It's probably the best Merc ever built, The W204, the OM642 V6, The 722.6 trans. Glowplugs: thighten slightly first, then "left/right" and they will come out, remember to replace the glowplug controller also.
@@bestysbits2071 Well, I had one in a Chrysler 300C Touring, I did a piggybag ECM from Brabus. Works fantastic. Ensure that the turboinlet rubber seal are 110% tight.. Otherwise it will leak oil on top of the swirlmotor that works the intake flapper Doors... This part has been upgraded a couple of times, get the latest iteration, it will save a lot of work later...
@janfswedane my w204 has a 7g tronic gearbox...722.9... from what I know the w203 with om642 had as well the 7gtronic. There might be versions with 5g tronic but I haven't seen any. Meaning there might have been short production series with om642 and 5gtronic gearboxes.
Just looked at mot history and it failed last year on a fuel leak around the filter god knows how they got it through especially when they knew where the problem was 😂😂
Great job, best one yet 👌
always enjoy these types of videos so definetly post more of them, earned a sub

Thanks buddy, have you had a remap on one of these engines? I’d bet they make good power

Always wash top to bottom! Never wash the way he did, wheels then body. You'll have a load of swirly scratches all over your bodywork.
Would u copaslip the glow plug thread??
Your video on this car was excellent, just wish it was a bit more detailed and longer.
Thanks for the feed back yeah definitely need to explain it abit better and show the repairs as I’m doing it also
Can you say what the mileage was please.
145k

I think the mechanics that repaired it cut the end of the hose off and put the original clips back on curing the issue until it split again
your insurance might be more than the cars worth, lol
Was this on ebay by any chance?
Yes it was 😎
@@bestysbits2071 great buy 🕺👌
Brilliant 😉
Cheers john u got the mx5 still?
In germany or austria you would at least got around 5k for this car.
Maybe the man that first used the flour method of finding a cars wet patch also had a fat girlfriend...!?
I’d have done the glowplug first lol
How much again did you say you sold it for!🤣
Too cheap 😂
