If you need to work on your suspension components but they were sprayed with fluid film or grease, simply wipe them all off, work on your suspension and reapply the products afterwards👌
That's the worst combination you can apply on your car !!!!! That grease will attract dust and sand on ...and later on that will hold water and moisture on . I just bought a w123 with the combination you just do.i would not do it ! There are better rust preventions and type of paint for it .
@@mercedesbenzw123enthusiast7 No man, you’re wrong. It means that the car that you bought already had rust and they covered it up with grease and fluid film. You must wire wheel and treat rust first. The grease and fluid film will slow down the rust but you need to fix it first. I’ve been doing this for over 2 years, don’t tell me any other way. This is the only way to preserve cars out there. I don’t care whether you agree or not. The grease and fluid film don’t hold up moisture, watch the video till the end seriously. My grandfather used to do this to his Volga back in the 70s! And his car was still like new back in the 90s! If you don’t know, don’t comment. Another example is having oil leaks under your car and you can see those spots don’t rust unlike the spots that aren’t covered in oil! I did the same to my dad’s W123 before shipping it, and that car is doing amazing and super clean underneath! I’ll make a video as soon as I see it again. Some dirt will stick to it but then it’ll fall off. Seriously watch the video fully and till the end. My rear wheel wells on 190e have been greased up for over a year and they look clean and barely any dirt is stuck to them. Showing that in the video. No hard feelings👌
God save the 190e! I've owned three. I have the last model year 1993. I'm going to pick n pull soon to get a bumper. These cars can turn inside a small radius compared to other cars. The wheels lean over...
Your metod is the best!! I live in Sweden With lots of roadsalt. I do the same with grease. I also use oil in the hide spots. When you drive gravelroads the gravel dust sticks to the grease and you have a very good protection👍 all the rubber undercoating is shit. They will just hide the rust under it and get worst.
Most old taxi drivers in Europe. And smart people. In the 70s 80s 90s. Who drove Mercedes 115W,116W,123W Would flush lower body parts through the winter with water wen the temperatures allowed +5 Celsius… and they actually pumped oil in the drain plug’s. Seal the plugs. And draw like that day or two. Until Oil is evenly distributed. Actually I will do that in my Mercedes 190D My Mercedes is 1989 and is in mint condition. 180tkm driven only long distance.
@@VITOSGARAGE I agree with you. Where is greese or oil. There is no rust. Are you aware thet German taxi drivers where protesting when the 124w chase came aut ? For lack of quality. Specially lack of rust protection. And Mercedes step up the quality of the car ? Where are you from ? I found your channel today.
The undercarriage on 190. Weakest point is. Part where the car lift should go. You will see the bubbling starts where the rubber is. Don’t wait for the rust come through the coding. Solve it immediately. And then you are carefree 10 years minimum.
Hey Vito, why don't you apply some rubberized undercoating, like the spay in bed liners, they will last longer than grease and if you prepare the surface correctly, it will last forever
Nice video hate grease but makes sense seen the link on other video you attached for rubberized under coating the truck on that video looked like they never bothered cleaning under it and just sprayed on top of rust and all over the place. your method grease seems super legit good video .
I want to clean my car there is rust on my w124 and I will grind it all and clean it after that put rust converter,epoxy primer but I dont want to put rubber thing so what can I do to cover primer and I want to put wax or other protection
Hello Sir, another nice video. May I ask regarding k jet engine. Do you have a video where you connect the sensor plate to the throttle body which is already connected to the intake manifold? I happen to be stuck on this, any technique on how to properly connects, rubber boot won't budge in. Thanks
Hi. You have to be very patient with that. Put some silicone lube on the part where the boot contacts the metal part of the throttle body. And try to work it in. You might have to use a plastic pick tool or something too. Double check to make sure the boot went all the way around without getting pinched, and then tighten the clamp
V.good. One question if you have an area that is so rusted true is it wise to cut it out and weld a piece of metal on it and then undercoat it?rather then that very good method. 😄👌👌👍👍👍
Yes, the best thing is to weld a new metal piece in, spray the primer and base coat on, let it all dry and the coat will everything with grease and fluid film
Thanks for the video Vito! I live in Michigan so this is really important for me. Would u recommend putting grease in the air dams on the hood of the r107, battery tray on w123, and the water drains?

They are very very similar, some suspension components are interchangeable. Lower ball joints are the same, for example. A lot of parts on W201 start with part numbers “124” . W201 is just a little smaller than W124, and that’s why W201 is also called a Baby Benz
Preserve classic cars. If you own one. And you want to restore it. But it sitting in your backyard over a year. You maybe don’t have time money ect… Sell it to someone who does. You will find another project. Don’t worry.

It's for protection against the rust. If they don't use salt in your area, you might be ok. However, I'd coat everything with grease and fluid film inside the trunk and under the carpets. Metal doesn't like water and if you have any water leaks in your car, grease and fluid film will protect the metal

Use grease and fluid film man. It’ll never cause rust and it’ll protect the body larts

Wow!! Thank you for sharing this good information!!! I will do this to my car!! 😊👍

Rubberized undercoating is trash and the worst thing in the world!!!!!! Never ever use that!! ruclips.net/video/nXvl9nt57Kg/видео.html&feature=share
Rubber undercoating is total garbage. Hides the rust while undercoating really rots inside out.

@@VITOSGARAGE Vito u do a lot of work it’s crazy wondering if you had any knowledge on gearbox play gmc?
there are under carriage coating that you can spray on, less messy, and cheaper
Oil, fluid film and grease are the only best rust protection. Stay away from rubberized undercoatings or whatever you’re talking about….

Hi Vito, is that the same suspension as the w124?

What’s sitting in the backyard?…

I’m sure this works great but what a nightmare when you have to service the bottom of your car…
So rusted out car is better for you than just taking some time to wipe off the grease and then reapplying it after repairs?
@@VITOSGARAGE I don't know, we don't use salt in the southeast so I guess I can't really comment. At least you are adding protection

Best is not to do 😂
You seem to be one of those that won’t do it because you don’t care. So sorry for you bud
