I have three points on my record and I was told that I cannot get insurance from anywhere if it under $1000 I want to check this app out but I’m scared because the price keeps going up first. They gave me a quote for 189 then they said final price 289 then I don’t even know what the final price is gonna be after that.

You'll be spending $3,000 to replace those turbos on the 3.5L engine every 110.000 miles. Get the 5.0L V8. The $$ you will spend on maintenance for 3.5L far exceeds what you'll save on fuel.

Just Wash Your Vehicle people A Proper Driveway Wash At Home Good Car soap .. COLD BEER / WIFE IN BIKINI/OR GIRLFRIEND MAYBE BOTH !!
Great explanation.
Beautiful car. I’ll never understand that color but each to his own.
Hey. After I did this the abs and esp are inoperable see owner's manual popped up. I switched these because I got the codes 0720 0721. Do you know what I can do? Thank you
Thanks
Thank you for this video it was extremely helpful.
Really interesting. I dont think I have the tools/confidence to do this myself, but it will give me an idea of what the garage has to do and how long it will take them in terms of labour/manhours, so still useful ! :)
Amazing review!! ❤🔥
2nd battery and 3rd relay replaced. Anyone has an idea pls? Wasting my money like hell on this problem. (All OEM).
I have a problem My gear liver to move not even when I press brake but engine running. I have abs light subbenly
Need help

Thanks a lot 😊😊😊

Thank you for explaining it to a caveman 😂
Simple the better and less unnecessary talk ..
Hi, what type of pressure washer do you use?
Dang man!! I thought of that car commercial too!!! 😂 sheesh....poop and rain..it never fails
The technicians at work ... excellent
Not sure if you mentioned how turtle wax mist smells great, can actually clean glass and it's the first product in my 15 years detailing that you don't have to worry about which interior surface you use this on.
So I have a 2014 C250 does this mean 1fuse number 15 is my left malfunction
Thanks for putting this video together. I'll be checking out that Turtle Wax cleaner now. Keep up the great work.
My mechanical key did not go in on the left hand side of the slot. I used a very smallest Allen key to push down and it worked. Very good video. 👍🏼Most of the previous ones Ive seen are not very precise and descriptive.
I just want to say thank you for this video but I notice it was posted 3years ago. I want to buy a new car and have State Farm giving me 439 while this app is giving me 128 from geico which is insanely cheap for full coverage esp comparing with my current insurance and I just wanted to be sure this is real. After 3years can you say this is real? Please reply if you can as I need this info desperately before I pay
Thank you. So simple.
Needs to be tested on a much dirtier wheel
I have a weird problem. After my FOB battery died, I used my spare FOB for a few weeks. Then I changed the battery of the other FOB after figuring out how. But now only the lock button and the trunk button are working? Both buttons just unlock the car. They do nothing else. If I click the unlock button though, nothing happens. If I click both the lock and trunk buttons and hold them down for 10 seconds or so, this locks the car... no idea what is going on with the key, but my spare key is working just fine? So I presume the issue must be with the FOB itself? Has anyone had a similar issue and how did you solve it?
Thx for teaching us ❤. My remote battery died takes with me 5 days and I change new battery why ?
Took 30 points off out 100 after you said that’s a 1/2 inch head bolt! There is no standard on a German car! That’s actually a 13mm! Meaning you don’t have that much experience working on cars! Otherwise great! Thanks
Google will tell you 13 mm is Equal to 1/2 inch smart ass. Maybe he isnt a Die Hard Gear head which is probably why he didnt say 13mm in the first place. But he wasnt wrong.
USE DAWN DISh WASHING SOAP. For CARS.

Excellent video
I had to check out if your video is legit even after a few yeas old. First thing I see wrong is if you really care about cars or maintaining it, is that you lay down the wheel on the nice side of it that if not careful will usually scratch the finish on it. So that tells me you are just making videos for contents on legit car stuff but don't really care about them.
thank you! You saved me lots of $$$ w/ this video. please keep it up and God Bless.
what pressure washer are you using?
Seems like the Waitley adapter might be a little more versatile since it'll work with more batteries like the Milwaukee and DeWalt flex volt. The USB port seems a little gimmicky but some might find it useful. I saw a youtube video where some guy took those tabs off the adapter, then he could use the flex bolt batteries. The thing I wonder about with either of them is I've heard that they might ruin your 20v batteries. That's just what I've heard. Maybe if you don't take the batteries off the adapter when you're done using it they say the adapter will probably discharge the battery. These look pretty interesting since i have a bunch of 18v tools and my lithium ion batteries i got for them years ago don't seem to have much run time any more. Might try one of these things.
Well this is not a true test because you're not using like a truck rim that's been on and off dirt for a while but and also you spend a but you are so that's kind of annoying
I’ve heard just a degreaser mixed with dawn dish soap will work just as good, followed by a protectant!!! Not sure if that’s true or not, but I would like your thoughts on that.
I'm agree, I got a beautiful Mercedes.It's a Head. Turner, but suspension problems.And all this codes that show when you nevei'm expected.One week is no co Code next week is I know the code show off.I will never buy another one
Conventional banks will not accept a loan on a car this old and a first-time buyer without any credit history. The only lenders available will charge a super high rate of interest. In addition, at least some of them will require gap insurance and an extended warranty as a condition of granting the loan. They also require LoJack, so the car is easy to repo when the customer fails to make payments. From the lender's point of view, these loans are exceptionally risky, so anything that reduces the risk to them would be necessary to make the numbers work.
Merci boucoup
so will these work when bugs have been stuck on for years...the car has been through many many car washes but there are some bugs that are seriously stuck....maybe stained? idk also what was that about the clay cloth? what is that and why do you do it? thanks so much
Bedankt
Changed sensor on my 09 and it misfires terrible driving then when the abs esp light comes on it drives almost normal no misfire why does it drive worse with no lights on
This is so weird, as my 20yo "California Water Blade" looks EXACTLY like this WeatherTech blade, but my handle is black. Is there some sort of glitch in the matrix, or a buyout, or something?
Excellent video! Very comprehensive and I'm so grateful for the section about the Waitley being compatible with the Milwaukee batteries. That just solved my whole issue, and the Waitley is $12.58 on Amazon today. Thanks so much!!
