Video

Thank you so much for your comment. It’s actually Jose. I would like to see that video. Please send it to me. It is not necessary to do the indexing as long as you used the correct plugs. I did my plugs almost 1 year and a half ago and the car runs like a champ.

Thank you so much for your comment. It definitely is the best way.

Thank you so much for your comment. There are many fun things about the W222s. Cheers from NJ

Thank you so much for your comment. There is no difference in sound. This is purely looks.

I appreciate that. All position sensors were replaced on the video

Hey. I never tried Redline. I rather stick to what the manufacturers recommend. As you can see in the report, I am doing pretty well with Mobil 1 5w40, which is the Mercedes recommendation for this car. Keep in mind that this recommendation is also by location/temperature. If you get a car that was originally sold in a very cold place, the recommendation on the cars manual may be different. I’m in NJ and my car was originally sold in NJ. It gets cold here, but not that cold. My cold startups are inside the garage as well so I don’t have the need for a thin oil like 0w40. Also don’t need to spend the extra money on super oils if the one the manufacturer recommends is working perfectly. As long as you do your oil changes often you won’t have a problem using a regular oil.

@@josecitomarin Makes sense. Thanks for another great video!

@@NickeryNelson I appreciate that

Thank you so much for your comment. No need to put it in neutral

@@josecitomarin Thanks for the fast reply! What position did you set for filling? Also can I have the link to the obd2 scanner that you're using.

@@duynguyen-vz2uu the position to fill is one. Check out the description Big scanner: www.icarsoft.com/Product/s-401-icarsoft_cr_ultra.html Small scanner: a.co/d/hwlIiMs

Thank you so much for your comment. On the m157 it will definitely work. You would have to doble check with your vin number on the cls and see if the pump is the same part number. You can check with FCPeuro

Thank you so much for your comment. Can’t exactly remember what I did on that day but if you move it counterclockwise will be ok, it’s only until you get that bolt to where you have access to it. Go very slowly so you don’t miss it

Thank you so much for your comment. If you read on the previous comments you will actually see my thoughts on the same video

Thank you so much for your comment. The jumper box was on. If you are doing it with a car. Both cars have to be off, because the battery is already giving you the power needed. But you have to make sure you don’t short anything because you’ll have problems with both cars. If you can just get a jumper box. They have some smaller ones that are very good and you can keep it in the car

@@josecitomarin Thank you for replying back to my comment I will be changing my battery out Saturday

@@pladoehbeatz2946 no problem. Let me know how it goes.

Thank you so much for your comment. Add the same amount of oil you take out and then adjust as needed. The amount of oil will also depend on whether you do the torque converter or not. Yes you can use liquid moly. That one is for 9gtrinics

One last question: Did you add 10 liters at once before starting the car?

@@Lesnafe no I did not

Not everything in the video is clear like a motorcycle and how to fill it up.

Thank you so much for your comment. It is always hard to read the level. I wait a few minutes with the car turned off after the car has been running. Then I take many readings before I come to a conclusion. But I never, ever, fill up to the max. I always keep in between. It better to have a little less then a little too much

Thank you so much for your comment

The hose is 11/32” and the fitting is 3/8” ID. It would be better to do this service right before you have to change your oil. If you look at the collaboration video I made with The Oil Geek, you’ll see how my oil had a little low viscosity and it’s probably because of it. So, I would say do this process, drive a few miles and change your oil.

Yes, thanks for the response. I was thinking that would be a good idea to change the oil too 👍🏽

@@NickeryNelson anytime

Thank you so much. Glad to help

Thank you so much for your comment. Glad it helped you

Thank you so much

Thank you so much for your comment. I certainly hope so.

No problem. Yes, with the first method you would clean the lines and the turbos as well

@@josecitomarin I ordered an intake manifold and intercooler from a very low mileage S550 of the same year. I am going to attempt and replace mine in the future with this “new” one (as soon as this Texas heat eases up). I removed the intake temp sensor off the “new” one to see its condition after only 30K miles of use and to my surprise it was covered in a sticky oily residue (the rest of the intake was clean). I’m thinking the idle issue I’m having with mine is possibly due to that same reason. I’ll let you know how it goes once I replace it. Thanks again Jose

@@rickscars7395 no problem. Please keep me posted

Thank you very much. I did this recently to my gls 63amg and was a bit scared, but I saw your previous video, only difference I used berrymans, ty.

@@TheNecromancer21 great. I’m glad my video helped you.

No problem

Con todo gusto

Thank you so much for your comment. You only have 1 reservoir I believe. But procedures are about the same if you had to replace the coolant. Bleed the lines and vacuum fill

@josecitomarin Thank you! Your channel is amazing.

@@tlknight4 I appreciate that

Thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate your input on this. You are correct, the best way to clean the valves is taking the intake out. I may work on it one of this days. I just have another video I have to upload on spraying the valves then ill probably work on removing it to see how we are doing.

Thank you so much for your comment. Yes they do.

@@josecitomarin Many thanks for your quick response , I’ve ordered them yesterday from the link you provided under the video (zzperformance)👍

@@v0ss3n No problem. The other wires you have to order are from the dealer. One set is for the position sensors and the other is for the camshaft solenoids

@@josecitomarin yea, I’ve watched the other video, ordered from FCPEuro in USA, should receive them this Friday to Switzerland 👍

Maybe you can advise me, if I need to disconnect the wire like this guy did on his E63 ? czcams.com/video/MuZJSGN8qZ4/video.htmlsi=CLSWcBvE0n2baIut

Thank you so much for your comment. At the moment the car had around 98,000 mikes

Thank you so much for your comment. Thank is awesome. Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much for your comment. You should replace the sensor and then install the pig tail. The harness only slows down the issue. It doesn’t stop it completely. So make sure you replace your position sensors and solenoids

​@@josecitomarinthank you

@@DJRip83 no problem

Thank you so much for your comment. He sure is a great guy.

Thank you so much for your comment. That is one way of flushing the engine! You are doing great 360k without any problems. As long as you change your oil regularly you should be okay. But oil analysis can let you know the early stages of blow seal or even piston rings, among other things. I’m just glad things are working for you.

Thank you so much for your comment. Wait for another video I’m working on before you do it.

Absolutely, will do

I think you should. I made another video in another way to clean the valves and I did it before the oil change.

Thank you so much for your comment. No problem

Thank you so much for your comment. I’ll keep that in mind in mind

I appreciate it Ron.

Thank you so much for your comment. I definitely like Ceratec. But we’ll see if after the second test I really need to spend the money on it or not. Just as Lake says, we are looking at the science of it and the numbers will tell us what we need to do.

@@josecitomarin thank you for such information looking forward to see if ceratec is good option.i prefer it with every oil change in my old m50b25 bmw engine because of organic moly 🙃

@@madmanwheelies6157 awesome. Have you done any testing on that engine?

@@josecitomarin havent done any testing yet but looking forward to do it.once again thanks for very valuable information 😄😄

@@madmanwheelies6157 no problem. Please let me know how you do with it when you get it done.

Thank you so much for your comment. A crash input is a voltage problem. Many people thinks that the car thinks it crashed or the crashed sensor was triggered. But it’s not. So, you either have a short somewhere, in my case was the starter, or your battery needs to be replaced, if your battery is older than two years I would say change it. You can also start a circuit test. You would have to check amperage change in each circuit taking the fuses out one at the time and looking for a change to see what is shorting. I’m not sure if you are familiar with it but is a process where you have to be patient and very careful so you don’t burn your meter. There is also a voltage drop process. You have to see what you are more comfortable doing. So, I would check the battery first. It may be as simple as that. Run a battery test see if the battery is keeping the voltage.

Thank you so much for your comment. Amazing set up!

Thank you so much Dominique. Definitely get it done. You’ll be glad you did it.

2017

Thank you so much for your comment. I have an even better suggestion than that. I am working on another video. Stay tuned.

@@josecitomarin that's awesome but I'll just do the map or completely remove the manifold and touch them.

@@blinx197 which map sensor? The one under the ECU? My other method sends the chemical almost directly to the valves.

@@josecitomarin yes, the one under the ECU.

@@blinx197 okay let me know how it goes

Thank you so much for your comment. Look bad but it’s really not

@@josecitomarin Great i'm going to try this myself not sure how much mechanics charge for this swap. I was wondering do you need to disconnect the main battery when doing this? Also was wondering on a side note I have been having an issue where the trunk no longer opens all the way automatically... is this related to the auxillary battery? The only other symptom i've noticed aside from the dash notification is that occasionally all the parking sensor lights will beep briefly.

@@Dnasty1 no need to disconnect the main battery. Just keep in mind the precautions I mention in my video with the rags. With the trunk you just may have to reset the height. You may have programmed a different height by mistake. To reset just push the trunk open all the way and then press and hold the close button until you hear a beep probably 3 to 5 seconds. Try that and if not the battery replacement may do the trick.

@@josecitomarin thanks the trunk seems to have a deeper issue. It opens half way and seems to be floppy and lose when I manually raise it fully. I am hoping the battery does the trick. Just curious since you do mechanic work on this car can oil changed be done from above or is everything underneath again.

@@Dnasty1 both ways. Take a look at my video with the oil change

Great. I’m glad it helped you

Yeah with a few zeros added to it

Thank you so much for your comment. I want to hold on it it for a very good time so I will continue showing what comes my way

Gracias a ti por comentar en mi video. Normalmente se atasca en la tapa. Pero entonces si está atascado en el motor gíralo como desatornillando y jala hasta que salga.

Ok muchas gracias. Sigue subiendo videos yo miro todos tus videos son de mucha ayuda y gracias otra vez

@@pedrolozano530 con todo gusto

Not bad to do at all. Go right ahead
