A Very Rare Mercedes in Australia: 2005 A200 W169 Manual
I have acquired one of the most unusual and rarest Mercedes-Benzes ever sold in Australia, a 2005 A200 manual. Originally destined for the rental fleet, I decided it was too good so I kept it. It is also one of the most abused cars I have ever bought and it has been brought back to life after being driven to death by its previous owner.

Fiat 500 1.2 Pop Repairs- Coils and Plugs
zhlédnutí 150Před 5 měsíci
In this video I discuss the repairs needed for my 2015 Fiat 500 1.2 Pop to get it ready for its time on Uber Carshare. I did the coils and plugs on this car myself as well as the air filter. Timing belt/water pump service was completed by Zagame's in Richmond, Victoria. These coils and plug replacements are for any 500 1.2 between 2007 and 2015.

How I Have Fallen For a Faded Frog: My Renault Megane 1.9 DCi

The Megane has burrowed its way into my heart. It might have been a big project and its a Carshare car but it such a charming car to drive and has such a wonderful engine. It's really changed my view on French cars and Diesels and is such a wonderful addition the fleet, even if it needs a bit more TLC.

My mother is considering selling her 2004 manual 4cyl 5 speed BMW E46 3 series if your still in the market for one?
I want to buy a manual 2009 SX and put a pod filter on it and a doof doof in the back
In nz, I bought a manual 2008 1.4L Getz with 100000km on it with hail damage so it looks like a golf ball. cause of the hail damage I picked it up for $1250, and have done 80000km in it so far with zero big bills! been such a great reliable little car and the combination of manual and low power make it super fun around town.
What about handling I heard the worst and steering like a boat
Handling was good on our K13, there was a bit of understeer but that's expected for a front wheel drive econobox. For our car, the good handling partially had to do with the Continentals put on it. The dead rubber it was on originally really didn't help its cause, a good set of boots would really get the most out of the K13.
Nice video hope your doing well lately. have you had any updates on the diesel serena blown head gasket and the the engine manual i sent you was it any help?
I am going well, sorry for the late response, there have been some issues trying to sort out what has been going on with my rentals (more will be known after Monday). Serena engine wise is done but there are some things that need doing. Need to make more hoses. They seem to have perished. The manual was of help when we needed to strip down another SR20 to save the engine in the Serena, thanks for sending it through.
Will it do 300?
Loving my Audi A4 B8 2009 1.8 however mine is the CVT variant, I just replaced 3 door lock actuators at $50 each so not to bad if you do it yourself.
is the transmission any better when shifted to sport?
Seemed a bit more responsive in sport more to how I was driving the car.
I'm willing to pay more for something European or Japanese or Korean over buying Chinese for moral and ethical reasons. But yes I agree it is expensive for what it is and us Aussies are getting royally bent over for new car prices post Covid.
We are being properly bent over for pricing. I would buy a European, Japanese or Korean car for the same reasons, but many budget conscious buyers moving out of older, cheaper Polos are looking at price, price, price. I wonder what would happen if someone came in with a completely base car with few options and did a $14,990 driveaway price do to the others?
I agree that $30k is way too much for what it is.. and with the used alternatives out there
Outrageously expensive
No
Very helpful mate - cheers!
I got mine on my profile w202 c230,still looking fresh contacting from South Africa 🇿🇦
Dificult to move steep area goes freely in flat area
I wanted a car as good as one of my all time favourite - the classic mini minor panel van. I got me a 2001 1300 MANUAL Demio and ripped the back seats out straight away. Magnificent vehicle! Cracks 110 kph easily @ 3500 rpm. A perfect update for the 21st century and best of all - FACTORY CASSETTE/CD player. The glory of analogue sound is worth it alone. Get one if you can find one. Make sure it's a manual and you will never be sorry.
Glad to hear you love yours. I am hunting out manual Demios, specifically 2001/02 cars but nothing has come yet. 1300 or 1500 as long as the car is in reasonable condition (unlike the one I had). The auto Demio is too sluggish for me and the input shaft seal issues make doing up one not particularly viable. I can imagine with the sseats down you can get quite a lot in the back.
@@turn6garage640 Honestly haven't even bothered looking at a 1.5 because I am cheap. Mine had 160k on the clock & I had to travel 500 k's to get it, but was gobsmacked when it easily went by 125kph before I eased off - & that was with rear seats. They really are heavy! Only 2 female owners and all country miles with full service history. V.cheap 3 years ago. A long way off 200k still and only issue was an oil seal to the distributor. I got lucky with a mechanic who recognised it quickly. Good luck, there's one out there, just stop praising them. It's our secret. It also sleeps two, full length, comfortably.
Does a 03 outlander have a 4x4 button ? It says it’s 4x4 yet it seems to have no button
There is no button on an '03, it is controlled by the computer. The later generations had selectable 4X4
It is beautiful. What mpg do you get?
Here from my 2010 Kia Rio JB 1.4 petrol. Basically the same car with a ton of interchangeable parts. It's a dream to work on and service. Tons of space and simple design (no direct injection, turbos or intercoolers etc). The only real fix I've had to do is change the clutch slave cylinder due to water ingress under the rubber boot which led to pitting and pressure loss. My only personal gripe I have is the 1.4 g4ee petrol engine isn't the best motorway cruiser. 70mph is around 3200 rpm, a tad noisy.
Definitely looking at adding a JB to the Carshare fleet. Size and practicality plus they seem to be cheaper in manual guise especially than the equivalent Getz. Glad to hear you are liking yours, the Getz also cruised at 100km/h at 3000rpm and it was a bit on the noisy side. Economy was good though even with the noise.
Hi,where is the map sensor located in the 2004 getz 1.3? Thanks
Check the top of the intake manifold. On a SOHC Getz, that's where it is in the diagram. Alternatively, put your VIN into Partsouq or Catcar and the diagram will be there showing its exact location for your car as there were some minor changes mechanically between 2003-2005 model years cars and 2006-on cars (like the one in the video).
That's a pretty good review - accurate , that's important. I had a 2012 Peugeot 308 HDi (2.0L diesel). Top of the range - L/S A/wheels etc etc. Great car. I hammered it. 10 years of trouble free driving. The problems with Peugeot quality were from very late 90's into the early 2000's. Bought the car as an ex Peugeot Australia car. 7000kms on it - $12000 off new price. I took the car to specialist mechanics, both of whom told me to stay with the 2.0L diesel. The best European engine bar none. I decided to buy an SUV late last year (getting older and less agile) so I looked for a Peugeot 3008 diesel. Took me a while but I eventually found a 2022 Peugeot 3008GT HDi (2.0L) diesel - ex demo. They priced out at about $65K approx. I bought mine for $42K - 2022 was the last of the Peugeot diesels. Oh, and I got the 5 year free service and road assistance package. Only thing wrong with it was a scratch on a back wheel arch. We had never driven a Peugeot with the i-cockpit and we were stoked with it. I had read all the English and European reviews and was a bit hesitant about the small steering wheel and the cockpit type inside. It is magic. I am tall and my wife is quite short - no problems finding comfortable driving positions. I found the steering pretty responsive and my wife loves how light it is to use around town. The 2.0L diesel has plenty of power and the 8 sp. auto box is excellent (and yes I do drive it in manual - especially on windy roads). I found the ride excellent. Has Michelin types (a plus) and holds the road well for an SUV. Love the big boot (wife needs the boot size). Mine has a sunroof which I don't use. I have had no mechanical issues (and didn't expect any). I must admit I wouldn't have paid $65k NEW FOR THE CAR, BUT $42k SEEMED A GOOD DEAL TO ME. I haven't had many highway runs yet but around town I get approx 6.6-7.0L/100kms. I expect about 5-5.5L/100kms on the highway. BTW the 1.2 Puretech and the 1.6 petrol & diesel engines are a fraction underpowered. The 2.0L diesel is the way to go. I see a lot of 308's and the older 307's on the road but not many later model 3008's. I've had a few people stop me in the street to ask me about the car. I don't care about looks but everyone I meet seems to like the look of the car. 2nd BTW - Our family has had Peugeots since 1957 and we have travelled well over 10million kms in Peugeots. You can't kill them - they just keep going and most of us are very hard drivers.
Good to hear you are loving yours. There will be more Peugeot content on the channel soon. I am adding one into my Carshare fleet, a 207 1.4 16v (especially rare in Australia). Despite 15 years of abuse (this was one of the not so well made ones) and head gasket issues, it still ran although its getting a full birthday before it goes into the fleet. I need them to run long distance driven by not so careful drivers, so Peugeots are very much on my list.
They replaced my filter then this happened. 😂I fixed myself after watching your video. Thank you.
Bargain! So was it $600 with the fees? Still good buying
$623 including fees. Runs, drives, stops and the a/c works, what more can I ask for the price? Was listed with an engine light, which turned out to be the service light (4000kms overdue from the odo and sticker) and they didn't know the mileage so they sold it as mileage unknown (when all they needed to do was press the button to change info screens). Has 1 key, no books so everything to scare off the average auction buyer was there.
I have a 2006 Outlander thati bought in 2016 when my Cherokee XJ broke down and the garage thought it was terminal (cost £25 to fix when they'd figured it out 😂) £3500 and I'm driving it as my daily car. I love it and it's like new. The best accidental purchase ever !

Can you tell me the name of the tool for remove the plastic of the car?
Interesting . My daughter just brought a 2009 Getz as her first car. Last year I brought a Hyundai Venue as it’s the smallest car Hyundai offers these days.
Cool, but the ride makes too much noise. Maybe use a microphone? Because, the review is interesting.
Great video on the history of Mitsubishi especially my favourites the Magna and 380. I might be biased but a little disappointed that you never mentioned the Mongrel Magna the 2002 TJ Ralliart 😂
This sound came after the repair shop changed my filter - some of the leaves must have dropped while he did so Video was a big help🎉
I just got a C208 with less than 10,000km! I love it.
I have a 2007 at 1.4 how is this
It is pretty good but the alternator is in a cun*t of a place to get at. Body work really good I have a 2006 1.1. The only problems were some rust on the rear hatch and rear wheel arches but easily fixed. Economical and pretty nippy for a 1.1 nice car to drive. The suspension is a bit spongy. Pretty OK space inside. The dome light is a total disaster take a torch into the car if you need to see anything at night. I have become quite fond of her she is called Candy.
Anyone have a manual for the 2001 metro shades 121 ??
Did u mean n46 engine ? I thought n47 was a younger engine
I just picked up a 2000 E240. Full service history, kept immaculate. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm in love
I’ve always liked the idea of the V6 NG900. The V6 is a great engine and they are so rare now. The engines were made in Ellesmere Port in the United Kingdom not far from where I live. I’ve also got a NG900 - 2.0 Turbo and it’s a 94 which makes it like you say one of the rarest cars on the roads these days
I have one in convertible 1996 78k miles. Very well built car from what I can see.
Got 2004 today here in the US. 142,000 miles, $4,000 total.
For windows misting up try to clean or replace the pollen filter (located behind the glove compartment, take the glove compartment out, there are 2 filters slotted into the air intake right in line with the fan.) Rust? Not mine, after 17 years. Undersealing is of course a good idea now and again.
It seems like corrosion and Getzes tend to be more linked to climate having looked at more since I did the video. Wetter climates seem to be much harder on them than drier climates like in most cheaper cars.
Only if your Getz has air condition.The models without AC , don't have any filter.
@@dickesbalu Only a handful of Aussie Getzs don't have A/C and specified accordingly, it was an option only for the first 2003 model year XLs with the 1.3 SOHC engine. Majority did have air optioned on them, I am yet to find one that hasn't got air. A lot of European cars didn't have air as standard as some were especially basic and were particularly popular in Southern Europe (my relatives in Greece drive Getzs even after 16 years and many, many km).
@@turn6garage640 my Getz 1.1 has 200K km and is still going. Pretty reliable little motor.
So, my Micra had a bad clutch (84,000 km), bad lower control arms (88,000 km) and now at 90,000 km it looks like grease is leaking out of the rear bearings, so I guess I have now completed the trifecta of common problems with the K13. It is cheaper in Germany to simply buy a hydraulic press than to have a mechanic do any of this - even though as your video shows, it's a fairly straightforward job. I'm going to replace the drums and the brake components while I'm at it, so with SKF bearings it'll probably be good for the lifetime of the vehicle. I assume the front bearings will also need replacing soon, though.
I agree a BMW or Mercedes would be a lot better. I know they cost three times more but that's not the point. Thats sarcasm
I am not done with the ZB Commodore yet... I think its faults can be rectified with better quality components but watch this space.
I had a 99 plate 316i e46.....best car i ever had.
The mighty M43, one of BMW's best 4 cylinder engines. Glad you enjoyed yours so much.
Lucky me ; I have 2x Feb 1995 Saab 900s V6 like your - both run & drive ; the second one I got as a spares car. Let me know if you need a spare engine some time. Cheers
Thanks, will do. You are very lucky, the V6 900 is such a special car, glad you enjoy them.
Got a 2015 K13 with 90,000 km on it. It failed inspection due to the front control arms. I replaced them myself - parts were cheap and the job was fiddly but not hard - and it passed. Bearings fine so far. The only other mechanical problem so far has been a premature failure of the engine fan assembly. (Edit: And the clutch started to slip at 84,000 km. Got a garage to replace it for a relatively reasonable 600 euros. Forgot about it because I didn't do it myself!)
nice! I’ve owned 4 of these over the years, all with the 2.3 NA or 2.0 turbo. I’ve always wondered if the v6 versions use the same gearbox (saab f25) as the 4cyl. Or if it’s a GM box out of an Opel/vauxhall
I hope to drive a TwinAir one day.. sounds like fun
Nice ride☺😊

I can't wait for the video update on what's happing with the 1992 serena and most petrol versions for the c23 blew a head gasket due to 2 things one is a blockage that comes right after the thermostat due to normal water and Chalk build up and 2nd the rpm and horse power limiter built into the ecu to run at a lower rpm then it's other counter parts can do
