  • This is a must on your M156 C63 AMG if you have not done so already, this could literally save your engine from self destruction!
    We got some help in recording and editing this video so let me know in the comments what you think of the format. Apologies there hasn't been a video for so long I have been really poorly, but now I am slowly getting back to best.
    We have more videos coming so make sure to keep an eye out.
    Should you need any injectors for your m156 and live in the UK! you can purchase from my website

    Injectors wear out, we used to re-build carburettors at about 70,000 miles. Injectors are not a fit and forget thing. Also modern engines run a lot tighter parameters and bad injectors can wreck an engine. Not just the hydraulic problem of filing the cylinders with petrol mentioned. Good sound advice to my way of thinking. The car will also probably perform better and use less petrol for replacing worn /aged injectors.

    1:56 "I don't know why people don't do it [drain the oil cooler]". A good reason to not do it is because it is a challenge to get the air out of the oil cooler after the oil change. If some air is left in the oil cooler, it can stay there for a while and then be released at once, e.g., when someone puts the foot down and the oil pressure rises. This can lead to the engine being starved for oil for a moment and cause damage. In short, unless one has a way to get the air out of the oil cooler after the oil refill or otherwise control the release of the trapped air, one should not drain the oil cooler.

    I hate the "Professional" drain buckets, they're always in the way, can't be stored as easily as the pan style. Way easier to empty into the waste oil drum too, and cost is a no brainer.

      Completely agree! Plus no chance of an apprentice blowing it up and covering the garage in oil 😂

    Is this injector issue specific to this car or would you recommend replacing all injectors on an M273 V8 (W164 ML500 2010 45K miles)?

    I dont understand what you mean by you must replace injectors
    Is there a specific time frame or kilometres that you should replace the injectors
