We revived an abandoned Mercedes E500 S211 Wagon. Disaster Detail First Wash In Years Restoration

[@gregdesena4207]

Really nice work. Drives me crazy how people will leave a lovely 211 Wagon to rot though. Glad it was rescued and I hope it gets a good home.

[@Needs.Detail]

Thank you very much!

[@RustyCar]

At one point in time, this car was someone’s pride & joy. I rescued a 2003 Buick Century, and while it’s not a Benz, I was glad to bring it back to life and restore it to its dignity. 21 years old and now only 51K miles. It literally was ready for the junk heap. Restored the interior, paint correction, and had to pay my mechanic to bring everything up to date. So glad I did as it’s become my daily driver.

[@andrezejobuch4527]

@rustycar....sounds like a dream car my friend. Bet the pictures would look fantastic. Enjoy your new daily whip buddy and greetings from East Anglia, UK 😊😊😊

[@geraltofrivia1673]

There are plenty of reasons. Maybe its owner died. Or gone broke. Or sick. No one knows.

I had one of these in black with tan interior. Best car I’ve ever owned. Extremely fast and way ahead of its time with the specifications it had. I miss that car

The biggest mistake the channel owner made was that he started the engine after years of stopping. Everything was damaged, especially the oil and fuel, and this causes problems for the engine over time, knowing that this mistake should not be made by a professional in his field.

[@Sonolaleggendadeimotori]

@@issamrassoul1832 Se dopo la partenza, cambi subito l'olio del motore, acqua, candele, olio del cambio e differenziale, non credo che si possa aver fatto danno nella sola messa in moto, e lo spostamento di qualche metro. Insomma nei pochi minuti di funzionamento. Non è partito al primo colpo, un po' ha girato, meglio dal punto di vista degli "incollaggi". Poi basta vedere dal tappo olio se c'è melma sulla punteria. L'olio motore mantiene bene i due anni di fermo. Certo va cambiato perchè chimicamente è contaminato, e sono d'accordo con te, non è salutare tenerlo ancora nel motore.

[@deyoviC]

Please, one very important detail is to unclog the water drain plugs from the sun roof as well as on the rear (there's a rubber hose running behind the back passenger wheel) and the front hood. They will 100% be clogged and you don't want water sitting inside them after such good restoration. Edit: Forgot to mention why I say this: whenever u see that much mold in a car then clogged drain plugs are 99% the main cause.

[@lukavisuals1065]

one thing I know, never try to even turn on an engine on when a car is abandoned for a long time. untill you change the oil and check few stuff, it isn't okay to do so.

[@DennisBonich]

That engine is one of the most bulletproof Mercedes engines... No need to worry

[@Falix_7]

@@DennisBonich thats not the point. An oil change after this period of time is essential before starting the engine.

This was my last company leasing car for 4 Years which I bought finally after I went into retirement. I drove it until 300000 km and then I sold it. The car is very spacy and also reliable in deed. After I bought an EV from Hyundai to reduce overall running cost. Diesel is very expensive in Germany. About 1,7 US$ per liter. Silver was also my favorit colour.

Why leave a car to rot? Just sell it for scrap or spares or repairs people do it all the time in the UK

[@tomtheraton3058]

I see that in uk they are letting rot cars just in front of their house (like the lotus carlton)

[@КириллМихалин-ю5ы]

Sometimes its not just a car, it remembers people of good happy days, and also money they can earn for this car in this condition, aren't money for them at all. A man who bought it new for 70.000 $ wouldn't be happy earning 500$ for it now, he thinks "id better leave it in my barn", and that's how these stories are born.

Save it please. My family has w211 2004 e320 225k. Still going! It’s not too hard to wrench on and just needs preventative maintenance and wear and tear parts are easily available and even gets lifetime warranty’s from .coms euro parts. W211s are the best looking cars man. The brake systems are faulty but they gave it a 25year warranty to get it fixed. Good luck fellas get it on the road asap!

Spectacular detail! Good for you! The only thing I disagree with and would caution you against is sanding the headlights. They were in good shape and not yellowed at all but by sanding them, you destroyed the protective coating that Mercedes treats their headlights with. They will now yellow within a year. I suggest putting ppf on them and replacing it every 3-4 years.

I hate this type w211 because of the brakes Electrical problems You did a good job on this vehicle

[@maxpower3754]

You're right, but that pointless SBC was removed during the facelift and then everything was fine again.

[@castila]

In the U.S., Mercedes-Benz extended the warranty to 25 years (unlimited mileage) for the SBC braking system, so it's no problem for E-Class, S-Class, CLS-Class, SL-Class, Maybach, and SLR McLaren customers here. There were a number of NHTSA Recall Service Campaigns and DTBs/TSBs that addressed some of the issues early on (e.g., installing the newer double pulsation damper hose, replacing the older SBC pump unit with a later revision, etc.), so most of the cars still on the road in the U.S. with the SBC braking system (assuming that the owners were smart enough to read the letters sent to them in the mail from Mercedes-Benz USA...), including mine, perform very well (my 160,000 mile car's SBC system, which functions properly, has better braking performance than the brakes on my much newer, lower-mileage, perfectly-maintained Mercedes-Benz I own...). When the actuation limit is reached and/or the expensive SBC ABS pump needs to be replaced, the dealership takes care of this replacement (parts and labor) for free for 25 years with unlimited mileage in the United States, as I had stated earlier.

[@haithemNF]

@@castila Yes, you are right, 🇩🇿But we are in Algeria, you only have to change the SBC brake system once for free. Then, if something happens to it or it breaks down, you fix it yourself, which is a rather expensive system. In any case, it is a reliable and sturdy car on the road. I have a car. E class 2003 diesel cdi e220. Thank you sir for the information you provided

[@castila]

@@haithemNF Yes, it is *very* expensive to replace/repair if you have to pay for it yourself. Sorry to hear that Mercedes-Benz did not extend the same warranty in Algeria.

That was a lot of hard work . All very well done . Great to see . That shade of silver on a Merc really is beautiful . . As an aside , what really saddens me these days is the quality of replacement car mats sold by "Main Dealers" . The originals are always thick , plush quality items . The replacements that come from "Main Dealers" look like they've been bough from the local £ / $ shop or market stall , thin / lifeless, but bearing the official manufacturer logo. 😞. What a con ! I wonder if Head Office know / support this scam ? ? Or is it just the "locals" ripping off customers the way we all know they do .
