DOING THIS JOB ON YOUR M156 63 AMG COULD SAVE YOU THOUSANDS! TRUST ME! ENGINE FAIL!

[@sprautos]

Apologies I haven’t posted for a while “Ive been ill 🤒 the past couple of months!” You can probably tell on this video I’m not back to best but it’s a start. We will be back on track as of next week. Appreciate the support and all the best everyone!

[@Timrud1]

Glad to see you back and more importantly on the road to recovery.

[@markrushton1516]

Until You Tube did anyone say your oil buckets don't look professional? Surprised there aren't Mercedes approved ones (at a cost)

[@Millennial_Manc]

@@markrushton1516 Not sure what the problem is. People get lip fillers in dirtier places than that.

[@markrushton1516]

[@coolcat23]

Great to have you back and I hope you'll fully recover in no time.

[@Atreid3s]

Just did oil, plugs, coils, and injectors this past week. My C63 is running like a top at 178k miles!

[@gbjeppm]

Its a no brainer on the M156, the video quality was a step up in my opinion. Good to see you back, I enjoy your content.

[@sprautos]

Certainly is. Plenty more to come.

[@laurencehastings7473]

Nice to see someone doing a brakeline check on routine maintenance.

[@arklst1976]

Watched this and got my injectors done (bought from you). The existing parts showed signs of wear, especially seals. Mechanic said this was a good call!

[@Dylan-xp6pk]

Sorry to hear that you have been ill, good to see you back. Excellent video, yes, picture quality looks sharper. Looking forward to you giving my CLK a thorough once over late July.

[@danielmccarthy1982]

Always a treat to see a new SPR video posted up!

Egle eyed viewer here i would have advised the customer to replace the camsensors as i could see oil on the plugs on the C63 M156 engine

Thanks. I always learn lots from your videos. Appreciate the honest info on pricing too.

[@ianmuir3640]

Good to see you up and about

[@coolcat23]

1:56 "I don't know why people don't do it [drain the oil cooler]". A good reason to not do it is because it is a challenge to get the air out of the oil cooler after the oil change. If some air is left in the oil cooler, it can stay there for a while and then be released at once, e.g., when someone puts the foot down and the oil pressure rises. This can lead to the engine being starved for oil for a moment and cause damage. In short, unless one has a way to get the air out of the oil cooler after the oil refill or otherwise control the release of the trapped air, one should not drain the oil cooler.

[@sprautos]

Good information, food for thought for our viewers. 🙏

[@andrewmooreandrewrmoore7615]

Welcome back ! Liking the new editing on the video. Don't overdo it until you are back to 100%.

Hi. I'm living in Sweden and admire your work very much. I wondered if you get any S-Class Coupe or Convertible in for A or B service. Maybe you could post a film online. Keep up the brilliant work👏🏿👏🏿🌞😉

[@JP-vs1ys]

I actually like your regular videos which are less choppy. Subscribed. Hope you are feeling better man.

[@sprautos]

thank you, yes im getting a better feel for the diditing now, and yes on the mend thank you. and thanks for the Sub. All the best.

[@markshaw8850]

I agree, injectors are a must at any age or mileage, my car 2014, 2 owners, injector No4 locked open and tried to hydrolock at 30k miles, luckily I knew what was happening and switched it off immediately, and managed to save it........after that happened I also did loads of preventative maintenance..........keep up with the gr8 videos........👍🏻👍🏻 SPR did my transmission service, cracking job guys......

[@sprautos]

Well saved! Great info For the viewers reading the comments. Cheers 🍻

[@adrianrigby1933]

Injectors wear out, we used to re-build carburettors at about 70,000 miles. Injectors are not a fit and forget thing. Also modern engines run a lot tighter parameters and bad injectors can wreck an engine. Not just the hydraulic problem of filing the cylinders with petrol mentioned. Good sound advice to my way of thinking. The car will also probably perform better and use less petrol for replacing worn /aged injectors.

[@richardmutton387]

Great video very informative 👏. I have a 2010 c63 performance pack 32miles on the clock. My best car is a 2006 a170 Thank you

4:13 you can use Mercedes oil but it’s simple and basic synthetic from Petronas. Mercedes themselves recommends also Ravenol oil, which is a sponsor in the German DTM and Nordschleife 24h.

[@MrCleptomanixx]

Camera work and editing are next level on this one

[@sprautos]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@colinfelce]

I'm doing my injectors tommorow, obviously bought from you at an amazing price..

[@Nick-bp7jf]

Good to have you back and i hope you soon make a full recovery. That genuine Mercedes oil is much cheaper than many branded oils, and that is sourcing it from main dealers on ebay. They used to offer a 20 litre 'lube cube' that nicely did two oil changes on my OM642.

[@Mrs.Thatcher]

Glad you are convalescing rather than decomposing! Great video.

[@adriansweet3359]

Good content welcome back

[@KyleJHB]

My M156 is on 197000km and as far as I know the injectors have never been replaced. My Mercedes-Benz specialist, essentially your counterpart here in South Africa, has also never recommended it. Might ask for a quote to do them on my next service which is due in 2 months.

[@sprautos]

Wow that’s good going, I would highly recommend them to be done. 👍 As the video shows I’ve seen it high and low miles and replaced many engines because of failure.

[@KyleJHB]

@@sprautos Update: I spoke to my Mercedes-Benz specialist, he says he's never replaced an injector on an M156 and never seen one fail since their introduction. It could be environmental related or fuel related but it seems here in South Africa it's not an issue. So for now I'll leave mine alone since it's a very expensive job.

[@LionBlu2000]

@@KyleJHB I guess it's fuel related? Because they stuck if there is some 'dirt'? So fuel would probably be the main cause.

I am curious as to the longevity of diesel injectors on an OM646.983 engine? (2004 Vito)

[@julesviolin]

⚠️Hardly any garage grease the lighting or suspension level sensors. If they were greased every service they wouldn't rust up and snap off. It takes 1 minute extra service time⚠️
