My 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG was deemed mechanically totaled by its previous owner Hoovies Garage. The twin-turbo V12 M275 engine has a major engine oil leak that requires 50 hours of labor to repair and combined with a leaking hydraulic suspension pump and many other issues the Car Wizard quoted me $10,000 to fix most everything. In this video, I removed the gigantic engine, transmission and entire subframe with suspension and get started. This is going to be a wild ride so make sure to subscribe and hit that bell notification so you catch all the action.

What's the largest engine you've ever had in a car? This is mine for sure.
My Jeep SRT had a 6.4L V8 in it. Biggest motor I've had in any of my cars.
Mercedes E430 4.3L. but being in the uk where the average engine size is 1.8L people thought this was massive.
biggest engine I've ever driven was in a 2012 GMC Sierra with the 5.3L V8
OM606
460 V8. Old ford Truck.
V12 content is always the best content!
Still, its no BMW V12 😉👍🏻
And you have a pair of V12 BMWs (Project Karlsruhe and Project Marseille) for plenty of V12 content!
which is worse a bmw v12 or merc v12 ...or both. btw love the new m5 vid.
Love your channel too!!
guten tag Sreten, I didn't know you liked mercedes too
Wow, that’s a lot of engine. Can’t wait to see it finished
Very
wow, didn't expect to see you here!
@@uzernaim1648 always been a car guy first and tech second. 😀
That's what she said 😂
Waiting for your Apple car review 😉😏
This man is the real MVP has a family, a job films for his RUclips, and fixes his own cars plus he probably edits as well. If u need inspiration to start filming here it is. Thank you for the entertainment.
When I heard about leaving for work my jaw dropped to other floor. He is mad man.
With a lift.....
@@KeystrokeCowboy lifts are cheap. It's having a place to put the lift.
@@SimpleEnigma331 $2300 is cheap? huh....
Alex and AMGMeister are the two who inspired me to start my own channel. Family, full time job, filming and editing is so much work, but if you live it, you’ll do it.
Your daughter did such an awesome job! That was some great Daddy Daughter bonding time!
So awesome to see a chicago guy succeed on this platform!
Thanks brother!
chiraq😈
You know why I love you content?
Because you always show the important parts explain what important and keep moving and show us more than enough in a video but still keeping something for the next video.
I love your channel
Thanks Keshav!
@@LegitStreetCars
Having ur daughter in the video was over the top adorable. Reminds me of when my daughter was little and would hold the flashlight 🔦 for me as I wrenched 🔧 . I miss those days
Finally this car is in the right place with a competent mechanic. Looking forward to the coming videos 👍
"can I get down now?"
"No baby"
"Ok"
She so adorable.
My chicagoan friend you are one if not the best in The midwest !
And this is from a MB-USA 2008 certified !
This is the best build on YT right now. Love the story. Amazing content and info
Alex, fantastic content, I am retired and unhealthy so you really brighten my life.
Loved the reference to your mum and I think it is fair to say her complaints paid off because you look very organised, neat and clean. You are a credit to her.
Looking forward to more. Cheers from Australia.
This car totally represents the madness going on in the mid-00’s. Man, I miss these days.
Anyone who is in this line of work knows how intimidating and difficult these jobs can be. From one tech to another, you sir are an ace. Really enjoy your content, keep it up! God bless.
If you show up everyday to work, do your unpaid overtime hours, and put excellence into your work. Your manager can buy himself another Lamborghini.
That big of project scares the hell out of me. "Was that this bolt or that bolt.
How does that fit in? I wonder, if I could find that on a RUclips video."
Idler pulley on right cylinder has an update that requires about $500 in parts to replace. Now is the time to do it. Ask Ed Bolian ,
Can you imagine the "alternate reality" version of this video, where Hoovie decides to tackle this job? 😱
Your daughter is a better helper than any of my friends
can we just take a minute marvel at the engineers who managed to fit and make this all work starting with paper and clay
Since the introduction of AUTOCAD software, European car brands utilised the 3D Model to design the engine bay to be compact as possible therefor admitting in more parts.
The downside is once it comes to the actual physical maintenance of it, a lot of things need to be taken out. Hence why service fees in real life are so expensive, due to the labour.
yeah if you're not a mechanic, cars like this are a bitch to work on without the right tools which costs alot to obtain
@@southernautodiy2643 They are a bitch to work on even if you're a mechanic with the richt tools, i can tell you
Money pit
Or we can fantasize about these engineers chained to a rack and getting whipped for making every mechanic's life a nightmare...
Father - daughter time PRICELSS :)
Kids and dogs steel the show is the saying.
The little voice asking variations of "are you done yet?" made me smile.
My daughter has proper noise- reducing earmuffs, but they're not fuzzy. 3M, we need fuzzy Peltors!
The quality content Alex puts out is impressive.
Your helper looked so happy to be helping her dad. She's gonna remember this forever!
Yeah... Not many girls are going to be able to say they helped their dad drop a biturbo v12 amg engine in his garage. Lol
Takes a lot cojones to mess with this car. You had my attention. Now you have my respect 👍👍
No sh*t, that is such a complicated looking beast! In 50 years we’ll look back and think, “what a complex solution to move 1 human being around” lol
Upgraded turbos and exhaust this thing will hoot
Can't wait to see what this does at the drag strip. Also this thing would be a monster in the 1/2-mile.
If he could fit proper turbos and manifold in there, he would make so much more power than playing with stock housings.
Found on the forums one guy did, made 900whp and like 1200wtq and the engine wasn't running 100% or fully tuned
even stock they are monsters
@@NatoriousGamePlay key words, "and the engine wasn't running" LOL, LOL
Consider replacing the ABC line that run up front that would require dropping the subframe in the future. Keep it going, a CL55 owner, who has never had another person or shop worked on the beast, proud to have endured one of the most challenging cars to maintain, but worth it when it is all sorted....
Awesome man, as an employe of Mercedes-Benz (parts specialist) this is so cool to see!! Keep it up! And stick with the Benzes ;-)
Crazy you run a channel of this size, with a full time job!
Yea for sure I was surprised when he said that. Hes a hustler for sure. What's he do for a job?
Fleet mechanic works on all styles of vehicles/trucks
If anyone can do this, it’s you! Very excited to see this build!
I've pulled some engines and tranny's in my time, but this is a big job. Like you said, take your time and stay organized. Good luck and have fun. I'll be watching.
Rewatching the series 3 years after it has been released, loving it once again. My one of the most favorite series on the channel, loving E55 series aswell!
I just noticed that you are damn near 500K subs, congrats!!!!! 👍
Nice! The kids appreciate helping their Parents so much when we give them the opportunity. I know mine does, and it looked like your daughter also did. Great things coming for that car's life. I wonder if a limited slip is in the planning... and again, I'm so glad you're taking care of that car and keeping it alive! Take care, Alex!
you're really good about showing all the fine details it makes the videos more enjoyable to watch imo
So what’s the job? I assumed you were a full time YT guy. Much respect for balancing family, a job, and a hobby/YT
I'm a shop foreman at a large fleet garage.
@@LegitStreetCars and you work nights or somthing??
It's so satisfying working in a tidy, organized garage. Great to see the drastic improvement. I'm sure it also makes a complex tear down and reassemble like this much easier. 14:29 - 14:34 that laugh was creepy AF!
I think it's audio from the Bioshock (video game) Circus of Values vending machine.
Awe what a great helper you have there Alex. I love when my kids want to help me fix things, even when their help sometimes makes things take a little longer haha.
Your little helper is so adorable! And she looks just like you!
Your daughter absolutely crushed it? Listening skills are on point, and performed perfectly. Great job man on dad duties!!!!!
Alex I could've saved you a lot of money, and a TON of time with this little magic additive I found that stops oil leaks.
AT-205?
Haha...
Lmao
Flexseal
I’ve seen a guy on RUclips save a Land Rover with some of it... ;-)
Ohhh boy peeling the $170k onion and making a bouquet out of it. Love this build. Great content man.
Contact with what?? Vehicle frame? Oh nooo!!! Smooth drop Alex
50 hours condensed into one 30 minute video. Tackled an N63 BMW motor out of a 750LI and know the organization and memory that goes into it. Great job man
It’s just amazing to watch you do this. I wish I were that mechanically inclined. Thanks for sharing this series....I am in love with these cars and the E55 AMG series you did! Awesome Alex.
Alex's daughter is probably more helpful than Hoovie would be......
Hoovie can sell but wrenching is not his thing js
Hoovie has and can, but he is slow, doesn’t like to and isn’t knowledgeable about the scary stuff, so much like me he doesn’t like to wrench.
@@sunnohh lame
@@halogod0298 Eh, I guess he has his strengths. I definitely find Alex more entertaining though.
That's a slaming indictment!! True - but still.. Stings...
:P
“A guy named Tyler” 😂😂😂
Watching someone who was an actual Mercedes Tech tear into a beast like this is what keeps me coming back to your videos each week. I am obsessed with Mercedes AMGs, but the cost of keeping one on the road intimidates me to the point that I will just keep that obsession in the closet...lol. I can't wait to see what all else you will do with this project. Keep up the good work!
When you need a second hand and no friends around, ask the daughter. Hell yea. I can relate. LOL.
Child labor laws Alex 😂, she's very disciplined. Respect to you and the wife
The shout out to your Mom was great. Made me want to clean up my garage and organize the tools.
Big up your ident logo, takes me back to the 90's
Hats off for this effort. It’s very informative to see. Looking forward to seeing the next few episodes.
Love watching these engine outs. So cool to watch, thanks for sharing.
The most excited I’ve been for a project of yours since that E55 AMG. 👍
Hey Alex, you need to buy Hoovie's GL while you're at it. Hours and hours worth of content if you can get it before the Wizard fixes the fuel leak. :D
I loved this video. It shows the quality work a well trained and "garage smart" person can do. But enough about your wonderful daughter ...
Seriously, great vid. I used to tear down vintage motorcycles and do whatever it took to get them running again. The issues were typically minor. But getting to them, like your oil seal, was sometimes a challenge.
Thanks for sharing this journey with us. I cannot wait for the next installment.
And please tell your mother thanks for training you well. An organized work area is an efficient work area. You passing these words of wisdom down to YT viewers will make others efficient as well. 20 years from now, you will see a YT vid of a guy working on a vintage 2015 e63 AMG saying "thanks to a guy named Alex, I learned this approach about 20 years ago - on how to do this without wasting time looking for things."
One day, I want to take your mom out for a nice dinner for raising such a nice son. ;-)
Being one of those recent subs, liking the channel so far. Sometimes it makes me wish I was a mechanic, but then I remember that is really hard work so I live vicariously through you, that guy named Tyler and Wizard. Good luck with the rebuild, look forward to the upcoming vids!
You're knowledge and patience is amazing mate, well done
Awesome Dude, can't wait for the next video, i'm currently an Apprentice at Toyota learning to be a Mechanic! Great Video's as usual!
Like your approach to videos! You follow and describe the correct mantra of slowly and carefully pulling the difficult areas apart. It's very easy to snap a bolt with a impact wrench, but drilling out high tensile bolts requires cobalt drill bits! Keep it coming very enjoyable.
A horsefactory and the tightness in this car kind of reminds me the old E500 MB super tight everything..A beefy V12 biturbo power plant ❤️
That label for the tools was hilarious!
Best helper i have seen on anyones channels lol
This may be the most awesome car repair video ever made. The CL65 is a modern classic. Glad you’re saving this one! I’m looking forward to seeing more videos on this car.
Happy to see you are excited, people don’t realize how well everything is engineered on these cars and even removing engine of this size is very straight forward, without too much head scratching...looking forward for the next video
The most attention you ever give in your entire life :- Engine lowering out of the bay and putting it back in!! 👍👍 excellent content Alex!
Like always Alex great content and I like how you explain what you're doing as you go. Awesome seen your daughter helping you. Can't wait till my son gets old enough to join me in my projects. 🙂
Awesome video. So many useful little tips for when I am working on my old 6.3. Very impressive. Your helper was most impressive too. I kept on look at your hands in there! I don't know how you organise all the bits you take off on such a complex engine. On my mercedes I am careful to put each bolt or stud back in it's original location. As sometimes there are subtle differences that matter.
Great video as always, looking forward to the next part in this series! Love watching your videos man!
thats a whole lotta engine, upgraded turbos is a great addition to a super cool car. This does not look a car you can DIY in your backyard.
Italian moms' feed anyone within line of their sight and then some! Messy room or not!
You are the King, wonderful Video. I could not take my eyes off. Will keep on following.
MECHANICALLY TOTALLED is the best thing to see in an ad for a car like that. Home mechanics dream! 🤩
When your arm was under the engine bay. I was sooo worried your kid was gonna hit the OTHER button
Ok it wasn't just me!...I don't know if I trust my child with my arm 😂
Likewise
Luckily lifts have lockout jams to be lowered as well as a lowering lever, very hard to confuse, combined with a SLOW rate of drop, all in the name of safety
I think you cant lower it with just a button. It has some locks that first need to be unlocked.
its not just another button.... so no worries!
These videos are so entertaining. It's like when a new episode of my favorite tv show comes out and I have to wait a whole another week to see what happens next. I'll be waiting eagerly! Also can't wait for more Camry content!
Hi Alex, just watched your latest video, so impressed with your enthusiasm for doing this work and keeping cars like this alive and well. Can’t wait for the next few instalments, seeing this engine stripped and rebuilt to a better standard. I would assume once the car is back together it’s gonna get painted were necessary and polished and finished like the E55 Wagon which looks banging. Hoovie will wish he kept the car once he see it finished. 👍👍👍👍👍 crack on mate.
Very educational and pleasant to watch. Detailed explanation and step to step guide was good 👌😌
The most detailed videos you make. Amazing work. Love from india
I’m in northwest Indiana and had no idea we’re in Chicago. Good luck on the car trek 2 car. I thought it was the best of the three.
You, Tavarish and Saving Salvage are all in your different ways SuperStar Wrenchers! I'll never do anything more than check my tyre pressures but watching you guys is totally addictive. Amazing work!!
Love the videos. Thanks for sharing what you are doing. I love that your kid helped out too
Can't wait to see what power this puts down!
Your daughter is cute. Love seeing her involved in your project. I try to involve my daughter in the stuff I do. That is so awesome.
Man I like your videos! Your accurate, knowledgeable and your energy in your videos are accepting. I appreciate the content you upload. I've learned many things from your videos, keep giving us this good content. Thank you and God bless 🙏.
I just bought 2009 CL65 AMG off the auction, and will be pulling the engine out to do the body work. So was thinking to change all the gaskets and seals as well. Very helpful content. Thank you A lot.
I'm so happy you've finally found your dream benz.
Your daughter is adorable. "Daddy, why is the steering wheel moving?".
She’s a smart cookie who did an awesome job!
Watching with great admiration. Just bought a 600. Can pull and work on engines but this was always a bit much. Watching your attention to detail and taking the time to show us each step reduces my terror; owning one with each step you present! Thanks man!
Man this is the stuff I came here for years ago and definitely not disappointed. So glad to have witnessed the channel grow and prosper yet you stick to your humble roots. Bring on the shenanigans!
This is awesome! Thanks!
Step 1: Remove Engine (the most hated instruction EVER in any repair manual).
Love your videos where you tear things apart and better yet, find and fix a ll the issues!
You are doing great job man! I mean some people does this RUclips job but watching other people videos but you are really working hard! Great effort, I’m a CL owner too and it is great to see. Great job!!!
Hoovie will buy it back at twice the price!
Doug De Muro will reviewbomb it.
Sell it to Scotty
It would still be a great deal at 20K!
@@reginaldbowls7180 after all the work, I'd personally would never sell it. And most definitely NOT for 20K!
@@bmwm6cabrio06 I concur!
Your kiddo was a big help and reminds me of having mine help me in the garage when they were little. :)
This is so great. I had the M275 out on my SL & now I can show my better half why this cost so much. Only a man who appreciates the machine could talk to the motor like that. The good little helper paid an important part too.
Epic content
You have inspired me to work on my car more.
Thumbs up Alex, excited for the next episode.
This is the content I'm looking for!
Id rather have you do the work anyway Alex. You don't rush the job, you do it with attention to detail. I have a ton of respect for you. Much love from Colombia from an ex Illinoisan.
I love Mercedes and your channel gives me an idea of what rides I could get for myself. Can’t wait to see more work done on this car, especially the engine tear down.👍
To anyone who has ever made a RUclips video, you know it’s the filming and editing that is the real work.
That engine looks more complicated than something out of NASA.
I saw you on Tyler's channel getting this car. Thank goodness. Also, thank Tyler for the sub. I have a feeling it was that video that you got you more subs. I'm glad for that too, you are actually normal. It's a nice change from the shenanigans I normally watch on Tyler's channel.
I was eagerly awaiting this video. Great buy from Hoovie, and I will follow this project closely. Cheers!
