Very easy to clean an engine bay of a car that will break anyway so might as well pour water over it. #germancars

Lol

[@PrecisionMike]

@singular9 These cars are very reliable

Does all the water and removed grease pool on the topside of the skid plates underneath? Not that you can see them but if you do any routine maintenance you’re going to be removing them.

[@PrecisionMike]

@dukebeach1 - great question and I forgot to mention that. There are drain holes for the water to escape, but yes, some water can puddle on the underside covers. I normally leave those covers off the car, as they "hide" leaks.

[@dukebeach1]

@@PrecisionMike agree. I can’t stand those covers. I have a 2014 CLS550 with the 278 engine that always leaks for a variety of reasons. It’s a rocket however, so I put up with it. Love it. The best Mercedes I have ever owned was a 1998 E320. Actually, it was the best car I ever owned.

Great detail and explanation of the video! Do you also clean your C32 the same way? Do you keep the cover on at all times or remove it to fully clean the supercharger?

[@PrecisionMike]

@TonyBMalone - Thank you, I am glad you like it. Yes, I clean the c32 and e55 the same way, but I rarely drive those cars, they do not get very dirty. For the c32 and e55, I will pull the engine covers when I clean the engine bay

[@kaipena9579]

great video! would love to see more videos on the c32, i have one aswell and am not that car smart. any maintenance you do on it would be greatly appreciated as a video!

[@PrecisionMike]

@kaipena9579- Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I will be producing more content on the c32. Anything that breaks or maintenance that is required will be filmed. I plan on replacing the transmission valve body, conductor plate, filter and fluid soon. That is a good time lol. Is there anything specifically you are wondering about?
