If the temp gauge is accurate its running a little on the cool side - maybe somebody took the thermostat out ? Anyway, you might improve the MPG a little if you could bring it up to 80 or so.
Yeah, that temp reading is too low. Definitely an open/missing thermostat. My W204 C200 was exactly the same. A brand new thermostat fixed the problem.
Love these road trip videos, you and Randy have so much fun, it’s brilliant. Fantastic job getting the gauges working again. You should do a detailing video on that car, I think the interior would come up like new with a bit of time spent on it
When AAR is around you his personality is totally different than when he is on his own on his channel. Shame he ain't like this all the time, as this is probably closer to his real personality which comes across much more humble and likable. Plus you are a very nice human being, and he probably feels relaxed around you, as when people start get successful then people tend to want to be your friend for the wrong reasons.
She made it as predicted!!! These older Benzes were better built than they are today. I'd take any of the 80's-90's Benzes any day of the week over the new ones. Plus, the styling is timeless!!
Talking MB, I just bought a 06 E320 CDI with 175k. Amazingly, I got 45.3 MPG driving it 300 miles home at 75 MPH. The CDI turbo-diesel has unreal torque with the awesome mileage! Highly recommended even though my old 300D and 300SD are still my favorites! My 06 color appears the same as yours (smoke silver/code 702)!
Mike you are a diehard supporter of Mercedes Benz but you are a good friend to the end and you are a good example of true friendship between you and Randy both of you have each other’s back in the end
Easy peasy this one, with a new air filter and premium fuel 30 mpg are possible. Please use 'Diese' for a hypermiling video, it's super comfortable and 40mpgs are doable. 😁😁
Randy & Mike that is a awesome car to have along with the 190e that has been missing with the update on it. 🚘🚘🚘🚘 Put some degreaser on the benz rims and fix that turn signal and Clay bar that car it's a keeper mike
The little Benz is going home with a 28 mpg, despite its age, MWM it's considered good enough....life goes on and the hair do is like a punk rocker...hilarious....Good vblog...regards from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 🇲🇾 ❤️ 😀
Great four banger. You should keep this Mercedes and sell your other Benzes. I love the way the enginebay looks. Servicing that benz will be a pleasant experience. Could you update the name of the video with the exact make Mercedes? For people searching for experiences with cars.
Man that cassette converter thing brings back memories. My very first car 2000 dodge stratus had that. And I want to say when I got rid of it I got rid of that converter
Very nice mercedes. My daughter just got her license and has been driving my s320 but complains it's too big so one like this would be nice to find for her
Clean her up and give her a little bit of window tint. I'm not a big Benz fan. But she's nice. OH, you can also get bluetooth tape adapters now a days. No more wire hanging out.
Love that Benz, looks so elegant and classy in that colour with the chrome elegance trim and polished alloys. These w202s inspire confidence with their reliability, competence and efficiency which borders on the boring but makes for a serious long distance mile muncher. Cheap at twice the price I'd say. 4 days without a shower, thank goodness it's not smell'o'vision! 😋
The Benz has a Seabrook Island Property Owners Association gate pass. That’s just down the road from me, higher-end gated community. So Im thinking someone who is not among the 95% owned it.
Y’all need at least a ring camera or something in that neighborhood. I know because I live less than a mile away. 12 points is meth-central. I’ve walked out to people pulling door handles trying to get into cars.
I like your channel but i don't like music playing while you talking. Keep up the good work with randy. I like the videos of yall at his uncle's house.
In my old Ranger, when my brake light went out, the truck wouldn't go into gear. It's like..uhhh hey Ford, how am I supposed to get the replacement light? Idiots.

You're a great friend Mike. Randy's lucky to have you as a friend. And you're lucky to have Randy as a friend.
Very very true. Good friends are rare to find these days!
Amen. Wish we were neighbors.
@@MonkeyWrenchMike do you send giveaways or it's a scam ? Because it's on your latest videos recently. Just want to make sure
The thermostat is probably stuck open. Once you replace it and it gets to around 80ºC the mpg will be better.
Hey buddy glad y'all made it see y'all soon

waaay too cold..
should be 85 to 92°C (at least it was either 87 or 92, depending on the thermostat back then in my W210 Diesel)

Glad you guys made it home safely with the cars
The Benz. Is a win for Randy. Hope he is able to make a profit (for a change)on the resale. Love the new hairdo 😮.
Mike got beat at his own Mercedes game. Randy scored a good one with no real issues. 👍
She made it as predicted!!! These older Benzes were better built than they are today. I'd take any of the 80's-90's Benzes any day of the week over the new ones. Plus, the styling is timeless!!
She is running really cool to be on the road

I can’t wait to see this car all cleaned up! Especially the rims ❤
Glad she made it and thanks for taking us along on the journey take care
Hope you’re having a good weekend Mike! Thanks for the video.
These road trip videos are gold! Always like them!
Mike you are a diehard supporter of Mercedes Benz but you are a good friend to the end and you are a good example of true friendship between you and Randy both of you have each other’s back in the end
Great! Thanks for the trip!
Mike pretty good fuel mileage on the Mercedes. And a fuse pre-tel . Figured you would have known that. But all interesting. Thanks for sharing!
You and Randy together are very entertaining and funny.Your videos make my day!
I love that you’d your own POV! Great video Mike we always! Keep it up!
Good title 👍. Mike you should have titles like these in future videos to help you get more views.
The Benz seems to be doing better than the mustang on this trip. And it cost thousands less. Imagine that.
I love when you two do road trips. Love the new hair style Mike 😁.I love you two . God bless y'all.
Glad you both made it home safely. Did you notice the almost identical Mustang parked behind Randy at the gas station?
Hey Mike, looks like that little benz it’s a sweet little car! i’ll bet it could’ve gone twice that far! I like to see Randy give it to you!
I enjoy watching the 2 of you, you play off each other well. Great video.
My grandma has one of these, sadly, no heated seats.
Thanks for the video, Mike.
Easy peasy this one, with a new air filter and premium fuel 30 mpg are possible.

I never thought I would say this but Mikey needs that Mercedes
I didn't figure that little car would give any issues. It is in good shape for the age!
Randy & Mike that is a awesome car to have along with the 190e that has been missing with the update on it. 🚘🚘🚘🚘 Put some degreaser on the benz rims and fix that turn signal and Clay bar that car it's a keeper mike
Mike and Randy!!!! Great content!!!!
i like this car..... what are your plans with it.
Great roadtrip video like always!!!🤠

Did you check the arm rest in the back seat ?
Love the car mike thanks for the video.
Use some rust converter on that rust.
Great four banger. You should keep this Mercedes and sell your other Benzes.

Your engine temp is far too low, check the thermostat.
Have a safe drive back my best friend.
Love the videos with you all
This trip was the most brutal yet! Will we make it???
Lol always check the small things a fuse will cause All kinda of problems
No problem on the trip with the Mercedes Benz...I hope.
Very nice mercedes. My daughter just got her license and has been driving my s320 but complains it's too big so one like this would be nice to find for her
Nice video Mike
I used to be a Mercedes tech years back and drove one of euro spec baby Benz with a manual. It was fantastic
♡ Your trip in cheap Benz! Watching "Tulsa King" on Paramount...give us a tour! Thought Mayo Hotel was fake! OKC & Tulsa, right? 😁
Yup!
in my country the m111 engine was named the 1 million mile engine very very reliable engines
Temp on c230 or any Benz should be below 80c , car is running too cool , suspecting a bad temp sensor and thermostat,it would have gotten above 30mpg
Nice Baby Benz, you'll need to change the thermostat. Engine is barely 60c/140f, you'll improve gas mileage when get engine on operating temperature.
Clean her up and give her a little bit of window tint. I'm not a big Benz fan. But she's nice. OH, you can also get bluetooth tape adapters now a days. No more wire hanging out.
Mike you good job on everything I tell you about your.
Great roadtrip video guys😎🔥👌
I know the mercedes makes the trip, great car👏
I love that Benz!!

Money Wrench Mercedes Mike makes many miles. Mainly more than Mustangs!
I love an adventure video. I'm sending a new series format!!!
I am sure Randy has had that Jacket since the Uber man days.
Love your content Mike
Nice horns Mike are you feeling a little devilish 😄
Dude I love my 1998 c230. It was the best car ever. But I bought it from original owners that babied it
It's nice to see you here Joe! Peace ✌️😁
She is running cold Mike
Lov3 this car, my is called Pearl but it rusty need some love 😄
Still most realieble car I ever know
Mike your a good friend😎
When you're done with it I may want to buy that benz I have an slk, almost same engine.
Just got new job, could give you $2000
On your hoodies you should also put logo on the back instead of it being plain just my thought I want one but want logo on the back to
From 11.30 to 12.00 = hilarious! Hahaha
I love those trip videos
Good morning everyone
The " poor man's Bluetooth " , own one of those, too ( radio shack brand in fact )
Nice Baby Benz, Mikey likey 😎🤔👍
I would like to have a huddy. But I don't do things online. Old school way is the way for me Mike. Please let me know.
@MonkeyWrenchMike , I love your Mercedes C Class W202 . I have had 2 of them & i would have another
Scored another nice Benz! A fuse is one of the cheapest fixes Mike Has had on a Benz.....
I'd blame the guy that did the rear suspension, lol
Always make sure your nuts are tight!
I never doubt that she makes it! Myself I'm suspicious because I'm addicted to Mercedes... 🤬😅😂👌Cheers! ✌️🇵🇹🇲🇿😎
Are you gonna get the benz from him!
You guys should really use some walkie-talkies for those long trips.
It's running cold though..
How old is that young boy now who repeats what you tell him at the intro ?
Thinking Betty Benz needs a new stat. A weak point in that era of Benz.
A new stat even more MPG
She made it 700 cold 🥶 miles 🙂
The Benz has a Seabrook Island Property Owners Association gate pass. That’s just down the road from me, higher-end gated community. So Im thinking someone who is not among the 95% owned it.
Betty Benz is a Nice Car 👍
You guys need walkie-talk while doing these trips.
No music please
Why the music in the background kinda kills the video
i want this car
Y’all need at least a ring camera or something in that neighborhood. I know because I live less than a mile away. 12 points is meth-central. I’ve walked out to people pulling door handles trying to get into cars.
That gas station name tho 😂
700 miles, 4 days?
I like your channel but i don't like music playing while you talking. Keep up the good work with randy. I like the videos of yall at his uncle's house.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That's a Benz you should keep instead of flipping
In my old Ranger, when my brake light went out, the truck wouldn't go into gear. It's like..uhhh hey Ford, how am I supposed to get the replacement light? Idiots.
