My Turbo Diesel Mercedes is in serious need of more fuel. In this video, we test my 200,000-mile injectors with a weird homemade tool. I also show you a new part that came from Europe off a twin-turbo V8 diesel that's not sold in the United States. I also show you what happens when hitting an armadillo at 80 MPH and what it broke on my 2005 E320 CDI.

Who else drives a diesel? Whatcha got?
LegitStreetCars had a 2002 tdi Jetta back in da day. Was ok but not great
going to buy a Mahindra Thar Diesel very soon, In America, you know it as Mahindra Roxor.... But it cabbed version in India and has 4x4 abilities with unlocked ECU.
My mom has a 2006 cdi with only 70k in Chicago :) Garage kept the entire time. She loves the car.

That e-class cdi might be rare in States but here in europe it's very common and many tuners and tune company's also.
JUST put a uprated fuel pump with more pressure and poss injectors up rate job done
You need a European connection. Someone that speaks one of the languages or lives there and can do research in the native language, for example German. Saved me when I was looking for clutch parts for a b class very rare in Canada to have a B-Class in manual. The Dealer's here wanted way too much money.

Thank god the diesel is back ! Was missing that car ! Hey Alex greetings from Montreal!
ask for injectros from finland. Here we have many shops that make some serious injectors that will be good for 600hp
TYÄ_MIÄS please write me who i can find injectors they can make 600HP
Alex, your telling me that in 2019 you can't overnight your injectors to Finland and have a monster of a car within 2 weeks time? Are you not a member of the SuperTurboDiesel forums?
In finland we sure know how to make power from diesel engines :D its awesome you know finland from our st mercedes community!

@@Juupatijuu853 Hello
I have an ml400cdi and looking to get a bit more power, can you recomend me forums?
Here in spain it is not a very popular car (very few units)
Thanks
Will the OM 628 Engine (4 Liter V8 Diesel) would fit in the W211 chassis? The V8 with a hybrid turbo, larger injectors, a larger fuel pump and a tune...would be an interesting car...
@@al8161 don't know about that I see loads of ML's on the Costa Del Sol or do you mean the 400cdi's think thats low units try my ML55 AMG
Glad to see the diesel Mercedes back!
It’s been a while since you got the M5 (not hating the E39 is great but I came for the Mercedes content)
bring it here in Romania, we can make that puppy reach 500hp in no time with a proper tune and injectors 👌

You should get a custom tune from company called Cdituikku Oy(located in Finland). Guy who runs it, has probably the best knowledge of tuning mb diesel engines.
I'm now envisioning a vacation where I drive my CDI to Finland, get it tuned, then take the long way back to Estonia through Norway (yay mountains). Might actually have to get this done now :P
Yes, that pump is from E420 CDI, 4.0 V8 Twin Turbo Diesel, 315hp stock
Each injector is actually programmed into the computer to each corresponding cylinder, so they do absolutely have to go back in the same place. There is a correction factor (IMA code) stamped in each injector solenoid that changes how accurately the computer fires each injector. Just fyi to anyone else attempting this job!
But when you replace one injector with new, what then?
words cannot describe how great your channel is. Thank you Alex - keep it up!
I ended up buying a 2005 CDI after watching some of your videos. Had a little bit of black death on the front injector so I was able to get it for $3700 with only 235k miles. Black death fix went pretty well, definitely didn't have the difficult you did pulling them. Thanks for the content on these, definitely looking forward to seeing more
What do you mean with black death?
@@cihans4923 excessive carbon deposits in and around fuel injectors
Love your mercedes turbo diesel content,keep up the great job !
Don’t stop making cdi videos man! Keep on doing your thing. I bought a wrecked cdi about a year ago and completely turned it around and now it’s my daily. Your videos have been very helpful along the way.
Woohoo!!! Thank you mate, been waiting for this one. 😍
Great to see how you are coming along with the CDI! I have one, and am considering some of the updates you are doing.
Alex, thanks for bringing the CDI back on line. ‘Totaled my first 06 CDI late one night courtesy of a chunk of steel (it cleared the motor but cracked the tranny housing and air bags deployed on the driver’s side) on I-20 so I feel your pain. ‘Was lucky and found a second one in Atlanta. Outstanding content as always!
Great video man. I would love to pick up a diesel to get around town in, keep the content coming!
An armadillo travelling about 80 miles an hour?
lmao he is travbelling 80mph not the animal
And they said the cheetah is the fastes running mammal... ;-)
Must have been one of those armadillo/cheetah hybrid genetic experiments that my co-worker said the government is secretly doing haha
Maybe the planned mass visit to Area 51 this September will uncover this experiment.
Rory O Loughlin did he rear end it?
Awesome content man! Wish we had more diesels like this in the states
LOL that clip of you slide hammering the injector is Priceless hahahaa. C'mon CDI you can do it!!! Haircut looks good BTW, good choice. Cheers
The thing I love most about this car is how the engine is just a +1 cylinder Sprinter engine.
2004-2006 Sprinters use an OM647 and this car uses an OM648. Can't wait to find a reasonably priced good condition one here in FL
Good video! Being educated on this particular car. Diesel Mercedes is going to be looking good when you have all items complete. You love this body style, from the E55 to the Diesel. Looking forward also for the M5.
Planning on upgrading to a E320 cdi from my C220 Cdi ! Greetings from Germany and keep up the good work.
Pretty cool test with the clear hoses and milk jug. BTW, you look awesome with the new do!
My dad told me to remove one of the injectors on our CDI because the copper seal was leaking. Somehow we didn't notice the leak in time and the entire of the thread of the bolt was covered in that black gunk. I gave up on the bolt because it didn't want to move and I didn't want to break that bolt. My dad barely got it out then it came to the injector. I had to hold a giant pry bar, trying to lift it up, while my dad used a hammer to free the injector. Was quite the job but we did it in the end with no broken bolts. The injector had ~1cm of pure black tar around it.
Man I thought I knew something about cars from my days of being an auto mechanic in the Army, but you're flying over my head!! Good stuff Alex - keep it coming! Btw, got anything for us lowly '08 e350 owners?
Man thank you for the CDI content. Love the diesel vids dude. I know your expanding your car collection. Don’t forget these old benzs. I love em. Where u parking all these cars dude? Lol also Escalade. Review!
looking forward to see the results and more videos about this diesel
I've got a 2004 E270 CDI 2.7 Inline 5cyl, the sound it makes is like a mini V10 diesel that just wants to explode 😂. These cars are over-engineered and absolutely do not care about mileage. I live in Albania, here is the heaven of Mercedes-Benz (specially old types) as mentioned in Top Gear, 80% of the cars here are Mercedes, because as we say there are two kinds of cars in this world 1. Mercedes-Benz, 2. Others. Im a Mercedes diesel enthusiast, anything you will need or questions about your Benz i will be happy to answer. Us, viewers from the Europe want moree videos from the CDI :) Good luck on your journey! Best respect from the largest importer of Mercedes-Benz in the world - ALBANIA
BTW, these are very, very popular in Balkan and Europe!!!
I have been to Albania recently, and yes- it is easier to count the cars that do NOT have a three pointed star on the hood. Lots of 124's and 201's. A little disappointing there weren't many 123's, but it was still so cool to be among my favorite cars. We were traveling in a 124 wagon, so we felt right at home!
Glad to see another diesel video. Keep it up!
Your e55 is drop dead gorgeous, but I absolutely adore my ol' 540i, so I would definitely take that e39 M5, I love operating my V8 everyday. Congrats on the wonderful collection.
A twin turbo V8 diesel!? That just sounds so crazy for some reason.
Check out VW's 4.2 TDI
@@rickd8979 blaah, the king of diesels are 6.0 V12 TDI found in Audi Q7.
@@santtu9169
Still prefer the 4.2 V8. More than enough power and surprisingly reliable in my experience
@@rickd8979 its quite ok, a lot better than VW V10 TDI
I started with a 1.9 TDI in a 2003 jetta
Recently purchased a 2013 2.0 TDI for my fiance.
Next Im either looking for a v10 Twin Turbo TDI Toureg or an Audi Q5 TDI. (Recently got a much better paying job and have to commute a bit further every day)
I fell in love with the diesels! Modded the hell out of the 2003! They are so much fun!
So many choices-none are wrong! E55! I watched the black death video. What a mess that job was! So recommend reaming the seats too, or new seals and factory MB grease only (no black death present with my CDI). Glad to see some diesel love!
I talked to a lot of people here at Brabus and they all said the same thing: why would you want larger Injectors? The right way to go would be more fuel pressure. I think that’s why no company offers larger injectors because it doesn’t make any sense. Even if you want 400+ hp that’s totally doable with the stock injectors.
Everyone who has actually nodded the cars says the same thing. I have no idea why he is doing this or allowing it to hold up the entire build. There are amg c30 injectors that are larger and bolt in. Maybe he will explain at some point.
Love your cdi videos!
Just Purchased a 2006 E320 CDI! 200,000 Miles for $4,000. The car is pristine! Minus a couple easily repairable paint chips, the paint looks like it just came out of the spray booth! It also has 0 evidence of black death, the valleys are all very clean, barely even any dust! It has all new shocks, struts, and suspension components all around as well, and no rust! I could practically eat off of the frame, new tires, interior is 9/10. I am very happy!
Hey! Love your Chanel dude! Hope to see even more cdi vids. Just got myself an e320 cdi wagon and are going the tuning route. Have you found any gearbox upgrades you might suggest?
Alex is the official mad scientist of automovtive experiments. I always learn something from your videos! This visual test was very cool.
Dr. Alex Frrran-koon-schtein! LOL
Great video! Nice haircut!
You chose wisely taking the 211 to work. I love that car. But I am quite excited about your C63.. since that’s what I own!
THANKfull 4 u for vids for explaining About black death etx, realy thank you man, i own w211, and alot learned from you
Missing so much the E320 CDI.. Subscribed for this beauty. I have the same one and its just gorgeous. :)
Don't worry, its coming back
Oh thank you so much, people that are making videos of this model in youtube are just a few... And you are the best. Please keep it and show em who is the best. 💯🔝 Greeting from Bulgaria🇧🇬😋
Mercedes source here on CZcams is useful for injector work. He has some nice kits to help clean and test them
The shop I bought my CDI from in texas actually gets their tuning info and some performance parts from Europe and the mechanic is European himself with 20 years experience working on German cars. They do all their own tuning. Just a 2 man operation. Really nice and honest people.
The fleet is looking awesome :)
Hopefully we will get to see the turbo diesel Mercedes on the track
THANK YOU
I Love this build!
Cant wait for the blueprint to keep modding mine.
Lost a w211 to black death at 386k
What mileage would be recommended for injector seals? Only at 44,000 mi currently
Thank you again for saturday night entertainment!
No problem. Where are you watching from?
@@LegitStreetCars Finland
Its worth cleaning the injector seats while they are out, a circle of fine abrasive paper superglued to the end of a plastic rod the same size as the injector works well. a little spot of grease on the end to pick up the swarf & drop it down the injector hole a few gentle turns cleans the seat ready for the new seal washer.
been waiting to see the diesel again!!!!
The Bosh Service here in Germany said to me, that this Test isn‘t good for Piezo Injectors. They have testes Piezo Injectors which failed by this Test, but they were totally perfect. So if you have an Piezo Injector, you have to Check the selective quantity corrector with an Computer with your OBD Port. And if that says an injector is bad, it is bad! It‘s easyer to test, and the results are much safer and more correctly :)
These injectors are not piezo, but anyway quantity correction can be checked with star and it's a good test to do. I have no clue why they asked Alex to do this test because they should anyway swap out the internals and fix the leakage and the quantity correction.
Thef Rs Yes you‘re right, but if you have Piezo injectors by your car, don‘t do that test. It‘s more difficult/complicated as checking with your Computer the selectiv quantity Correction, and it‘s less correct as the Test with the Computer. If you have no Piezo Injectors, that Test is really good :) and sorry, i thought i had Piezo Injectors, but i‘m not an expert on Mercedes, i‘m more the BMW Fanboy :D But as you‘ve said, why he‘s checking that on his car, i don‘t know🙄
The video were you pulled the injectors scared that crap out of me. Looking at this I'll pull mine the next chance I get. I already have new seals sitting on my shelf, waiting to go in.
By the way I love that little diesel Mercedes. Had never heard of it by the way but we want more of the E 320 Trubo ! Please ! Alex !
I had to do a similar test on a set of v8 900cr MAN diesel in a 48 viking. I had to measure each injectors fuel return rate at different RPMs.
Great video Alex...do you recommend any diesel injector cleaners that we can use to delay the carbon buildup?
Got to keep us updated. Don't stop we need your expertise knowledge.
A good tool to get stuck injectors out is called a Texas twister you attach to a air hammer and it’s easy work
Had same cars years ago still questioning why the crap i sold it. Perfect in every way
Awesome. Love the W211 and would buy a CDI in a heartbeat if you could find em as a wagon.
Please, make a video diy of headbolt and bucket replacement on the 63. It would contribute a lot to the 63 community
I was wondering the same.... Love the diesel Merc....
WOW!! Who would have thought.."l hit an Armadillo doing 80mph".. Thats one damn fast Dillo!!..Question,whats the handling like for an Armadillo doing 80?..makes you wonder!! haha...good video LSC as usual
Caught my relatives one in time where it was starting to do the black death but he wanted to change out them with new ones and a better turbo and all. I dont know if he got them honed or what type because he handed me them out of the package one at a time. The thing runs amazing but he is getting it retuned for the better turbo and down and injection. The thing runs so amazing before and after.
You should have looked in marine industry in South Florida for injector work.there are a lot of good shops especially for common rail stuff. Everglades and clean air are my favorite injector shops to use.
Maybe it would be better to go with avantgarde bumpers since they are wider and would make a car sleeper more than amg bumpers. You already have black 63 bumper, having two of them might just be little boring. Just my honest opinion. After all, i apriciate all work and advices for diesel since i own one. Greetings from croatia.
Title scared me lol, I read that you were stopping making videos on this thing. Glad I read it wrong! In Europe you'd have the opposite problem of choosing the tuner for that puppy!
Finely more diesel videos 😎😁😁👌👌
Bro love your videos and i dont even have a CDi.. with all the things the cars are hitting put on a nudge bar lol Removing the injectors also a very good anti theft system.
Alex, I love your videos, glad to see the CDI again! I just thought I'd let you know that Skillshare customer service is horrible. I cancelled after my 3 month trial and they STILL charged me for a full year premium subscription. There is NO phone number to contact only Email, and the more I research it this is literally a VERY common problem. The only way people get out of the subscription is to order a new debit/credit card. I just thought I would let you know. I wouldn't support a company that treats people like that but it's yours to do with what you will.

You hit that Attac Rat pretty good.
Make sure u change the diesel fuel filter regulary to prevent clogged injectors.

Hey Man!! Any advice on removing and replacing rear axel shafts on a W210 E430?
Hi. Can you do a video on a R230 sl55? I know it shares the engine with the e55 but i need to know more about it. Currently owning a w208 clk55. Thanks
Man! An armadillo (@12:35) traveling at 80mph... fastest I've seen them is mid to upper 60s. Maybe that's because they're fatter here in MS. LoL Loved the fight with the Silver's black death. EVERYTHING I do with my cars goes just like that.
I know you know this Alex but I’ve got to 6 minutes in and you haven’t mentioned fuel injection deviation quantities that are monitored by the ECU. In modern common rail diesels, you can monitor the fuel injection deviation quantifies as the ECU will reduce fuelling to compensate for one or more over fuelling injectors although the method you show here is the definitive test. Deviation quantities of +/- 3 mg/stroke.
Example data below:
Cyl. 1 Injection Quantity Deviation: -1.75 mg/stroke
Cyl. 2 Injection Quantity Deviation: -1.66 mg/stroke
Cyl. 3 Injection Quantity Deviation: -1.28 mg/stroke
Cyl. 4 Injection Quantity Deviation: 4.69 mg/stroke
The first 3 injectors on this Fiat/Opel/Vauxhall/Saab/Alfa Romeo Z19DTH engine are reduced to compensate for cylinder 4. This imbalance will result in a shuddering engine, the vibrations will have their own fun on your engine mounts etc...
Have also seen the same information on my old bulletproof M57D30TÜ2.
Great video as always Alex.
Legit tradecraft. I have motored a 2008 e320 bluetec tester. Wow! Ended in c class.
Hey Alex 👋 I'm a maintenance technician and recently got into diesels handful months ago. Been watching almost all your videos on this Mercedes-Benz and looking to get one in the states. I'm in Arizona and would love to start a project car

update? seriously considering buying one of these i come from a cummins diesel background so this fits me perfect
Hi there , greatings.to you for the grest content that you bring with yours 2 w211. I have a question for you cause you are a former mercedes technician . I would like to know the procedure on das xentry on how to calibrate the range on my bixenon headlights . I have a w211 with selfleveling bixenon healights . I searched a lot but i found no info on the internet . Have a nice day
to be honest: the test you show is pretty much the same in the mercedes dealership shops (exept for a little bit more professional equipment :D ) and your result is pretty much about perfect ... if you had an om651 you would have trouble with diesel spilling out of your tiny tubes after about 1 maybe 2 seconds :D ... but in this case your injectors are like brand new in terms of inner leakage ;)
you mentioned the injectors might have been replaced at some point ... but these engines (OM646 / OM647 / OM648) have the most reliable injectors of the big engine planet ;)
Just like the OM611/OM612/... these injectors don`t have to deal with stupid presure of 2000 bar and more so they just don`t have that much wear about time.
My OM646 does have the first set of injectors that came with the car out the factory and it spooled almost 300tkm (186411,358 miles) wich is pretty much in germany :D they now start to get a bit old but i just give them to "Bosch" and they rebuild them. After that they are like brand new for very little money !
And after i`ve blamed you in the last injector Video for not treating the injectors right after you get them out the engine i still have to say what mercedes says and all mechanics in germany know:
injectors should not leak their diesel in any case because any air bubble that will be in there COULD (i dont say will) cause damage to it when it gets connected and the presure forces the internals to sit in their seal"position" ... as u might know there is a small needle inside the injector wich will be pulled to the top when the valve is supposed to open for the injecting process. this needle has to get back in place after that and does not like be thrown into place without diesel in between the sealing surfaces ;)
plz don`t mind my writing im pretty tired
thanks for your content i do enjoy it !
I missed the E320 CDI
Alex, Thanks for a very informative videos, I have question I have 2004 Mercedes-Benz C240 with M112 engine ca I use alternator form 2002 Mercedes-Benz E320 both cars share the same engine ? C240 use Bosch AL0787x E320 use Bosch AL0788x the the S430 use Bosch AL0789
Are the alternators comparable “interchangeably “ with these cars
Wow crazy to hear someone else hit an armadillo in there mercedes. It took out my bumper,condenser, and radiator. I thought i had ran over a football helmet lol
I just bought w204 Facelift 350 cdi amg I love it 265 bhp 620 nm torqe
Yes, that "Black Death" video was indeed very "revealing" :-o
I can remember the Video from the Silver CDI :D
Well send those Injectors to Germany, Sweden or Finland.
Best Diesel Tuners on the Planet.
I have watched all of the CDi videos and certainly remember the “black death“ and whish this project kept going, would have loved to see more indepth the fitting of the fuel pump and the swirl flap delete
The black death puts the shits up me with my OM642. I will be doing my injector seats in the near future.
With DIESEL its pressure fuel pump pressure because MOST turbo DIESEL run on high pressure fuel pumps hope this helps change your high pressure fuel pump to more powerful uprated ect and poss injectors
ALL diesel engines need HIGH fuel pressure... get to know your stuff before you comment
Alex at Superman speed . Wait a minute ! Could it be ?
He’s the REAL Superman . Automotive Superman
Do you have some guides on an 04 E320? Audio Gateway failed but I also don't know what to do for performance mods or STAR computer?
Hang on there, those injectors are coded, each has a code printed on top, this is stored in the ecu, the ecu knows the flow rate from the code.. If they're boring em out.. How will the ecu know the flow? Whoever is remapping it better be good.
The e400/420 cdi in w211 guise was "born dead" , because MB didn't consider offending it as a T model.. Customers weren't happy, they wanted a quick wagon and didn't get it.
the code is basically just a correction amount to the flow rate. The new injectors will have a new flow rate that will have to be remapped manually and also new codes that will have to be programmed with star diag.
I think the E400/E420 CDI's are kinda pointless. Twice the cylinders, twice the injectors and twice the turbochargers, while not making much more power.
@@uzernaim1648 stock maybe but only with a tune it runs easily 400hp and 800nm
You can correct for that with a custom tune. However, if those injectors are anything like the ones on my '14 Cummins, they are coded and must be placed in their specific cylinder. Swapping around injectors will cause the engine to not run.
I mentioned the same also above.
What Allen Hex socket were you using, looks slightly longer than standard, i’ve much want for it 😂
When more diesel stuff? We want more!
Can we get an update on the armadillo ?
