@@linucs Yup! I know what you mean lol I just did the Oil Cooler replacement with the purple gaskets, replaced the Turbo actuator and the Swirl Flap motor with brand new Manifold Intakes, they were supper gunky. The car has 180k thousand kilometers on the clock. And now I have a coolant leak somewhere, I think the water pump needs to be replaced, no leaks from water pump at front of the engine, but I am hearing a gurgling sound coming from the pump.

Ive just got my late 02/03 e320 Avangarde from a scrap yard in great condition, currently has around 280,000km (170,000miles), it has nothing wrong with it engine wise body is amazing also besides a small dent in the drivers side door, I've given it a general service including new tyres and brakes ive also paid for a professional detail on the exterior and interior, and man does it feel and look like a brand new car such high quality!

2008 E550 4matic 211.90 192,000 miles. Bought from original owner 7 years ago full factory maintenance. Absolute rocket ship. Makes me smile every time.

[@doctorquestian]

I bought a 2005 8500 which I instantly fell in love with. Unfortunately within the first year I discovered an air leak in the front right balloon. To get another one what is expensive. But then I investigated purchasing high quality, High quality iron coil springs to replace the air on all fours. As it turned out, I found a mechanic that would do it, and I bought the parts, and I did it all for around $1800. Now I have a car that I never have to worry about having an air leak in the suspension. I still love it just as much, in fact I love it more, because I don't have to worry about ever having an air leak again.

Now I come back to this video and I should say, What an amazing vehicle. Coming from owning only Nissan/Infiniti what a fantastic handling car! I fixed an airmatic sensor and it’s riding pretty level planning on getting all 4 struts and pump replaced, As per taking it to the dealership for the SBC pump replacement (free no cost) as It’s randomly throwing a “Brake malfunction” I’ve put around 2K miles in it already it’s sitting at 210K miles got it for a steal!

Id suggest replacing the brake lines completely from the ABS block to the wheels, it’s around the age those solid steel lines are going to be pretty corroded especially above the fuel tank.

Replace the auxiliary battery in the hood..this battery is responsible for powering abs

[@elsombero1747]

I used to own a w210 and it was quite an amazing piece of machinery. I loved the fact that the washer fluid was heated by the engine coolant through a coil in the reservoir which was quite a great feature in winter. However the late W210 which I owned had an issue with corrosion. I had to sell it. Sure, the C Class and the W211 had it too but only till 2004. The ones that came in 2005 and later, didn't had this issue. If you're searching for a good and tank like daily, try finding the 220 CDI or the more powerful 320 CDI. When it comes to AMG, choose the less powerful version of it (I believe it was E55 AMG) and for the gasoline versions, the E320 is great, especially if you equip it with a LPG Gas installation. Also if you manage to get one, choose the business version. It has air adjustable seats with vibration motors, Airmatic that's easier to service than the one in W220 and it has some extra features like my friend has one with factory refrigerator in the back seat row

[@evang9708]

My dad had two 220cdi's, a 270cdi, and an e200 kompressor, lovely cars, Im a big fan now.

[@roberts8507]

True. But I still like the bigger W212 better. W211 rides like a small car to me. But W211 have better driver seat. Interior, the buttons are better than W212. The wood finish does not fade like W212. The map screen is low in W211 it becomes dangerous to use. And yes both run like the devil.

[@snggarageeng]

w212 is slightly bigger

[@SDav21]

I have a E350 bluetec W212. I love it but I feel the W211 drives better and more like a bigger car. The W211 is smoother, quieter and drives better over bumps. It's the one thing I don't like about my W212....the ride. Because my friends W211 E350 rides smoother and softer for me which I prefer.

lol I got this video recommended right after buying a crashed w211 E280 2007. Yes, it has the timing chain problem, but the car only cost me 2300 and the repair (timing chain + crash) will be about 2500. So it was more than worth it. The interior is soooo beatiful.

thats surprising im aiming to buy that exact model yet im still a bit sceptical about other bigger issues that might cost a bunch (airmatic and other major engine issues)

[@JamesTheRealSpeaker3.0_]

I just bought a 2003 W211 E500 Avantgarde. With the original M113 5 litre, 5 speed. Had a custom 2.5inch cat-back exhaust put in, and the car is just beautiful. It's just crossed into that classic look, and now has a BIG, rich V8 sound. I also have a W212 E550, which has great tech and drives amazingly, but the W211 is so much plusher with much better leather.

[@snggarageeng]

what milage on w211 ? congrats !

[@whlawson5812]

MB has no real leather but has MB-tex. W212 has better exterior lines and much less rust issues. Anyhow I'm going to drop the undercarriage covers of my W211 for repairing cracked covers with epoxy and spray bottom with a bit of lanolin as PM. Regards.

[@JamesTheRealSpeaker3.0_]

@whlawson5812 I agree that the W212 has better lines. I love how the 211 looks, but the W212 is one of the best looking cars on the road still. But I do prefer the interior of the 211. Fortunately I'm in Australia where we don't have a huge amount of rust issues.

[@vipermax3790]

i have a white W211 E280 3.0 V6 2009 with 94K/KM it feels like its just left the factory, and the V6 is like driving a V8...it sounds grumpl and mad, but it's just fast, and really smooth on the road (not air suspension)

[@systembolaget9044]

It is the best E class for sure. To me personally only c207 coupe based on the w212 beats w211 in terms of looks but not in quality and realbility. Also the w211 was the last E class to have the bulletproof oldschool mercedes engines.

[@snggarageeng]

do you have w211 ?

[@shawna7813]

Yes, W211 and W210 had more attractive coupes that W211, thought W211 is the best looking sedan.

[@whlawson5812]

I am thinking of swapping my 2006 W211 for a C207 E250 of year 2012 - sometime in 2025. Will take a slow approach so not to end up with a lemon. How is NVH, touch points, seat comfort, built quality of a C207 vs an W211?. A 2012 C-207 should be better than a 2012 C-200 in these parameters?. Or about the same. 😂😂😂 By 2009 Mercedes already decoupled from Chrysler. By 2012 Mercedes quality should be much better?. I drive not more than 90mph in the highway and most of the time with only a total of two on board so low hp is not an issue. Regards

[@sydneylivecamera]

That was a fun video. Like a W211 it has no hint of AI. I drive an S210 but keep thinking I want an S211 - “Three times the service cost of w210 and w124” scares me a little bit!

[@snggarageeng]

yes , you are absolutely right

[@gregdesena4207]

I bought a 2006 E350 about a year and a half ago. I prefer to stay away from the air suspension completely. One key to buying a good 211 is exactly as you said, make sure it's been well maintained, that way you can be assured that issues like the idler pulley and balance shaft have already been taken care of. I believe the SBC brakes are underrated as far as feel. I'm lucky to live in the US where MB has a 25 year warranty on the SBC from date of purchase, so there's some peace of mind there as well.

I just got a few errors codes that it needs a couple of sensors (not to expensive) but another code popped up related to possibly a stretched timing chain. The chain looks ok but it does have nearly 160k miles. Would it be prudent to change out the timing chain and tensioners along with the 2 sensor needed since they don't last more than 150k or so?

[@gregdesena4207]

@@smelmybut I would definitely at least have the timing chain and tensioners looked at. 160k miles is right about where issues with the timing chain can start, so I would 100% get it checked if you're getting codes that are possibly related. If the timing chain skips it can brick the motor, so definitely get out in front of that.

[@Michael.Chapman]

Great info, superb video, thank you! But awful that it's become even possible--really, a Chinese Mercedes? One reason I chose the W211 E350 (after owning a W124 300E) was that it was still made at the main factory in Sindelfingen. Another reason I chose the big M272 V6 /E350 was that few were ever optioned with air suspension--and the AvantGarde E350 is fitted with lowered sport steel suspension from the factory. I thought the V6 E350 with sport suspension a great compromise. I'm the second owner and it took several years of regular 6-monthly servicing before the car was returned to an excellent mechanical state throughout.
