Classic Benzes all the way until early 2000s are the best. Respectfully, please don’t say “old” Mercedes are bad cars. I fix and restore Classic German cars. I’ll never buy a brand new car in my life and I’ll drive these amazing cars for the rest of my life. I’ve had an amazing W210 for 6 years till I sold it to my friend. That car was awesome and super smooth. Yes, I’ve put lots of love to it to make it great because it was neglected. I replaced front and rear suspension parts, did some engine gaskets, belt and belt tensioner, water pump, spark plugs, crank position sensor, trans service with filter, gasket, new trans fluid, new diff fluid, driveshaft flex discs and center support, trans mount etc. It currently has about 350k miles and hasn’t broken down for the last 100k miles that my friend has been driving it.
Also, it’s not just Mercedes that need love and care. Other makes break down too. I just recently had to replace a brake assist (acts as a main master cylinder) on a Prius. The car had no brakes whatsoever. And the part costs over $1000. Just because you think you’re gonna save money buying Prius, think twice 🤣
Anyways, if you’re interested , I make videos about Classic Mercedes and BMWs and some other cars. I love those cars to death. You should get into Classic German cars.They’re really amazing. If you’ve never driven a Mercedes W140, W124 or W126, you’re really missing out on an amazing quality that was offered back when people built normal cars
Thank you for your long post. Yes w140 was made with no cost cutting measures. They are still one of the best built machines..
200,000 miles on my 97 C230 with the 722.6 transmission and never had a problem. The key is regular maintenance like changing the trans fluid every 50,000 miles.
Got same exact one as yours and dumbass I bought it from kept topping oil so once it was home flushed it used it a couple weeks and not it’s in limp mode no reverse or drive
please in future videos skip all background music, totally annoying
Yup. I learned my lesson.
I love buying old Mercedes they are amazing for troubleshooting and learning about the older tech. Lost of space for the non AMG engines.
Yes
Why this nervous music?
i got 2 tcm check engine light is off, still won’t go past 55 help me!!!
love the soarer at start I have the 1jz twin turbo 1994 but under cover for now :(
I wish it was a soarer. It was a super clean sc400 with the 1uz. I love the rumble. Now I have a new intro with the Mercedes. Check out some of my newer videos. Thank you.
@@runningrich will do much car love from a Tasmania big arse thanx!
I just spent a reasonable amount of $ on replacement of all catalytic converters when my mechanic said the check engine light on my 2005 E350 Merc indicated it was necessary. Could the check engine light have been cleared, without coming back on again, and I could just have driven on no probs because this issue would not have affected performance?
It won't go sway if you just clear the code. But it is a part of a broader discussion.
Thank you !
really greatful for your upload daughter 320 limpin!
Thank you for your comments. Please consider subscribing to my channel. Best start with any Mercedes is to scan the codes with a high level scan tool. There are so many electrical BS. You never know what to do.
Thank you. Please subscribe to the channel.
I have a Mercedes Benz e320 2004 and I'm not sure what is wrong. When I put my car in drive it doesn't pass the first or second gear. In addition to that once i put the car on drive the gear shift won't move it anymore. Any suggestions to what the problem might be
Limp mode in second gear, have car scanned at auto parts house!
bro kill the music!
Agreed. Not really using any music on my new videos.
oh yes, it's so annoying.
Why the music
How come there is no snow in your backyard, i thought Toronto is facing severe snowfall
Hahahah. We just did. This video is old, I think it's from July or something like that.
I am just about to buy a Mercedes B150 auto 07 plate. I'm from the UK Scotland. I'm wanting to buy it for my mum. So she can take the grandkids out & have space. She is driving a Nissan Almera tino at the moment, but its ready for scrap heaven soon. As its done her well. But my question is should I take the chance or not? Thank for your time. Great video
Oh yeah. Try to get S320. That comes with coilsprings. Much more reliable than the air suspension system.
What do you think about the iCarsoft MB V2.0? I just got one to use with my 2002 s55 amg. Also, do you think it's MAF/MAP sensor related if I'm getting multiple trouble codes popping up: p2600, p2203, p2602, p2502, p2500, and p220a codes all came up benz w220 s55 amg
I have never used that software so I can't really comment. Wah, that's a lot of codes. Start with with MAF and MAP.
Guess not since you have one and still can’t seem to figure it out. I’ve looked at that one also
I brought that icarsoft thing for $150 and it advertises removing the SrS light and resetting the thing, bullcrap it wont reset the srs light if its a ring system problem, i went to 2 badass mechanic shops and nope sorry sir we don't have the Software only the dealer has it, finnally i bit the bullet and went to the dealer and they removed some SOS emergency call out for help thing from my system after i took out the Comand fuse or maybe some other fuse, but they connected the ring system back and the SRS light comes on and goes out like it should, only $234 to fix, now i got another problem, my seatbelt light wont cone on when i disconnected seatbelt.
@@runningrich i brought my yr 2000 E55 in 2005 and owned it since, i save as much money as i can with own oil changes by top suction with extractor, things go wrong with that car that my 1999 honda and 2001 maxima never have, windshield sprayers clogged or breaking, disengaging low beam and high beam wiring, door regulator failure, terrible radio, it had 35,000 when i brought it 17 years ago and now only 102,000, but i will never buy another Mercedes.
Lol. Me neither .
Did u get it working? My car has the same problem and I keep the transmission oil changed . It’s wired
It works fine. Still good.
Get rid of the background music, next time consider the viewer trying to see the scanner screen!
My 2002 C320 wagon is not getting out of first gear. I need help!
Read the code.
I have the dame problem did You fixe ir?
I have a c180 kompressor now and the gearbox goes into limp mode. It’s temperamental. I have serviced the gearbox, valve body, conductor plate. The problem is still here. I am now looking at the parking sensors for fault if they are related.
How do I know if my cars in limp mode? I have a 2000 ml430 Benz suv
How is your throttle response when you press gas?
@@runningrich feels off
Hmm.. you probably have the same issue.
get rid of the music
I replace my paddle gas fixed
Is this maxicom scan tool as good as star diagnostic??
Is that an Autel product?
So what happened? I don't see a follow up video?
It worked well.
My goes in limp mode. I turn the car off n back on and limp mode goes away. What could be the issue then? Only happens once in awhile.
Having the same problem. Did you figure it out?
@@samuli7314 no. It only happens once in awhile. At the time i made this comment, it happen alot but since then it hasn't happen again. You can try looking up how to reset the ecu. It soppuse to help with shifting and learn how u drive. It seem to help so far
My obd2 port does not work but all the fuses have power ?
That's interesting, Mercedes has another port, you will need a specific cable.
@@runningrich can you link me to it, thanks !
FCP Euro has a new pedal for 142.04
That's where I got mine. Import duties and shipping costs a lot in Canada.
Have code P0120 on my W211 E240 , changed the throttle position sensor but didn’t help. Cleared codes and codes came back im using a phone app to clear codes not a proper scan tool that you’re using.
You need a proper scan tool to see all the codes. Please subscribe.
@@runningrich lol my mechanic used his proper obd2 tablet and we found more codes like the EGR valve's P0400 code
Nice.. atleast now you know how to diagnose the issue. Please subscribe.
What was the code was it the gear shift sensor.
I can't remember. Sorry
@@runningrich it's said it on the screen
It would be really helpful if you closed the sunroof shade when videoing.
Lol. I wanted some light inside the car.
Should've used wd40 CONTACT CLEANER
It will clean all the debris and crao and drys well...
Thanks. I will do that.
I didnt have it handy at the time of repair.
Brake cleaner, its the same thing without all the silly associated cost of "contact cleaner" bull. Get the nonchlorinated stuff. Its just ether.
Thanks
So you went into limp mode because a sensor on the gas pedal ?
Yes.
Yes, accelerator positioning sensor.
Car-Addiction p0715 is the code I have on my car right now
Please subscribe, I am looking it up.
@@runningrich I have a 2004 CL500 Mercedes-Benz in limp mode can you help me fix it I have changed the vgs conductor plate and still in limp mode should I changed the valve body also?
So I just have no choice but to deal with this limp mode thing everyday.
Why?
@@dannymireles5887 for some reason I don’t get limp mode anymore. Keeping my fluid levels checked all the time and also charging my battery when it is running low has resolved the car from triggering limp mode of any form. It has also reduced the tendency of electrical parts triggering false positive codes when the voltage isn’t right.
@@NokiaHumanForm I get it here and there, I was thinking it was the conductor plate, you think since I added a sound system in the car it affects it in a bad way electrically?
They tell me to get another car but I feel I won’t get much for it so it’ll be cheaper to fix in my opinion
@@dannymireles5887 I'm having the same issue was it the conductor plate
বাংলা বলে ভালো হতো
majority of my viewers are in North America. Speaking in Bangle wont help them unfortunately. Thank you.
Glare and music spoiled your vid
I know. I have been doing better job since then.
@@runningrich : )
Bro didn't even fix anything
No more limp mode..
