LegitStreetCars 70’s thunderbird, 70’s camero 60’ corvette ? Lol I honestly can think of what kind of car has that pointy of a nose unless it’s old lol
Looks like another trans am. F body.
Definitely a Miata for you and Samcrac.
whens the Tesla roof repair video coming ?
3000GT VR4
I wanna see more of the cdi. This is a much more attainable and relatable car for me and a lot of people
agreed
ya definitely
W210 606.962 would be a nice vehicle to add to the stable. They are dirt cheap nowadays. Lets see the mods
Agreed, I've had a 300SD Turbo Diesel (Best I ever had), 07 ML320 CDI, Currently own 14 E250 BlueTec and 15 VW GOLF Sportwagen TDI. Love the low end torque and mileage.
EcoBoost Taurus SHO
@9m05s: *"I hit an armadillo going 80 miles per hour..."* That's amazing. I didn't realize that armadillos could go that fast.
Hedge hogs, sure, but armadilloes? (Sonic, gotta go fast....)
Only the AMG Armadilloes will do 80 but rumors say the M Armidillo will top 100.."BAZINGA"!!!!
Love the diesel build. It's unique, and I'm a huge fan of diesel cars. Wish there were more in the US.
... but Greta!?
@@marcnobel3938 HOW DARE YOU
Whish they were less in France :D
@@jamivahaaho847 :-D
So you could die faster...!
Yes!!! The CDI is back!!! My first thought was OMG, look at those brake rotors!!!
THIS IS THE CONTENT WE WANT
Idk why people hate so much on diesel cars i really love diesel cars and im huge fan of diesel cars i love when you floor it and that feeling of torque is unbeliveable, really good feeling.
Sorry for bad English 🙂
The thing is though.. I have an 05 CDI and it is the best car I've owned in stock form. Cool to watch the build for sure, but probably the car I would have picked out of all of them that I've owned, to be the Least necessary to modify..
Jay Maserian yeah these are pretty lion hearted from the factory... good balance of durable and powerful
Finally more Mercedes content.. its always special seeing u work on old mercedes , definitely more interesting than any other manufacturers..
Hey Alex, thanks for not leaving us hanging on the CDI. How about doing the face-lift mirrors to match the E63 bumper? Your E55 could use the same.
I did the facelift mirrors on the E55. If I can find a good deal on some Obsidian black doors with the mirrors I'm all over it. I need new front doors anyway due to some rust.
@@LegitStreetCars Rust on a W211? Blasphemy! Probably better to just buy newer doors from a face-lift car in the same color. Lucky for you, the balance shaft in the face-lift V6 has sent a lot of them to an early grave, so a quick search of car-part.com, and you'll have some new doors!
What’s so special about the facelift mirrors?
FloroBeggins the evo mirrors give it a more cool look , like more new more aggressive look
That radiator came out super clean after the compressed air/vac trick! Definitely paint the inserts of the headlights black like the E55. It looks so good!!
Ohh, finally E320CDI😍 I've watched that video in a single breath. This is the best project car you have! Maybe because i have the same one 😂 Great job and keep up the great content! Best Mercedes channel !!! 🔝💯 Greetings from Bulgaria (Europe) 😊
Best car ever. I own E320 and E420 V8
Both 300 and 400hp :)
Can’t wait to see this Mercedes Diesel at the track🔥
hey guys can anyone help me i replaced the reley for my glow plugs on my w211 3.2 cdi inline but i still get a glowplug error for 15-20 min a day so my question is where is the fuse for the glowplugs because i cant find it ? thank you in advance
I'm a huge diesel fan. I've had a 300SD Turbo Diesel (Best car ever had), 07 ML320 CDI (least favorite), Currently own 14 E250 BlueTec and 15 VW GOLF Sportwagen TDI. And do most of my own work on all of them. I think that inline six you have there was a good engine. When you discuss difficult start in cold weather, if a glow plug is an issue in a CDI it should trip a check engine light, no matter what the starting conditions. In short my 07 ML 320 CDI tripped a check engine light for "Bad #4 glow plug" which after replacement turned out after further troubleshooting, it was the glow plug controller itself.
one of my favorite cars is back. Love it..... Great content as always....
Thanks Rohit!
Got a CDI 270 avantgarde from 2003 worth very little but everything works and she's a beast!
Them Inline 5's are workhorses
Ya know, I’ve glanced over your videos for a while now don’t mean it to sound harsh), but I stuck around for most of the video this time and it’s really great content. Honestly, very engaging and entertaining the whole time 👍🏼👍🏼 keep it up brotha!
Best Mercedes Diesel content right here🔥
The 400cdi pump isnt a straight fit for the 320cdi. You also have to drill and tap new holes to the cylinderhead to get it mounted. Email blacksmoke, dieselmeken or dieselpumpuk.
FCP Euro for the WIN! Also worth noting that FCP Euro do NOT sell junk brands because of their lifetime guarantee and this is one of the many reasons why I only buy my Benz and Volvo parts from FCP Euro AND if they dont have a part listed its as easy as calling them and asking that they get that part in for you, Been a happy customer for a very long time and even their international freight costs and the best value.
Another quick option for the Headlight Lenses is green cutting paste and a small 6 inch buffer on low speed, I also then wipe Autoglym resin polish on the lenses and buff it off which fills any minor crazing not buffed out AND helps to keep the lenses clean of road grime.
Works a treat and the lenses come up like brand new as Mercedes seem to use an awesome quality material on their lenses.
Hey alex! That pump is correct. The lines need heavy modifications for the pump to fit. Nobody says anything about because they expect you to know already about it. You need someone to do you those hardlines.
3rdpartyU5er bend them just heat them up
Hey Alex, Big thanks for the update. I drive my '05 W211 CDI every day and she needs the large Intercooler. Thanks again for the couplers and Intercooler dimensions. I will upgrade and send you a pic of the HYBRID CDI😁😁
I love the diesel build. Good power and good fuel economy. The ultimate package.
I’m glad I found your channel. Been binge watching your videos and I don’t regret a thing
Thanks brother and welcome!
Just a suggestion. About making two brackets to support the intercooler from the bottom side to keep the cooler from swinging back just in case you hit another armadillo again.
I liked the way you cleaned the radiator.looked good
Irongate was cold and windy today but that didn't stop anybody. It was pretty full
Hi, I think this fuel pump fits on the E320 cdi with the V6 engine. The 400 cdi is a V8, so i suppose the engine layout is similar to the 320 v6 engine. Let me know if it's correct. Thanks
Sounds like you’re vacuum is fighting for air maybe you need to clean that filter or replace it to lol ;) great videos!
Thanks for showing the CDI some love Alex. With 8 project cars, you must have some very understanding neighbors.
They are awesome, I can never move
Dude, it’s SO satisfying to watch an older car being restored to almost factory condition....wow ❤️❤️❤️❤️
For headlights, I would wrap projectors w/ 100mm LED DRL angel eye rings & maybe update lenses to facelift version for vertical lines in turn signal light
A nice piece of metal window screen in front of the radiator / condenser / intercooler cluster will keep out the debris.
The aftermarket bumper kits are typically junk. But if you can get it together, no one will know after it's painted. Regarding the fuel pump, if you can't replumb a couple of metric isobubble hard lines then maybe the project is not for you. Get the mastercool hydraulic flare kit and a good line bender and have at it.
You’re good with Mercedes I wanted to ask a question I have an e 500 4matic with the 5.0 I’m trying to find out if my fuel pump died or a crank sensor or cam sensor it Felt like it was losing power if I hit the gas why I was driving 65 on the highway the tachometer wrapped up if I hit the gas pedal down so I drove like 15 more Miles to get off the highway and when I pulled over if I revived it up it Felt like it was sputtering an Hardly running so I turned it off and it wouldn’t start back up it is just turning over
OBA on a trans! I have on board air in my jeep, not for air lockers, but for train horn set up:) Want to do the same to my c55 but not sure it suits that car haha
I use an electric garden blower with rechargeable battery after a wash. Easy and quick.
I think you should find a BMW 335d to line that up against. Would be good times 😉 I know I get a lot of weird looks driving mine around.
Armadillo story made me chuckle. So you're the guy that hits all of them cuz the only ones I see are squashed. lol
Eight cars? And sitting for months? Maybe a fleet reduction, would allow you more time/car and less aggravation, stress is no fun. Looking forward to the dyno...
Fan of diesels, own two, an ML and a Sprinter.
Hopefully, his fleet is more reliable than Hoovies.
nice work Alex! I remember when you had 26k subs thats when I began following along. You do some excellent work!
Hi, I am following this as I have a PT Cruiser with the 4 cyl OM611 crd as standard in Europe. My injectors are maxed out and I am getting 200bhp out of it. Get 250 with nitrous. Fuel is now my limiting factor. So looking forward to your pump upgrade. What's your fuel pressure? I can get 1600bar but I need more fuel flow.
Currently have a w203 C240, selling it for an E320 CDi, because of this build. Great work.
Been looking forward to more CDI updates. Love unusual projects like this. Had i not been that i live in a country which has snow half the year i would have bought one and done some of the same mods. Will most likely go for an Audi A6 Quattro instead. Have you considered buying a A6 Quattro or S6 for the channel?
Hey Tim. I haven't thought of an Audi just yet. Maybe next year?
@@LegitStreetCars Would love to see it! Audi's are so nice when they work but can be a pain to sort out. I am on my third so i know!
You must finish this project! I want to see how much power you get out of this beast
Love the videos Alex. I was wondering if you may get an M177 engined car. Your videos helped me do my own brake job on my 2015 C63 and I’d love to see you working on a similar car so I can follow a master tech!
Much love from UK
Question for you what do you think a c230k headgasket would cost to do I have a 2002 sport coupe m111 engine. It was my first car I bought knew and I dont want to get rid of it.
Maybe the pump is from another 400cdi engine, it could be from a ML400 or G400. And they are not with the same engine specs like the E400
Hey Alex, thanks for these videos! I find all your videos informative and very cool. My favorite has been the CDI. Because of this series, I plan to get one soon! Don't worry if it is taking long, all of us that are car guys that have projects know how long it takes to do it right! The key is you do it right!! So thanks for that and don't get discouraged! Keep it up and thanks for the good material!
Thanks for all the behind the scenes work it takes to source parts for these cars! Looks like my CDI will be getting a new intercooler soon! Looking forward to dyno results and MPG feedback.
After working on the Tesla and driving it, I'm surprised your not throwing rocks at these diesels.
Glad to see you working on the diesel. Have the same car here at Germany 🇩🇪. Looking for the power increase 😎😎
as an 06 sprinter owner who works on his own, these 05/06 E320 CDIs tempt me so much....
Totally enjoy the videos, been looking for a decent E320 CDI for myself but they are so hard to come by!
in eu they are extremely common s400 cdi e400 cdi e420 cdi 5 speed and 7 speed are rare and most fun dpf and egr removal and remap can do wonder mounten of torque
Questions for Everyone,
Since every pickup truck with a diesel is running a CP3 pump (I can't even find the 400 cdi pump for sale) why can't we adapt the common and cheap, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, CP3 pump to work on the Mercedes???
Also, I've seen guys add a second CP3 pump running off a pully. Does this pump need to be regulated in any way???
I know less than nothing so don't beat me up to bad........lol
The original E320 CDI pump is a variant on that CP3 pump I think. If Alex can find someone that works on these CP3 pumps I'm 99,99% certain they will be able to work on his OEM pump also.
Beautiful car she's been stuck under a tree she's even had a fight with an armadillo but she still looks amazing and you're now giving her your full attention 💪
Hi, Don't suppose you can help with a U.S. part not available in the UK? Learnt a lot from your videos, good content.
How do I clean a k&n air filter? I thought I saw you use car wash liquid and let it dry but I guess it was not this video. I have read online people recommending simple green and letting dry. What do you recommend?
FYI paint brushes are really good for cleaning stuff out of radiator fins
You should do a video testing regular Diesel vs BioDiesel!!! Ive heard many diesels actually run cleaner and better on biodiesel!!!
Total bullshit.
Alex, don't apologise for how long this build is taking. No one should apologise for taking the time they want over their own projects, unless someone else has paid for the results and a deadline has been agreed and missed.
Besides, have you seen Project Binky by BadObsessionMotorsport? You're like greased lightning compared to those guys!
I know I couldn’t be the only person. Who saw the Audi logo on that fuel pump
Eight cars? I'm overwhelmed with three.
The old injectors just need new teflon seals worth like 20$ a set. And they are good to go.
Sarcasm? You didn’t see the part where they failed the flow test. Probably failed a leakdown test as well.
I got a 2006 TDI partially because your review and build .... so I'm glad you're working on it again.
Alex can you go more in detail with the C63 and Cam Shaft wear along with lifter wear? Thanks.
Hi from Germany, i hope you're making a lot more Vids of the Om 648.
I have one and I love it
Finally! Not easy modding a diesel here in the States. Thanks for not giving up Alex.
In front of these blue boxes on the right side lies a common rail diesel pump, this black triangular thing with shiny oval passive cooler, internally called CP3.3. They are made in Bosch plant in Jihlava, Czechia, in Europe. I worked there for 10 years. I made the housing and internal part called excentric shaft.
You have definitely the wrong pump. It is a Bosch CP 3.3 too, like your replacement CP3.3, just another model. I think there're about 20 different models of CP3.3.
I like the headlights the way they are to match the wheels
love all the builds. what i love even more is the constant updates and actual work being done. keep up the great work
Surely Alex, as a Mercedes tech, you know not to jump start a W211 E-class from another car. You have a reasonable chance of killing the Rear SAM, not as bad as the W203 C-class, where it is almost guaranteed to kill the SAM every time, but still, not worth the risk
Are you going to sell the stock front and rear bumpers after you do the e63 kit if so I am I MN and could use them for my CDI
I may be wrong but the mystery car that's covered looks like its on drag radials.
Seriously Joe you'll never guess. It's the weirdest car I've ever bought for sure.
Yea i dont understand, why you got a Hyundai Sonata,
Giggity
I have w212 diesel and I’m modifying it now. I wish there is more videos about this Cdl.
Alex... Keep the Mercedes content coming. I like it the best.
That pointy nose at 14:08 - oh boy is that an SLR??
Edit: Man my hopes were high. That's a Firebird. Nice shirt.
What do you think about the OM651 4-cyl twin turbo diesel? I think it was in the E250 BlueTEC CDI?
Yay! Diesel is back! Whoop whoop!
@lagitstreetcars I remember one of your videos your e55 had a ticking that would jump from side to side. What was that, and how did you fix it? I have a clk 55 that has a tick that comes and goes. I believe from cylinder one.
Are you sure you need a bigger hpp??
I have a BMW 330d from 2003 about the same kind of engine.
I have fittet bigger injector and a hybrid turbo. From 204 to 322hp with no need for a bigger pump.
Next step is bigger intercooler, but have no plan to fit a bigger pump, the original pump can easy make 350hp.
So is a 2006-2008 CDI car reliable enough to daily drive? I know parts can cost more than American cars but I am mechanically inclined.
Finally, the reason I subscribed in the first place.
All the other content on this channel was just a bonus.
With eight cars and at least four of them parked on the street, you're going to have rent storage space or sell some of them with snow plowing season coming soon.
Cant wait until the dyno , great work man
It looks alot like Audis four rings on the badge on the pump?
car washing at home or on the street :D:D here in germany this fun can coast a lot when you was spot by the local authorities and belive me you did this never again
U makedonija Isto
Kazne frce ko lude
It looks like from rain - under gutter , from Honecker- under Merkel , I think it is DDR again.
So if I don’t know much about cars besides how to do normal maintenance. And I have 7500 to buy and repair a Mercedes. What’s a good car to target that is somewhat dependable for a $5000 ish car?
Don't paint the headlights black leave those orginal! So much better when those are clear, clean and orginal!! Love your videos! Greetings from Finland with w210 200cdi and w211 220cdi
Suomi mainittu TORILLE 😂
@@henrik-2656 On 😂🇫🇮
I think you should paint the headlights black 👍
Hit up Dieselmeken for upgrading your fuel pump and injectors, they can get the job done
The mistery car is a Firebird TransAm (KITT)?? :P
Would you keep the E320 CDI if the E400 CDI would have been sold in the US?
Could we get the part numbers for the OEM E63 parts?
so glad to see the CDI once again ˙ ͜ʟ˙
favorite car on this channel by far.
keep up the good work, alex! i'm 19, and you inspired my purchase of a 2002 lexus LS430.
couldn't have been possible if i hadn't found this channel and realized how (easy) it is to work on luxury cars.
hoping to find myself in school to be a tech soon
Can you give more info about the injector upgrade? And the pump is CP3 400cdi?
What happened to all the ceramic coating you wasted money on?
love the vids take your time with parts. do it right and show it off when the time comes enjoy a mini vacation. you could do basic videos of what you car looks like currently
please buy a w124 E300 diesel and turbo charge it and daily it. it will be the best classic car you will own
