Service it, fix the faults and refurbish the wheels. Don't tart it up and you should get a good return on it and appeal to a larger market

[@joshmerrick4716]

Totally agree. It’s not the sort of car to add spacers and modifications to. You really limit the sort of person this kind of car will appeal to by doing bits like that to it. Service it, sort the wheels, buff the headlights, and maybe get it professionally detailed. Job done

[@jschrademusic9511]

@@joshmerrick4716I say mod the granny out of it

[@jonnygti]

Yeah, it would put me off buying this type of car if I noticed it had spacers fitted

[@4DSpills]

So you have a car worth £3-4k, but how much have you spent on fixing all the cars up? Would be good to see a video on what your spend is vs how much the car is worth.

[@setch8327]

i like how you actually have a go at fixing ur own stuff instead of most youtubers who pay folk to do it then say they have 👍👍

[@JesseCollingham]

It went together so it can come apart is my policy 🙌🏼🤣

[@spanishjohn420]

sick series i feel invested in it just watched every episode lol whens part 7 boi

[@KnowPorcelain1]

Diesel Mercs are renowned for playing up if used on short journeys, I have bought a few Gems where the owner thought it would cost a lot of money to repair, when all it needed was a good run and clear out. On the OM642 engine if it happens after 30 miles or so check the O rings on the turbo that has been replaced if the bloke didn't service the vehicle he may of skimped on replacing the O rings, you will see where the oil has seeped and the pressure escapes on the boost pipe from the intercooler to the Turbo, its usually the cold side where the pipe or ring crack or break.

[@LewisGrayy]

GTI Bumper on a diesel is criminal 😂

[@chrisb2443]

Too true!

[@MathewBoyes]

Hello, I've reckon your car's gonna be Mercedes.

[@shona5512]

It's just a GTI Grille. There's no difference in GTI & GT TDI bumpers.

[@JordzyBrev]

Makes it look better

[@novicetheaf]

It's so good it's criminal 😉

[@LeeFradley]

Love the merc I think you've dropped on there .Just the kick you needed and you deserve it for your enthusiasm alone enjoy the journey .I am.

[@Horizon.carcare]

Don’t “modify” it and you’ll be on to a winner

[@Street_Automotive]

Love this series. Have started a similar one myself. I have Been following you on my personal KZbin since the Corsa days. Just wanted to say well done mate that consistency and dedication throughout to grow this channel is inspiring. The jobs you've grafted in between to. Now your own house and channel growing massively 🙌💪 Do miss the driveway vids with your dad to. Legend. 😎

[@AH-007-75]

This is an air leak after the turbo but before the inlet manifold/throttle body. Check pipes and joints for tighteness and splits on pipe work or rubber seal inside of each end of each pipe

[@kris985]

If you get this car inspected I highly recommend checking out the suspension, the old CLS are very heavy and eat through bushings like there’s no tomorrow! The engines on them are pretty solid though

[@willsreviews3185]

Smashing Jamie FYD and Lockwood for views at the moment😂 well done mate

[@AI-Records24]

Lockwood does he still do yt😂😂guy is so annoying

[@Bun0892]

Does it have to be a competition?

[@ThatOneBoy10]

Yes Jesse criminally underrated KZbinr been subbed to you for many years man, you need a shoutout off sidemen or something so you have 1 mil subs 😂 love these videos 👍

[@JesseCollingham]

Kind words man thank you!

[@BryHrzN]

What an interesting upgrade and like you said, especially value wise! This is a huge step in the right direction in regards to the meaning of this series. Keep it up dude!!

[@GaryReviewsStuff]

silent subscriber for years jesse but have to comment and say really enjoying these swapping episodes, really helpful and tips tricks ect really helping me learn a lot more i have mk4 golf really insightful so thanks brother keep them coming and smashing it as always, peace

[@JesseCollingham]

@@GaryReviewsStuff thanks a lot man!

[@akimtroksa5359]

If this is the 3.0 v6 diesel (om642) the most common problem with limp mode would be the electronic actuator for the turbo , way too common of a problem , my e class has the same issue , will get onto doing it soon too

[@Rayyandinho]

What a series! I genuinely think you will get the super car 🐐🔥

[@GILESY1973]

What an upgrade, you’ll be at you goal in no time. 👏🏻

[@connorbyrnes1269]

Bro got an absolute steal 👌🏽 nice one Jessie lad! You can really see how buzzed you are in this new series! Love it!! Note: I know for a fact when you went to sleep that night you were buzzing to get up and talk about it! 10/10 content. Really enjoying this, f**k what anyone else says, you do you and do what you want. Keep it up brother ❤

[@darrenmcgrogan8843]

if only you could actually keep the merc for yourself because your allowed to spoil yourself every now & then man. loving the series, took me awhile to catch up on videos due to family & work but such a great series man. stay safe & good luck 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@Superzesh101]

Welcome to the world of 3 litre 6 cylinder diesels mate. They all pull like trains, especially when on the motorway. I have to say though, nothing pulls like a diesel 3 litre BMW. If you get offered a 330d, 335d, 530d or a 535d, take it. You'll see what I mean. Great video as always mate.

[@notmanynamesleft]

M57 is an absolute unit,they are strong as an ox,never once had an issue with one and all tuned 👍🏼

[@jasaralija4052]

Boost pressure sensor located top left of engine

[@jstash9364]

Great swap, fiddly job lining up the window on a pillar-less car tho have fun😂

[@scottcallis3491]

New subscriber as this series caught my eye. Watched all the episodes linked to it, it's warming up very nicely. Nice Mercedes, ya well on ya way dude. Good job 🤘

[@gavturner4419]

Its nearly always the intercooler endcaps cracking on these mercs that causes the underboost limp mode issues , these and the w203/204s were notorious for it , iv had 4 c320s , every one of them suffers with it at some point ,electronic actuator/boost solenoid for the turbo sits below the cam cover at teh drivers side, leaky cam cover drips onto it and destroys it , also causing sporadic limp mode.

[@psychospoon8663]

Just started watching, I’m hooked. As others have said, would be good to see parts/repair costs. 👍🏼

[@Antony99]

Nice swap 👌 and the engine light wanted clearing and give it a run also for the wheels. I would go gun metal grey😎👌👍

[@h8rzzgaming552]

I had a limp mode problem on mine, same as your having with the gears, turned out to be the Maf sensor covered in crap I contact cleaned it then it was good as new

[@eattrainrepeat283]

Smashing it mate, keep swapping cars and don’t spend to many episodes on one car, one or two per car then you can keep the series flowing, be at 100k before you know it!

[@DaveBeatz]

knew it was going to be a merc. theyre nothing but trouble mate! parts aint cheap either!

[@mohammedabdulwahhaab7126]

Man Jesse so proud of you bro- seeing your reaction when u pulled up and saw the merc off camera is literally all of us when we go see a new car well done mate! Cant wait for this channel to hit 1 million subs one day soon broski

[@o.r225]

Keep it clean and simple - black out the light grey headliner and will make it a nicer place / AMG style 😎 love it

[@mohammedabdulwahhaab7126]

From a vauxhall corsa OG days to a Mercedes CLS smashing it mate keep going! Onwards and upwards

Yas Jessie mate ,,,, wrap it get massive wheels make it a monster bro ?

The spec is unreal I cannot believe you swapped the golf for it haha, well done mate deffo a massive step in the right direction!!!!! Good job Jesse and thank you Dan!!!! 🔥

[@alex-em1-blue]

this was a great idea and a has the potential to be a great series.. if you dont rush :) enjoying it so far :)

[@charliebear2777]

Go on lad. Rooting for you 💪

[@jamierichads4589]

Staying true to his word s and sicking it out instead of getting bored after one car good lad jesse

[@NYChemicalRomance]

That’s an impressive jump considering it’s only the third car 👍

[@spartan5008]

Glad to see you doing well jesse, been following for years! Enjoying this series too 🤟🏼

[@JesseCollingham]

Thank you man!

[@Y3_OPSY]

Right hand side boost hose common problem they split at top I had 2 c320 3l V6 and instant fix check that first 😊

[@dariusdmg2157]

Check the turbo pipes also very common! I see them on a daily

[@terrorputic7549]

Don't bother modifying this one, not the right market for it. Also check everything to do with the install of the new turbo to see if anything has been fitted incorrectly or is lose etc. More than likely an air leak from the new turbo install causing your issues but also could be a damaged sensor etc, so just give it a good check.

[@Garygaztop]

Great swap, sounds like it may be an EGR valve, had the same issue on an ML320 years ago.

[@calumjackson-tait8079]

Anyone saying “don’t modify it” must not realise that he clearly enjoys working on these cars as well as the fact that he’s also benefiting from making more videos in this series too.

[@georgeveselinov3105]

I was not expecting a cls, honestly. These cars are very very good. That is proper old school Merc. 😮😮😮😮

[@davidsewell3745]

Yes mate nice one, huge step in the right direction, they're such a cool looking car these

[@jackwatson5400]

I’m old enough to remember the release of these things and seeing the advert on the tv for them. Wanted one so much untill I discovered Mpower BMWs

Just found you and can’t stop watching - subbed and here for the journey!

[@JesseCollingham]

Thanks man!

@@JesseCollingham if I did this, I’d be like “I’ve cleaned the glass up and now I’ve got an engine management light, so I’m just going to torch the car in my driveway” 😂😂😂

[@chrisgelsthorpe220]

Love this, love my big cars absolute steal this and massive step in the right direction.. Id like to say keep it oem but imagine this with a decent pipe system on and a stage 1 😂 would be insane. Keep it up, looking forward to the next vid

[@CallMeSpoon]

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction, I've just purchased a swift sport 2016, and looking to have a custom exhaust fitted, would I just go to a random garage to have this done? Do I need to purchase the exhaust, will a garage do it for me? In the Bolton area, hoping someone can help

[@andrewmarriott4033]

Stunning mate great swop you’ll probably get some problems maybe needs a service and the gearbox too but just needs a few trips to clear It out 👍

Can’t wait for the straight pipe and remap in this v6 beauty I’m absolutely loving these videos Jesse mate wow

[@thesilentgametestr]

worst thing he could dp

[@MrMk1clio]

Top tip for you start meeting people when swapping that way you know the cars have decent enough to get to where you’ve met 👌

[@JesseCollingham]

How do you mean? I have to meet them to swap? 😄

[@MrMk1clio]

@@JesseCollingham I meant if you meet them half way you’ll know that the car your getting can do a decent drive mate

[@sccobyste]

Check for splits in the bodywork in the boot for leaks really bad broken coil springs all round and a leaky turbo

[@sugar-3-Danny]

Absolutely smashing it Jesse. Loving the series. Keep it up 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@sugar4522]

Those 320cdi merc engines are awesome 👍🏻

[@800t5y]

Yeah nice Jess!!! Loving the vids man, I have been following l the golf vids ✌️🤛

[@callumsheppard1913]

the reason for the boost pressure is trasjuicers are blocked and can regulate the turbo pressure properly

[@marksenior9220]

Great video. U can do a service reset through the wheel/dash so no need to plug in.

[@charliestacey8021]

Keep up the good work fella heading in the right direction

[@waynelittle5583]

Best thing to do run a decent fuel additive cleaner for egr etc spend a bit more on one though

[@josefhowells9690]

Yes jesse your getting so good at your videos wont be long you'll be making it ❤ well done your smashing it 💪

[@PaulGibbons13]

Great video Jesse you got a great car there love these videos 😀👍

[@BenBeecroft]

Easy cheap way to add value a full on detail wheels off job. Should go to your pals at Wax & Away that will come up lovely

[@drewcadaver]

The only thing to watch for when doing these swaps is with older diesels you might struggle to find buyers now with all the bullshit LEZ and ULEZ springing up. Certainly up here in Scotland, pretty much any diesel pre 2015 is an absolute no-go in any of the main city centres. Totally ridiculous and a major pain in the arse.

[@the_mk5_gashtra]

When is the next vid out. Damn I'm so invested in this series 😂

[@Bun0892]

If it is the sensor causing limp mode sometimes it will only happen above a certain speed, my old passat did the same but only if i booted it above 65/70

[@thesilentgametestr]

Commenting mid video, but regardless of whatever the issues are, you actually did it properly this time and got a better car than the golf and your civic for that matter. As long as you don't mod it too much, you might actually swap it for something better.
