@@LegitStreetCars can you possibly shed some light on my situation? '00 ML55 AMG with bad driver side wheel bearing, and wallowed out upper ball joint mounting hole. Will ML320 knuckle fit? Just don't have the money to get a new one currently. Found several on eBay.... Just want to make sure of fitment before I drop the hammer and buy one.... I know that ML500 would work but not sure about the ML320.....with higher speed capability and all.
LegitStreetCars would love to see a video on common failures, things to look for and maintenance items associated with the GL series, more specifically the CDI powered variants. Very intrigued by the MB Diesel SUVs as I have owned diesels but MBs seem to be plagued with problems.
CDI engines are pretty much as reliable as it gets when it comes to mercedes. Some things you should watch out for is build up around the injectors (pretty easy to check, just pop the engine cover off), for engines in the V configuration (V6 and V8), a common failure is the balance shaft, as well as the crank position sensor. Another thing that tends to go out at around 180k miles is the water pump, as well as the glow plug relay. Again, all of the problems i've mentioned are quite minor, but things like the balance shaft could cause you to have a pretty bad day if it fails. I personally have an e320 cdi, and it's been bulletproof so far. Hope this helps!
Rewatching this one for replacing the E55K mounts and flex discs as soon as my package from FCP Euro gets here. Doing the trans flush, conductor plate and connector while I’m under it and still have ball joints and control arms to install now that it’s getting nice in Texas. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate what you do Alex, I would not even own an AMG and enjoy the rewards of keeping one in tip top condition by your own wrenches if it were not for your channel and the work you put into your content. Thank you!
Im from Germany and actually Lemförder is considered to be the best producer of aftermarket parts on the german market. This is as close as youll get to OEM quality :)
lol please dont listen to @Domnaek. hes right about the lemförder parts which really are sort of the highest quality you can buy for german cars but bosch is just terrible. there is almost no other company for sensors but please dont buy any other parts from bosch.
I've been a mechanic since 1969 and I always check Google for videos or written essays to do repairs. Haven't worked as a full time mechanic since 1989. Mostly do work on family and friends vehicles once in awhile.
The W211 E55 is hands down my favorite AMG model. After watching some of your videos I was convinced to buy one last weekend and am already in love with the car!
Favorite AMG is the CLS55 AMG W219. I just bought my first Benz it's a 04 CLK320 and love it but I do need to change out my engine mounts and transmission mount... Thanks a million for the videos you make. It makes me a lot more convenient to work on my Benz myself... Thanks again
These great videos remind me to keep leasing, no more than 36 moths, zero headaches everything covered under Factory Warrantee... 2019 E63S Favorite model...
Thanks for the video! I replaced my W211 E320 motor mounts and trans mount few months ago. The top bolts of the motor mounts were the most difficult part IMO. I removed the exhaust on the both side and used a flex head ratchet to remove the top bolts, then jacked up the motor a bit to get the clearance to replace them. The trans mount was a lot easier and the cross member does not need to be removed. Once again good job! Oh and I love the new AMG C63 Coupe!
It's day and night difference before and after the engine mount replacement. My car had serious vibration on low RPM before and it's totally quiet and smooth after. Very satisfied! BTW I used the same brand of motor mounts/trans mount.
I just bought an 05 S56 AMG so of course that's my favorite. Been having a lot of fun so far fixing things. Hasn't been bad, and a lot easier to work on than expected.
Awesome video Alex, just did my mounts on SLK 55. Also loosened the tie-bar, both mounts came out from The lower front. Did not have to remove the exhaust. The extension tool is a life saver :)
Love your videos Alex! From watching your videos I have now purchased a 2005 e55 amg! Watching your videos I feel a lot more confident owning the car and working out any problems that may come.
Magnificent video! Just what I was looking for. I've seen another video about the engine mounts, which I will be doing on the CLS55 next week, but yours is better. I'll be removing the exhaust on both the left and right to get to the mounts, but your tip about that little tool is a real life saver for someone like me. I'll be ordering one right after I finish this comment. Once again, thank you so much for these videos, giving away all this info to shmucks like me for free is incredible. Out of all the guys doing it, you're the best as of right now in my opinion. Great job!
Hey I just replaced the 2 front engine mounts with lemforder mounts the difference is just amazing ...it's like a new car. Also !!!! I figured out a way to replace both mounts without having to unbolt the exhaust, steering or the altenator! Genius move
I separated the mount from the rubber so it was smaller and I fed the mount down the front of the engine passed the air fan all the to the bottom them I pushed it to the side and into place!! Saved sooo much time. I just put the rubber on the top when it was fitted. Mercedes CLS 320 CDI.
I have an 04 e500 non4matic...I was able to replace both (one at a time) as you say, the passenger side comes right out... I was able to get the drivers side by loosening the steering rack , anytime I can avoid messing with exhaust , is a good thing....oh, and that special tool is great! thanks for that!
I have just had my Engine and Trans Mounts replaced on my 2006 E55 and, as Alex said, it has transformed it. Oh so smooth and vibration free now. Cost here, at a local Performance Shop, was just under $800 AUD ($600 US), including Labour.
I should add that the Mechanic said that the engine, with the old collapsed mounts, was sitting on the Sway Bar, so probably a good idea to check that and the bushes as well. That will be my next project.
I'm just now watching this video as a long time viewer and subscriber as I'm about to venture on a 2003 sl500 for a buddy that needs mounts as well as valve cover gaskets gonna be a great weekend now! Thanks Alex!!!
ALL TIME favorite amg is the 1997-2001 SL73 AMG V12. The R129 chassis is one of my favorites. Over 500HP in a stock road legal car in the 90's? insane.
on my 2009 S550 the only hard part was getting a t25 torx bolt out for the heatshield of the motor mount that sat on the driver side. I was able to get both out without dropping the subframe or removing the exhaust. I used a cherry picker and lifted up the engine then shifted it over. prolly put sone stress on the exhaust but i had no issues after. Now on my 2003 E320 I had to drop the subframe
A few days ago, I replaced the mounts in a friends '07 E320 Bluetec. The driver side was really easy, but the passenger side needed the air box and heat shield removed. The whole job took a little over an hour with a lift. Definitely a lot easier than the C55.
I replaced all the mounts in my 99 c43 recently because the motor looked like it was trying to punch me in the face, it was super easy, and it drives like its brand new now!
Did you replaced the o ring on the oil pump, they go bad and brittle it can destroy your engine. I'm trying to find out if that issue was corrected on the E63 w/ the 156 engine, if you know please let me know, nice video. Thanks
I so wish I had a lift like that, or could fit one in my garage. Did the same job on an 04 E320 but had to pull off both sides of the exhaust... was a huge PIA... but yeah, ever benz I've had feels like it went from old to new after new motor mounts.
AC compressor is actually EASY to remove. Just get your serpentine belt loose off the compressor... Three bolts holding on compressor and maybe two little one holding AC line/or some other hoses. The trick is get your mount off its place... let it danglebehind the compressor... get the compressor loose, get old mount out... shove new mount in and put back the compressor bolts... button up everything you did to take off compressor and continue on the mount install. I did this on W210. Passenger side on W210 is super easy... push mounts toward rear and it talls out. Shove new one in same way.
I'm doing this on my 2006 s55 amg. Mechanic quote was almost $2,000.00 before taxes. Thanks to FCP EURO, I'm doing it myself for $135.00. Yes, Mercedes can be expensive to own, but they can be just as cheap as anything else if you do the work yourself.
Favourite AMG? W203 C32 amg. Unfortunately they didnt make them for long but if you can find one, get it! Love your videos, thanks for the work involved in putting out this type of content.
Great video! That is a big job but you definitely simplified the process. Also that was a good tip using that sticky stuff to prevent the bolt from dropping
I have a 2005 Mercedes Benz CDI if they made this car in the AMG I would absolutely fall in love with it I love the w211 chassis by far my favorite I'm still learning a lot about this Mercedes from watching your videos but definitely any Mercedes-Benz AMG and the w211 chassis form would be my favorite thank you for putting all your great information out there and I love your videos
My favorite AMG is my CL55 AMG, currently working on the ABC system. Hopefully I will receive my parts from FCP soon and I will hard on it and have it back on the road again. Love your DIY videos on AMG cars. :)
My favorite AMG Cars... #1 1999 AMG CLK GTR #2 2011 SLS AMG Roadster #3 2012 AMG C63 Sedan Sorry, So many Awesome AMG Cars I had to pick 3. The 1999 AMG CLK GTR is my #1 for sure. I have fun driving these in the “Forza Mostorsports” games!
AMG Hammer FTW! Nice video, my 74k mile car developed a vibration, seems like it's the engine mounts especially since I spent the last 5k miles practicing heel and toeing an automatic (IT WORKS!).
Thanks so much for covering this! Need to replace the mounts on my 01 E320 4matic Wagon. With 220,000 miles and Pennsylvania rust, this will no doubt be a challenge to accomplish on my garage floor with the wagon on jack stands. Plan on replacing the corroded fuel line from the tank to the fuel filter as well while I'm under there. At what point do you decide a car needs to go? I get way too attached to them and continue fixing them.
I know it’s been a while since you’ve done this video, but you’re asking for our favorite AMG? Mine is the 2003 to 2006 SL55 P 30, I wish you do more videos because they’re absolutely fantastic informative and fun to watch, another thing I wish is you just mentioned in the SL amg ‘s just in passing conversation?,, Perhaps you don’t like them, they Do you have the M113K & and I know you love that engine as do many of us, Prior to working on my R 230 I always see if you’ve done a video, Examples you really help me about how easy it is to change that voltage regulator & how important & simple the maintenance on them because of the brushes, and how the alternators are basically bulletproof and last forever unless of course the bearing goes out. Once again thank you so much for the videos they’re wonderful, extremely helpful and a pleasure to watch. On reflection I do believe you mentioned one time that one day you’re going to Purchase a Sl 65 ? STEVE
One thing to note - when I did this a couple months ago, I created a hairline fracture in my left header. I imagine I tightened the flange bolts a little too tight. That was fun to replace. Careful!
Came back to this video to refresh myself before I attempt it on my 04 E55. I've been in denial about my mounts for a month but they're so bad that it's started to pull lines loose and causing vacuum leaks! Eek, I really should have replaced them a few months ago.
I was as a VW Parts Manager for many years and we called it Dumb Dumb as well. Must be a German Car Company thing. Lol Great video. By the way, the E63 is my favorite. I have a Dodge Challenger that's built off the E Class chassis sooooo......... yeah.
Awesome as usual. Not a chance in Hell I'll ever buy a Benz or volunteer to work on one BUT it makes for really good entertainment and I learn something new in the process. WIN - WIN.
Nice video Alex!! Me!! I need that tool! The mounts on my W211 E55 are worn out. I just need a quiet weekend to do the job and the right tool of course.
I have a w211 E55 and you def need this tool for motor mounts. The passenger side is easy, plenty of space for it to slide out without removing the exhaust. The driver side is a pain, the steering rack/column will be in the way. I was able to forcefully wiggle out the mount by loosening the steering rack. I prob spent 2 hours just on the driver side mount. Good Luck!
great video, learning alot, got a 04 E500, want to do just about everything on her, think the mounts are an issue as the car sat in the snow - bought it as was, shipped it to florida and the repairs began - air struts, alternator, thermostat, radiator, thinking mounts ought to be next - send me that tool
I just bought a 1987 560 SL. After looking the engine mounts along with all the other rubber items they seem to be old and cracked. which is the most important item to change first?
What do you think is the sound of ewwww ewwww every time when push throttle? I have the same sound it’s getting louder from time to time. You now what I mean ? Same noise when you have a cold start. Every m113 has this
No it’s not I plugged my pump out. You have the same noise when you push gas. It’s like somebody is screaming. It’s so ugly. I also take the belt off to check if it’s servo or clima. I hear the noise often at m113

I just bought one last week my first one ever n its my favorite too finally I couldn afford it lol
Make sure to comment your favorite AMG or Mercedes model. I'll pick a winner at random for the engine mount tool.
Pre facelift 2003 SL 500.
I used to have a 2011 e63 AMG. I love that car but wasn't very useful in Maine.

Sooo... How did it go buddy ?
Im from Germany and actually Lemförder is considered to be the best producer of aftermarket parts on the german market. This is as close as youll get to OEM quality :)
you will find in alot of cases the lemforder logo on Mercedes genuine parts, especially this era
Domnaek what about Bosch is it good?
karam129 Its also very good quality, especially for sensors and brakes
lol please dont listen to @Domnaek. hes right about the lemförder parts which really are sort of the highest quality you can buy for german cars but bosch is just terrible. there is almost no other company for sensors but please dont buy any other parts from bosch.
Mike F Well how come Bosch is the OEM for basically all ABS and ESP systems? :D
I've been a mechanic since 1969 and I always check Google for videos or written essays to do repairs. Haven't worked as a full time mechanic since 1989. Mostly do work on family and friends vehicles once in awhile.
Do you still work on Mercedes
ML 55 AMG is gonna be my next car and is by far my favourite... So classy and the only 55 you can own whilst having kids and a dog...
Your content on these cars has made me want to fetch myself an E55 AMG. The engine note is lovely and the exterior is just as much.
The W211 E55 is hands down my favorite AMG model. After watching some of your videos I was convinced to buy one last weekend and am already in love with the car!
Can't wait to do this to my daily!
It's a tad more difficult on the V12 cars but nothing you can't handle. Get the tool though.
I think Tavarish already has the tool from changing the mounts on his SL 55
What's that....someone say Tavarish is a tool?!?
That is not nice guys!!!!
@@appleaday3868 sl55 is a V8 not a V12. The V12 mounts are more difficult
Love this series man, i've had my 04 clk 500 for 8 years now still love her like day 1

So great Alex! Because of these vdos, I am now hunting for my SL55 that I have always wanted. Keep these AMG vdos flowing!

Do a pair of Eurocharged shorty headers!! Totally not because I just ordered a pair and have no idea how to install them 😅
W211 E55 my dream car, the car that got me into cars. I own a 210 E55 and would really like to get a 211 one day.
R230 SL55 AMG saw one on the norchlife on my 18th birthday and had a picture on my desk all the way through collage.
James Bambury SL55 is one of the most beautiful Mercedes ever
ALL TIME favorite amg is the 1997-2001 SL73 AMG V12. The R129 chassis is one of my favorites. Over 500HP in a stock road legal car in the 90's? insane.
on my 2009 S550 the only hard part was getting a t25 torx bolt out for the heatshield of the motor mount that sat on the driver side.

I used a cherry picker and lifted up the engine then shifted it over. prolly put sone stress on the exhaust but i had no issues after. Now on my 2003 E320 I had to drop the subframe
88 MB C300 6.0 V8 AMG HAMMER! Love that car.
My favorite has to be the CL63. The w221/C216 is my favorite attainable Mercedes, but the CL63 is just drop dead gorgeous with an incredible interior.
My favorite AMG Model? CLS63.
Absolutely. Any recommendation on the best years to get?
R65 AMG. The best soccer mom sleeper.
My favorite AMG model is the W124 300CE 6.0 Hammer! I just freaking love the bold look and the M117 engine sound
A few days ago, I replaced the mounts in a friends '07 E320 Bluetec. The driver side was really easy, but the passenger side needed the air box and heat shield removed. The whole job took a little over an hour with a lift. Definitely a lot easier than the C55.
your videos made me obsessed with the C55, bought a 2006 with 154k miles, at the shop getting sorted out. All Money Gone
I like the idea that you have a plan before you do any of your work! Great Job!
I replaced all the mounts in my 99 c43 recently because the motor looked like it was trying to punch me in the face, it was super easy, and it drives like its brand new now!

I have a silver 03 e55 too but my fave would be a E63s
Actually, my favorite model, is, the one I currently own and drive daily. It is a wonderful 1994 E320, and it's as tight and solid as a vault.
one of my favorites is the c55
Came back to this video to refresh myself before I attempt it on my 04 E55. I've been in denial about my mounts for a month but they're so bad that it's started to pull lines loose and causing vacuum leaks! Eek, I really should have replaced them a few months ago.
So far its the c55, I bought one based on your videos. I'm still looking for a e55. Could you do a video on the "add a quart of oil" message.
2006 mercedes e55 amg has to be my favorite that ive driven so far
Love all your videos man huge fan!
I was as a VW Parts Manager for many years and we called it Dumb Dumb as well. Must be a German Car Company thing. Lol Great video. By the way, the E63 is my favorite. I have a Dodge Challenger that's built off the E Class chassis sooooo......... yeah.
2005 C55 AMG of course 👍 👍
Great video!
My favorite AMG is the pre facelift W204 C63!
My favorite Amg car is E55 w211... Cars a beast !!!
Your Benz is my favorite of all time love watch. Your Benz videos over and over the best from az
Pictures and diagrams help a lot putting stuff back together.
My favourite is the clk63 black, looks so mean!
My favorite AMG model has to be my 05 E55. I honestly love the whole M113K engine but it sits the best in the E55.
Izzy rod I think you should do it if you really want an E55 I love mine. And if you’re going to sell that E500 I’m interested
Awesome as usual. Not a chance in Hell I'll ever buy a Benz or volunteer to work on one BUT it makes for really good entertainment and I learn something new in the process. WIN - WIN.
E55 my favorite, the family man attainable amg👍
my favorite AMG is s55 w220 for the raw v8 sound Naturally Aspirated and the feel
204 chassis C63. Love that car!
Watching somebody working never gets old.
Nice video Alex!! Me!! I need that tool! The mounts on my W211 E55 are worn out. I just need a quiet weekend to do the job and the right tool of course.
I have a w211 E55 and you def need this tool for motor mounts. The passenger side is easy, plenty of space for it to slide out without removing the exhaust. The driver side is a pain, the steering rack/column will be in the way. I was able to forcefully wiggle out the mount by loosening the steering rack. I prob spent 2 hours just on the driver side mount. Good Luck!
J Howard Thank you for the advice. Yes, I've read on the forums that lowering steering is the easier than removing exhaust.
Is taking the exhaust out easier than taking out the ac compressor and alternator?
Awesome repair. Thanks
great video, learning alot, got a 04 E500, want to do just about everything on her, think the mounts are an issue as the car sat in the snow - bought it as was, shipped it to florida and the repairs began - air struts, alternator, thermostat, radiator, thinking mounts ought to be next - send me that tool
I'm absolutely loving your videos, man! thanks!
Thanx for the video, on replacing engine mounts.
Just want to say I really love the content and the work that you do on these videos, man do I wish you had an early 997!
I just bought a 1987 560 SL. After looking the engine mounts along with all the other rubber items they seem to be old and cracked. which is the most important item to change first?
SL55 AMG Best looking car! EVER!
What do you think is the sound of ewwww ewwww every time when push throttle? I have the same sound it’s getting louder from time to time. You now what I mean ? Same noise when you have a cold start. Every m113 has this
The cold start noise is the secondary air injection pump.
No it’s not I plugged my pump out. You have the same noise when you push gas. It’s like somebody is screaming. It’s so ugly. I also take the belt off to check if it’s servo or clima. I hear the noise often at m113
