@@MB212 nox sensor.. O2 sensor? And.. why is it braking as often? (I own 2012 W212)

[@dzitiatri]

@@bjarnieinarsson3472 Because sensor ir piece of crap. All I know with facelift diesel SCR, all had Nox failed. And as I understand the more you operate the car, the more you need to change is not a lifetime part. Everything would be ok, but Merc is greedy and asks 500 euro for 1 sensor.

Hi there! I love your videos! :) I own a W212 and appreciate the work that you do so much. Could you possibly tell me, are those genuine Mercedes rubber floor mats, and if so, do they have a part number? I would love a set like that for my 350, but cannot find anything that covers the footrest and has such a large retaining lip around the outside. :) Thanks in advance! (Edit: I have watched part 2. They are taxi floor mats? I will try and look them up!)

[@MB212]

Thanks for watching : ) Hope you stay for upcoming videos! Taxi mats 140 euro each new, unfortunately they not sells as a kit anymore! Trunk mat is 360 euro new! Front right A2126840802 Front left A2126840002 Rear right A2126840402 Rear left A2126840302 Trunk A2126840906

Thanks 🇩🇪

[@MB212]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@Mughal18457]

i think that merc has been washed a lot and used to get washed more than avg cars because its a taxi. it should be clean at all times but still sikc

[@valtonxhemaili7878]

Hey could you tell me how this former taxi turned out with the engine and other stuff transmission bcs i’m looking to buy one e200 former taxi and i dont know if its worth the risk

[@MB212]

Engine failure at 570.000 km, transmission was flawless. Also overall shape was really good.

[@kdillon5358]

Fantastic work. What year is she ?

[@illyrianalbanesi2692]

Mercedes benz the best🇩🇪

[@mathisbouel7554]

hello, what product do you use to clean plastics? thank you !

[@Fredrichardssss]

What solution do you use to clean the car inside?

[@MB212]

Usually just some multipurpose clean same as for home etc nothing fancy is needed in my mind.

[@jarac98]

nice

[@stevengordon-head2420]

Much better 😆

[@ΘανασηςΦρεντζος]

Very bad guy the owner of this car

[@fikipaldi6288]

The engine is not good sound, I think is a timing chain or some fuel injector? Bad chain is a regularly problem OM651

[@joniaalto1948]

Sounds normal high mileage OM651

[@mikefrith8862]

Sounded like a diesel to me.

[@fikipaldi6288]

@@mikefrith8862 Yes, but knocking is not normal. Timing chain is usually changed in 250,000-300,000 km

[@andremartiniuskalstadtjosa1309]

If the chain is stretched or the chain tensioner it generally makes noise on start up only and the noise goes away once the tensioner gets oil preassure.

[@andremartiniuskalstadtjosa1309]

There might be worn chain guides which is very uncommon on these but for this mileage probably not impossible. Checking or taking of the accessory belt first to check if the noise goes away would be a good idea to start tho. Might just be a bad alternator pulley and some other pulleys

[@mchabros1]

Great channel! I love your videos on this and the MB212 Clips channel. Why did you change the E350 to the E220?

[@MB212]

Thanks! Mainly because I wanted a new challenge, the white was in excellent condition and not much more I wanted to do with the car. And also with diesel price and everything else going up these days is nice to drive a cheaper car for a while!

[@mchabros1]

@@MB212 Feel sorry for the adblue problems. In my Insignia I had to replace both NOX (€350 each) and the adblue pump (€700). And the car's mileage is 120,000 km ...

@@morganmcdonagh2663 Have you ever driven and/or owned one?? It’s a very refined diesel engine with plenty of low end torque, all you need for daily driving..

[@morganmcdonagh2663]

@@carscloseup well, have you ever driven the 350 6cyl? Makes a better noise, more power and torque and more refined.
