- So it's fixed. No more poor rev idle and the beast is alive again. Well I feel a little dumb because it was a simple fix but at the same time we came together and resolved other issues. I'm so happy all my vacuum lines are fixed as well. Many more videos to come.
You are a great man to do not give up at fixing these complex machines! They are totally worth all the effort you put in them
Great channel and thanks for all the great information you provide to us all. I have a 1992 Mercedes 500sel and my backup markers stopped working. Can you please make a video of how to fix these or where the device that controls them is located.
Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Keep them running. W140 is a car that every Gentleman has to own in his lifetime. 👍
Thank you Victor. Your a big reason I got into them and fixing them. Thanks for all you do for community. We all talk about how amazing you are with these cars.

Victor 👏🏽👏🏽💯💯🚘🚘🔥🔥
@@petescarportPete my W140 S500 1993 its turning on with no problems; but its not accelerating more than 1500 rpm. What may be the reason.
I am so glad this car survived and made it back on the road.
Thanks bro. Appreciate you watching and supporting
Love your vids
If ok, I'm going to reach out when I buy the w140 next week
Appreciate your brain and knowledge
As well as the amazing fellow w140 info contributors
Congrats!! Finally, the beast is alive again! :)
Thanks for the support.
I love this car keep up the good work
Good job, Pete!! We gotta do something. Let's link up and have a Benz day. My shop's in Temple Terrace.
Absolutely man. Let's connect. We need to start up a monthly Benz meet up.
So great to see it running
You can say that again. Lol. I want to drive it so bad. Have to put all back together tomorrow
Great cars the W140 I have a 1995 2door CL600 and a 75 W116 450se both enjoyable cruising cars, you have a gem and those wheels are rare I've never seen them before, they really stand out anyway I'm glad you got the problem solve and enjoy that car 👍
Thank you. I have a new car coming soon you will really love.
What's that car pete lol
If it's the one I think n what I'm doing to it then yeah hes gonna love it lol lol
Lol
great stuff, it is a great feeling when you think you might have lost your car and then boom you find the fault i know how you felt there pete.
Thank you and thank you so much for all your help.
@@petescarport no probs pete i will always give it my best guess
Such good news...I'm happy for you ✌
Wahoo. Lol. I can't wait to drive it today
Wow that's really different from a 1998 s420. I have no spark plug wires, no EGR and hardly any vacuum lines. It changed a lot in 3 years.
Yes they changed the year after mine.
Sweet! For all the Benz enthusiasts out there.. I have a thread on BenzWorld with no replies from anyone about a transmission issue titled "Reverse feels like park, extreme slipping/dragging feeling in drive" in the R129 sub-forum if anyone could take a look at it as well.
Thanks in advance! Glad you got it running good again man! Always satisfying yet annoying when it's just a simple little fix haha
Let's get it fixed!!!!
I brought the code reader from the same guy is you thank you so much
Awesome. Let me know if you have any questions
Hey Pete the next cosmetic mods should be tail lights I just swapped mine out because they were turning pink it's definitely time for yours to go
Got a good link for some good tails
@@zacharytodd5476 I got mine from Amazon they have a great OEM look as well check them out on my IG @cars_for_ weeaboo they come in the original color and they come in medium tinted and smoke tinted I got the medium tainted for $88
Turning pink means it is the original piece that came with the car.
Luv your channel you rite man we gotta stick together I have one as well gotta keep em running youtuber help me out a lot have good one
Thank you very much. I will make a video soon on how to fix. My neighbor is an old school body guy and we are going to build a pull machine. Going to be fun
Victor Sands is definitely the man , A w140 God 🚘👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you solved my problem
These cars u keep so iconic
A good friend of mines is going ng sell me a Benz like this with the same spark plug problems and I was wondering if you could give me some advice about how an where to start fixing the car how easy or hard it might be ??
Hello, I need help with getting to know the correct Radiator cap pressure for my Mercedes W140 Diesel please, currently I have a cap of 140 Kilopascals or 1.4 Bar, I think it's pretty high, I bought it new but caused some issues with high temps and a lot of pressure on the water hoses.Thanks and regards.
Where i can find victors videos ?
hey did you do something to the exhaust
Hey Pete quick question, I just change the vacuum soft door pump, and one of the doors doesn’t work, is it possible the pump or just the tube related to that door?
Hey Pete. Car looks great. I am very curious to know what the exterior color code is? And what style rims are those? I have a C140 myself that I love..
Exterior is a wrap but it’s called black rose by 3m. The rims are pretty rare but I’ve seen some out there. Mine are 19” Mandrus Emil in chrome. They did come in other colors as well.
So it was the lower wire harnesses?
Still need the lower wire harness for my 95 s500 119 motor
Said was shipped and then says they dont have
It was the lowere wire harnesses how was it hooked up the wire that snaps in was on the left or right?
It was the spark plug lead wire connecting the left bank. The wire got burned on engine.
@@petescarport okay because i am having the exact problem the wires all look good but for some reason the car starts idles smooth but when throttle is applied it bogs and sputters i did notice the wire on the right bank is very loose where it connects to the ignition coil is that normal? 95 s 420
What's up Peter. Where in Florida are you located? I'm in Boca Raton. I love your videos has helped me out slot on my 99 s420..
Awesome! Very nice!
Thank you
Can someone please link me with the vacuum line diagram
Fantastic that it's back! Did the transmission stop shifting funky?
Hey brother I need those pictures also I had terrible idle turned out I had a broken intake manifold gasket swapped them out & now I need to connect the vacuum lines but I can't find the pictures anywhere it would be awesome if you can email them to me also I will be very grateful
Streigh pipe?
What’s vectors channel?
Restore your Mercedes
Hello Pete, congrats on your fix, my car is a 94 s500 and i m also suspecting vacuum leak from the engine, is it possible to send me the vacuum line wiring?
Thanks. I believe all the cars have the diagram under hood but I searched for it on google.
Rims?
Sorry but i have a problem with my soft close , it has a time when everything is working , and after some days of using it , it stops working , when i dissconnect the pomp and conect it agains starts working again for some time ...
So that is what will happen when you have a leak in the system. Best way to test is to reset and try shutting each door one at a time. You may here a hissing noise and that is where leak is. Or if door shuts slow most likely a leak.
My guy love the channel , but you got a typo it’s Buying , (Breaking ) Fixing
It’s a play on words
What kind of rims are those?
They are called Mandrus Emil
Скажи пожалуйста,как называются диски и какой размер?
Once you are a Mercedes W140 expert, let me ask you something: I have an S500 and feel the car could be quicker with a shorter rear end ratio. Do you know if the S320 fits the S500?
What rims 🤤🥴
Mandrus emil
My 1999 S500 gets hot at 5 hours after 5 hours driving home just anybody knows an issue why
That could be a lot of things. More specifically make sure fan is running, coolant is full and are you sitting when it gets hot or moving.
@@petescarport DRIVING FOR 5 HOURS
Wish my 95 s420 would be that easy as being a plug wire... starts n runs fine then after it warms up it idles rough n wants to stall then in gear it dies then try n start an it backfires leave it sit for like an hour then starts fine
Hmmmm. Any check engine light or other lights? Also may be clogged cats
May be the o2 sensors mine use to do the same on the CL600 model
No cil nothing
@@zacharytodd5476 I'd suggest to get a proper scan device. Unfortunately, CEL light may not show up when a problem exists.
Ohm out the crank sensor or just replace. Just an idea to look into.
W220 are absolute shit. Well done for rescuing the W140, though.
