I Fixed EVERYTHING On The R63 AMG & Then Tested 0-60 MPH Against My E55 AMG Wagon On A Drag Radial!

[@LegitStreetCars]

What would you rather own? R63 or E55 Wagon?

[@rohittaurus911]

e55 wagon......

[@samvhell9104]

E55, not a fan of the look of the R Class

[@s3xy-wtf]

E55 wagon, Supercharged superwagon ❤

[@Roderickdl]

E55 Wagon. Those are harder to come by.

[@jandkwhite6459]

This guy, and practically all his videos, is probably one of my favorite car enthusiast, repair, and educational people on this medium. He's a regular guy (and smart) and generously offers his immense knowledge, skills, and opinion for enlightenment and group benefit. I look forward to every one of his updates. Fantastic guy with a terrific channel!

[@Samcrac]

Parts from FCP Euro are the best! I just got an entire truckload of stuff for an upcoming build! By the time we're out of quarantine we'll collectively have saved a few million dollars in dealer service prices by DIYing our projects!

[@LegitStreetCars]

Can't wait for that series. I've always liked hot pink VW Bugd with those eye lashes for the headlights you bought.

[@SkylineLofe]

Nobody: LSC: The engine of a R63 AMG is a great couch once you place some foam on it

[@rulz5513]

Sai Vootukur as soon as I clicked on the video I started scrolling to the comments just to comment what u said 😂

[@jamesbambury]

Finally the silver lining of the coronavirus, Alex is forced to worked on cars again.

[@wheresthepictureidk2817]

15:12 guy behind you was about to turn into the other lane but then realized you were in an amg and not just a mini van!

[@adamdo548]

Crazy how fast that thing is. Try a 0-60 with it full of people.

[@MIUBHI007]

“Oh, your injectors you got from us stuck open and hydro locked your engine? Don’t worry, we’ll send you out another set right away!”

[@thatmatty231guy]

Mike Scenna yea lol

[@albonfilms]

Hot damn! That wagon is fast!

[@4035andrew]

E55 wagon forsure. Honestly, thank you Alex for this channel. I always loved and wanted the early 2000's E55 AMG, but I've always shied away from owning one because of repairs.

[@TheMick26]

OMG, Alex! That AMG E55 wagon is a ripper! It's rediculously quick and I want one!👍😎 All the best to you and your family, sir.

[@jibmaster]

Hell yes. Always good to see a pro mechanic at work. That wagon...omg it dominates!

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

Enjoyed that video, good format and i like when you get right into the work with excellent results like you had! Awesome

[@FabioGs007]

AWESOMEEE E55 ALEX!! really really lovely wagon!!! Amazed how quick it is!

[@stephenoverstreet9898]

Alex I’m so sorry you (and everyone else in the world) have to socially distance. That being said, I was so pleased to hear you’re back to fixing your own cars in your own garage. This is what brought me to your channel in the first place, and I would be thrilled for you to do more of this OG content. Keepin in simple!

[@FixItRyan]

Anyone want to see Alex work on a regular M113? Hey Alex, if this comment gets a good number of likes, can I ship my CLK500 to you for some maintenance videos? 🙏

[@chiefdenis]

Unless it gets a supercharger right after

[@sj7624]

Alex thanks for the hook up on the Kove Commuter 2 Bluetooth speaker! That is ONE HELL OF A DISCOUNT!! Also, I glad you found a worthy Merc to work on!

[@shifty277]

So nice to see an experienced mechanic at work!!

[@acehood6527]

Love the repair /maintenance vids! Keep up the good work!

[@TheDerpistan]

This is so helpful! I wanted to do the flex disk and the injectors on my R63, but there aren’t many (any?) videos of someone working in the engine bay - I knew that black cover had to come off!

[@TheRealHammer]

15:24 what app are you using to measure acceleration?

[@mozartcarclassics]

Great video! Same here - ordered brakes, filters, etc. for 5 cars!

[@FixItRyan]

When you open up KZbin just for LSC and it's the first video you see, you know it's gonna be a good day :)

[@ktga67ish]

Your audio is on point here, props!!

[@SandyNickk]

Chicago PD: “Sir, you can’t be parking on both sides of this street” Alex: “I pay taxes, don’t I? These are my roads”

[@twilson1973]

Nice video. I definitely appreciate the step by step process on the repairs you perform

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks Tim. Appreciate you watching

[@wilfredovelez2216]

I love videos when you repair cars. It gives us the insight and confidence to do it. Thanks!!!

[@ChristianGrest]

Great video Alex! Been watching your videos for a while now, but fairly new subscriber. Regular car guy here(owned many new/old cars, both fast and slow), but recently picked up our first MB a 16' CPO C300 4Matic Sport/AMG package car. I work for a German company, so most every time I traveled there for work, I had a MB for a rental and was always impressed with them. Anyways, I also try and do most of my own wrenching....I feel like I'm starting off on a new journey learning all there is on the new MB. Watching your videos makes me want to find an older one to tinker on as well. Keep up the awesome work!

[@89StarKiller]

Absolutely love your DIY tutorials. Wish you also did them on BMWs I would watch each and every one!

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks brother!

[@maximecollet30]

Damn, took me 5 hours to replace the injectors on my 1.6 citroen 😂 replaced them for bigger ones to run on e85, turns out they were too long to fit but i made it work, was my first time working on my car too besides oil changes

[@mrgtsx]

Could the fuel injectors stocking open be a u.s problem due to octane rating? I haven’t seen that problem here in Australia ( our premium is 98 octane)

[@paranoid1123]

Are you sure your pump gas is 98 Ron? Not 98 PON?

[@mrgtsx]

paranoid1123 it’s 98 Ron and we also have ethanol (e85) from the pump

[@paranoid1123]

Your 98RON is the same as out 93 (R+M)/2

[@xpally944]

You should make a video about the E63 5.5 Biturbo engine and the newer 4.0 Biturbo. Things to know, reliability, maintenance cost ect. Love your videos!!

[@benyoung2836]

ALex !!! Thank you for this. I love the wagon/sedan e55 comparison . I would love to see the wagon get the same mods as the Sedan just for comparisons

[@EvilMusicRocker]

you make it look easy! love your videos!

[@svalenti94]

Love these types of videos!

[@edimalan14]

Keep doing these videos!! And show us a little more how you do the repairs and tips are awesome

[@MattCSLnut]

I Love these kind of videos 👌🏼it’s what got me hooked to your channel 👍🏼 E55 Wagon all the way mate 💪🏼😎

[@lmCIoudz]

This is a great channel, keep up the great and high quality work!

[@BoothsEurotrash]

Loved the video! Can’t wait to get my Kove speaker too. Hoping it works well

[@bluntp.n.i.c7701]

We love to see you fix then top speed run them after

[@eQuASiANXane]

@legitstreetcars any plans to do this similar sort of work to an M177 engine in the near future? I'd love to be able to follow your content for the this sort of maintenance on my own AMG!

[@glennstocker487]

Cheers from down under Alex, love your work & especially your W211 by far the best, you know you need a bigger workshop when? you resort to working on a piece of cardboard on the workshop floor - all to familiar to me, both you & Kyle @ FPC Euro best Merc: content out there. Thanks again.

[@ryschy1059]

Can’t wait to see these videos dude!

[@saxonfan]

could you post a link or tell me what that tool is that squeezes the hose clamps...please

[@OGPedXing]

Yeah! I was like what???? I need this in my life!!!

[@MikeCostanzo12]

All 4 of those vehicles in the street was definitely a huge flex 💪💪

[@donstevens7847]

Hey Alex! Great job man!

[@udohequere6042]

Hey bro, I been watching your videos and it's very interesting, anyway I'm in love with GL550 and R63, keep real brother

[@TwinTurboM156]

Alex when will you get into camshafts, cam adjusters and lifters?? Bro really need it!! Just to check if they are in good shape or even replacement!! Thank you man!

[@opelz17]

Engine bay looks immaculate. Nice really rare find, Alex. MBTech approved

[@csebastian71]

You picked a picture perfect day. Love the diy videos.

[@basithph8958]

Man the R63 is a dope minivan One of the coolest vans out there

[@antreaskonstantinou8585]

Bro One of the coolest? Name a better minivan

[@jaioncebollero1168]

Antreas Konstantinou right, what a weird thing to say. There’s literally no better mini van in existence

[@basithph8958]

Jaion Cebollero well there is the Renault F1 van and the Ford Supervan

[@ashleydaniels1132]

@@basithph8958 which was not available as a production car. so this is the coolest mpv you can buy as a normal person.

[@basithph8958]

Ashley Daniels well true but it still kinda counts tho

[@kshitijtulsian5271]

Love those videos

[@evang9708]

Mighty car mods must be so jealous about how smoothly you work on cars.

[@idontlikecops1]

Mighty car mods SHITS on this channel fuck outta here

[@markchip1]

I did wonder - if you fitted new FCP Euro injectors (with their lifetime warranty!) and one DID happen to stick open, hydrolock and destroy the engine in the way you described - would FCPE replace the entire engine, or just the faulty injector?? Just an idle thought!!

[@CheeksBeClappin]

Fuel injectors are a good one. Just replaced injectors on my W211 E63 because the resistance was in the kilo Ohms and was causing a misfire.

[@DBSSTEELER]

Alex Pull the heady off of the Caprice and send them to TSP for the CNC port and polish.

[@TheSam2209]

What’s the cable clamp tool at 6:25 called?

[@ja.935g67]

My favorite videos on this channel is Alex actually doing some dirty work 😂 I thought I've seen it all but that Mercedes hose clamp proprietary tool is something else!

[@joeyahoo2438]

It is not proprietary, it is a standard spring clamp tool used on many other cars from Ford to Toyota.

[@regjoe30]

I could be wrong, but shouldn't you preload the suspension a bit before you tighten up those swaybar bushings the rest of the way? I know it goes together differently, but I had to do this for the lower control arms on my 740iL so they are in a more natural state sitting on the ground, rather than constantly bound in a twist, and twisting even more under hard cornering/braking. It causes premature failure of the lower control arm rubber bushings if you don't. I am wondering if this is the same.

[@jonathanvillasenor6451]

You should do the updated mirrors and a diy for the e55 wagon ;)

[@EALeathers]

Nice how MB let's you replace the flex disk by iteself vs attached to a new drive shaft like Cadillac. Had to replace my rear drive shaft to replace that disk bc it's attached.

[@FloodExterminator]

What's that "flexdisk" for? Also, that car behind you at 16:14 changing lanes to pass you only for you to leave them in the dust xD

[@ManMak6]

Oh I’m really digging the wagon!

[@Rick2010100]

What about the timing chain - they usually stretch above a certain milage?

[@BlackLung911]

I used to replace the rubber flex discs on a Ford Granada MK3 Diesel. After much swearing at the owner to get a UJ installed instead of the crappy rubber joint he finally went with my idea. Happy days :-)

[@parviz8888]

Could you make some video how to install keyless go feature based on original part if 2014 mercedes w212 doesn’t have this feature. Thank you!

[@user-mr9uy9gj5l]

"...basically turns into a couch!" LOL :-). Also, I think I've seen a video or two made by that really good looking KZbinr.

[@furthurondown]

is there a reason to use OEM replacement parts when often they were sub-par in construction? It's the case with my older gen Lexus more frequently than not and something aftermarket is a better answer. thanks!

[@MyJarrus]

BTW the R-class stands for racing hahaha

[@TheFroInBristow]

Pls post every song in this video. So many spicy tunes

[@seankellogg6154]

This is classic Alex that is the reason I subscribe, I do want to see an OM642 in the future..... hint hint

[@rogerjeck9281]

another great video Alex, love when you get after it right away with mechanicals! Is that mercedes Gleitpaste (sp?) you use quite often for lubrication? It is their sunroof lube, I believe? Thanks again and when is the diesel 211 going up for sale?

[@dayuntoday]

I prefer tightening all bushings when car is on the wheel,seams like that bushings also need that! It’s so fun spending money on new parts toys for bigg boys 😀

[@hultgrenjakob7065]

What do you Calle that eletrik Tool that du use to as a Ratchet?

[@mikekiel605]

Alex shouldn't you to tighten the sway bar bushing at ride height the way you did it they are stressed at max height.

[@hectorherrera8871]

Great Content!👍🏼

[@lbeckons304]

Super excited to watch some m156 content! Any idea why it looks like my driver side intake solenoid camshaft thingy is leaking oil, it appears to be coming out of the electrical end of the solenoid.

[@indianboi3]

Awesome Mercedes bro

[@thegenius46m]

Needs the trans solenoid mod you did on the sedan and it'll be epic

[@jeffmeijer3137]

Thanks Alex you've given me confidence in buying an AMG ml63 this will be my first Mercedes I have one question with remapping will this count the vehicle being a standard vehicle just with response to the pedal and fuel consumption I think your videos are grouse ie Primo

[@Castor1Troy1]

What is that hose clamp tool you used on the reservoir clamp called?

[@Landshark928]

15:11 the car behind you could not guess you would speed up that quick

[@mihalutsk]

What app are you using to track 0-60 time?

[@catfishcorner7116]

Thanks Alex for another informative video! Stay safe out there my friend!🐟

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks for watching brother!

[@KM-bs1gf]

Please do more video on preventive maintenance like this. The modifications are cool, but generally i like to maintain the car as long as possible 😁👍

[@ShinigamiLilith]

Love your videos man! I currently drive Audi A4 3.0 Quattro, but you made me aim for E55 AMG soooo bad :D Also watching you makes me wanna move to US with my gf :D Keep them coming! :D

[@KnightRiderWRX]

HEY GUYS Alex here!....no wait... THIS! Is the Mercedes R63 AMG and it is a VAN! Now I'll be showing you around THIS AMG VAN...no wait... Hello my name is Alex and I've borrowed my friends couch!

[@edduadv]

I noticed you used a Febi product. Please Alex, review the aftermarket products specifically Febi, Meyle, lemforder and Bosch product. Which are the best?

[@patallen5095]

Alex, with all those AMGs, a Tesla, an Escalade.......plus a cop car........your neighbours must think you're some super rich dude!! :))

[@AdamIsUrqed]

Looking forward to your collaboration with Scotty Kilmer where he challenges you to basketball where engine covers are the ball and a trashcan is the hoop. :P

[@OGPedXing]

Dude! I need that spring clamp tool from about 6:26! Please post a link! That was amazing!

[@gregporsche6162]

You should drop car to the floor then tighten bushings , this applying to all suspension components

[@JayLang7]

How’s the quarantine up in Chicago ?

[@UpsideGam3r]

yes i like these type of videos !

[@DeusVolo]

Alex is better than Geico because Alex saved me hundreds & hundreds of dollars & it only took around 15 minutes!

[@samrodian919]

That is fucking crazy! In the threes and it's an estate as we call them here in the UK. Frigging awesome!

[@simontveide1429]

Thought that Most bushings and Swaybar bushings, are supposed to be thightend when car is at curb weight position/when car is at normal ride height? 😊

[@paranoid1123]

ICar Chicago has a white r63 and I was wondering if it was this one? The price is a bit high but if it’s the one you worked I would feel better buying it.

[@NoahWebster01]

paranoid1123 not the same R63.

[@ivansaban9472]

Alex, I saw you using iCar MB II for diagnostics. Are you using anything truly Bi-directional that compares to Star computer? I used to work professionally on MB, BMW and Porsches in the independent shop back in late 80's and early 90's. Computers were barely a thing back then! Now with my own 2008 GL320 CDi I would like more ability than my own iCar. I would like to change shift points from downshifting into 1st at 5-8mph to a complete stop only. Diesel has so much torque I would honestly prefer to start in 2nd and downshift to 1st only if I use downshift pedal. I see plenty of Chinese Start knock offs that somehow bypass a "handshake" with MB server for approval unlock. Thanx!

[@jetttskiman]

That R63 would make a sweet hearse. Could get to the cemetery right fn now.
