bro!! you guys weren't kidding about your crazy drive from Canada to California! you guys are freaking hard core! also, thanks for letting me drive the E55 ASL! what an awesome machine! I hope that I can tell everyone here how crazy this car is when you see it in person, and even how it drives! I am speechless. the car is like a big Go-Kart with serious TORQUE!. driving it around the pits at Buttonwillow Raceway during the Global Time Attack Finals was pretty rad. it definitely broke a lot of necks, even Jackie Ding looked at it like WTF is that thing! lol. anyway, can't wait to see you guys again. hopefully will have the time to go down to Laguna Seca. I'll see if Adam Swan can go there and help you get an idea around Laguna Seca, since he knows that track pretty well. you guys take care!
maybe nopt a bad idea .. your uncomplicated race car is free of all of the MUST HAVE add ons like computer telling you you cannot drive anymore .. A real nightmare .
Richard Wallinger Yes, the more features the more things can break. 50 years ago there were much less aircon breakdowns. And no EGR valves that failed. Service intervals were a lot shorter too though. I remember that when I was a kid (yes 50 years ago), there were more cars that needed roadside assistance while there were much fewer cars. Or maybe it’s just my memory.
The R-class tongue weight is only 600 some odd pounds. You started blowing fuses cause the compressor was exceeding duty cycle and pulling more wattage trying to force air into the bags cause the rear hadn't hit the right ride height despite hitting the normal pressure to do so. You exceeded the tongue weight. Cold air is hard to push, so you were blowing more fuses up north than you did down south. once you got into warmer weather the pump could push the air just enough to get the vehicle to proper ride level. The wheel speed sensor is probably caused by snow. The sensor works but is giving an odd reading (likely that the wheel is moving faster than it is), and this results in the ABS trying to apply the brakes to it to slow it down since the computer thinks the wheel is slipping when its not. The result is a hard dive in the front end and likely a pull towards the side with the bad sensor. It's likely caked in salt. Salt is an electrolyte and thus salt with a little water will provide an electric signal to the sensor. a bit of wire brushing will likely bring it back to life.
He has a leak in the system, causing excessive runtime in the pump and it will time out and go into overheat protect. After 20 min and a key cycle it will run the pump again.
somedude leak doesn’t explain why it works for a day and a half just after he moves to warmer climates. He’s got too much weight on the tongue causing stress on the pump. The system is sealed just fine.
If that car has anywhere near 600lb on the tongue you could knock me down with a feather. It's most likely a combination of a leak and frozen conditions stopping the pump drawing air in to pump up the bags.
When you load the car up next time, only pull it ahead until the front of the trailer can’t be lifted. Probably about a foot back from where you had it. That will take a lot of weight off the bags
Fairly dangerous to do, the trailer will lift the tow car when it goes through a bump, you absolutely have to keep some reasonable weight on the hitch or there are going to be "need new pants" situation down the road. Next time, he should ditch the Benz and get a vehicle more suited to towing. A reasonable truck shouldn't be too hard to come by even in Canaderp ;-)
No no no. Towing 101, keep your weight as far forward as possible. The trailer will be unstable if you don't. I'd rather not see the car plastered all over the highway. Keep as much weight at the front as you can. ruclips.net/video/6mW_gzdh6to/видео.html
to an extent yes. But as long as the tongue is heavier than the back it will be stable. If he made it weigh roughly 400lbs at the tongue rather than 800-1000, it will still be safe and just as stable
@@nebtorHD correct. Quebec wants to leave canada and has been trying to for a long time. They even voted once but lost by 1%. were happy to say bye any time tho hahaha.. Im in western Canada were trying to separate now as well.
okc 306 toronto Proud! That orange was way too hard to peel apart into pieces so I ate it like an Apple! Might keep eating them like that though from now on...
I think you're incredibly brave to go that far for a few track days given all the things that could go wrong. Still, it turned out to be an interesting adventure. I really admire your skills and enthusiasm.
and this is why you volvo, we've taken our volvo diesels from sweden to italy and driven from stockholm to the north countless times in snow, rain and ice with and without a trailer (caravan and snowmobile)
Awesome! What an awesome time attack BEAST!!! The AMG M113K engine sounds amazing! So glad to see you two made it to California in one piece. GoPro footage please at Willow Springs. This has been the best RUclips channel follow in my book of the year!
You drove right by my house/shop in grand island when you passed through Niagara Falls going through to buffalo! If you get stranded on the way back through buffalo hit me up. Hopefully you have uneventful travels back home. LOVE the project
Would be great to see this build get enough traction that you can exhibit it at sema in 2020 been waiting for the videos since the first one and they are always excellent. Well done
Good progress on the ASL, it looks as though all that is really left is the remaining outer body panels. I bet you'll have fun getting some testing done at those tracks. Good luck. I suspect there is probably a software update that will address the Navi temp issue. A leaking airbag can cause that fuse to blow, as excessive running will cause the wiring to get hot and blow that fuse. The pump probably hit an internal timer during driving, and then the leak caused the car to drop. After stopping, you cycled the key, and that probably reset the timer. So after it began working again. You should get it checked. On some models, there is also a wiring harness update for the airmatic system, the fuse will get replaced, along with a new relay for the system.
You let a diesel car run out of fuel ONCE in your life, then on pain of death, you NEVER let it happen again!! Once misjudged fuel level in my old Audi A6 3.0TDi Quattro and it ran out. Not only drained the car battery itself trying to crank it, but probably burned half a tank of fuel from my girlfriends Mini Cooper running it trying to get enough juice back in to it again! You can prime it via VAG-COM or a good scanner (which I have now) - but never going to take that risk again!
You guys are absolute troopers. I would have called it a day after seeing the snow. As if the battery was bad then the suspension and then the esp, But wait, THERES MORE!
Great road trip, worth it to drive the ASL On the R-type check the dryer on the air compressor most likely blocked need to change or replace desiccant, have fun!!
Should have come to Florida. You could have been tearing up sebring all day .plus lots of other tracks .oh and its 72 degrees here .lol . Love the build .keep up the good work .love the videos.
Dude.. Laguna Seca is 40 minutes way from where I'm at (Gilroy).. Dang.. you drove hella far.. hope you enjoy the weather.. to bad i can't come check out the car.. enjoy California!!!
Mercedes-Benz air suspension is a freaking nightmare bro! Specially if the vehicle is in the cold winter environment. Can’t wait to see you put the body on this beast of yours bro

I've driven some fast and sticky cars at Willow Springs... you will enjoy this track once you have a few laps under your belt. It may not be the best place for initial suspension setup, and is certainly a different base setup than Leguna Seca. Enjoy California and it's wonderful weather. I'm watching!
Btw, videos are getting better as time goes on. Your on screen persona is developing well and you're seeming way more natural. Hopefully channel will explode for you soon. Then I won't sit through all those painful ads so you get an extra .08 cents ad revenue!
Diesel is different but it can be simpler. Get an om606 powered s124 and itll never break down on you, no computer if you dont want. Aldo to help prevent draining battery, a hand operated inline fuel pump is a solid addition
This video summerizes my whole personal experience with Air suspensions both on a Mercedes and on a Citroen. Great video and awesome to see the ASL in a different setting.
@@Conservator. The one i owned, had at the back only pneumatic suspensions and the system was shit. Compressor failed multiple times, the bags blew so many times, the ride-height sensors were sensible to moisture, causing the whole system to stop working.

Thats like the usual amount of headache an Airmatic Benz gives you. Try to maintain the system next round so it wont collect moisture inside the system and kill it.
never crank empty diesel fuel system, you will brake your fuel pump. As your pump is lubricated by diesel, and if there is no diesel there is no lubrication. RIP pump :D
@@GregoryVeizades not really :) it still mechanical pump. instead of mechanical injection pump assembly who feeds individuality different injector, you have one pump one tube witch feeds all injectors with same pressure, thus its called common rail. Only injector himself regulates how long it will be opened. I own a diesel with common rail and when i change fuel filter i always prime my system, else you can crank till the cows come home, and you will f.. your pump. Ask me how i know ;)

When your race car is more reliable than your road car
When your occasional car get more care than your daily driven car 😂
it's an mercedes with an air suspension, lmao what do you expect
Well kids, now you learned your first lesson: if something electrical doesn't work, first thing to do is to check fuses=)
For the way back to Canada I suggest to put the R-Class on the trailer and pull it with the ASL.
Exactly my thought. Just weld a towbar on the AS, put the R on the trailer and enjoy the trip.

@@mizinoinovermyhead.7523
@@Sev_Auk I strongly second that. Moisture in air suspension system and the first cold days of winter. Maybee a leak, too, but not necessarily.
If that car has anywhere near 600lb on the tongue you could knock me down with a feather.
It's most likely a combination of a leak and frozen conditions stopping the pump drawing air in to pump up the bags.

Just needs a 100+ pounds on the tongue that’s it.
Air suspension is a pain in the rear end! I had enough headache until switch to coil springs.
Seems the mercedes and range rover are quite problematic. I had a 5 series touring with 170k miles, never had problems

BMW is more into drivetrain problems.

never crank empty diesel fuel system, you will brake your fuel pump. As your pump is lubricated by diesel, and if there is no diesel there is no lubrication. RIP pump :D

we need a snow drifting video surely
With no Profile what so ever? I guess He would need better tires
*in an R class
So did you take it down just to race?
the compressor needs to be replaced. when the system leaks for long periods the pump wears out. you should have pump overheat codes lol
45 hours without snow. Have you seen me drive in the snow? That shaves 9 hours off the trip!
