Thank YOU so much and remember this channel is "For YOU by You" - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Doing all this without a single note in front of you! Brilliant. Thanks again from us out here muddling along.
I only hear music up to point of 4:05. After that i hear Pierre. Editing mistake? 👀
Doesn’t anyone actually check these videos before posting them?
That's why I say the editor of this channel is a race quota hire. Remember Pierre's video he deleted about "White people" he did a couple years back?
One of your best videos!
Hi Pierre, would be great if you made a video on the 6.9 one day, the great things about it, and also what may go wrong and how easy / difficult the repairs are. Thanks
Thank you!
BEST VIDEO FOR ME, GREAT MUSIC TASTE
Nice information on the earlier 300D engines. Don't know that information on the rods.
Blew head gasket 1985 300D. Was running strong. 238k..
Audio fixed! Excellent information
Was really looking forward to hearing his thoughts on motors.
Gracias
Guess the audio folks had too much coffee this morning……
Morin Pierre, you only hear music in the first 4 minutes of your video. Great info thank you.
I will add the W201 190E 2.3 16 Valve engines. These things are just more fragile than they should have been. Lovely cars to drive and much sought after but my 1986 US-version had two engine failures between 1997 and 2004. Timing chain tensioner failure for one that trashed the engine and improper maintenance in the rebuild. Crankshaft has no keyway and must be tightened on a bench to 240 ft/pounds. Great video Pierre.
A simple blow by test at the breather hose at valve cover top would show a worn engine block , rings . Used to do that on every used diesels for sale .
The editor of your vids must have some illegally-downloaded editing software from 2006 that he brought with him from the southern hemisphere.
It's part of the CARisma of this channel
I enjoyed the music. 🙂 my 260 SE (6 cylinder line) had a new head gasket. should I be worried? It runs fairly smooth.
Do the M110 caveats apply to the 185 hp Euro spec engines as well, or just the catalyzed low-compression US ones? I'm assuming just the US ones, since the Euro ones didn't have all the emissions stuff.
My W116 has an M110.922. It's a '79. Has 291,000 kms on the engine. Solex carb. I remember you mentioned in another video that's what you would own and love the noisey drive train. So i went out and bought one. Now i hear it's doomed.. Great! Some say they've seen M110 do over 800 000 kms... lets see what happens. Thanks for the insightful video
hey mate, I'm looking at buying a 116. anything I should look out for? just trying to get owners opinions, its either this or a w123 230e.
Rust - in the wheel arches, the boot, floor under the back seat, doors, engine bay, hood, etc. Everything else is fixable. I've had the M102 in a W201 which is the same in the W123 230E. It was just a 2.0 litre not the 2.3. They will require a new head gasket at some stage.
@@omzysgarage9323 Hey thanks for the reply mate, I'll keep that in mind to look for rust. Would you say the w201is good daily driver?
Yes, I daily dorve the W201- so much fun. Exactly what they're made for. However, not really suited for rainy weather as they have boot and door leak issues like other mercedes of that era.
@@omzysgarage9323 ok thanks mate, appreciate it. 👍👍
Attention to detail.
Australia here; I told my old school Mercedes mechanic to put a double row timing chain in my '83 SEC with 305,000 km on the clock. I know the terrible damage that can happen when these fail in my job as a diesel mechanic. He looked at it and said they had been replaced with double row. Good. I also keep an '84 SE 380, 195,000 km for spare parts.
Do you represent the whole Australia?
Could you do a video about w210? Engine, electronics, transmission etc.... I am looking to buy one with around 200.000km on the clock.
If I may be so bold, he doesn’t work on/recommend w210 due to the excessive over complicated electronics/computer controls. They are however good cars when well maintained, I personally drive one. The m112/m113 has a reputation for reliability. These cars are still pretty common out in the world. It’s the last gasp of old-world Mercedes engineering, but definitely not an easily repairable mechanical vehicle like what came before. I enjoy my w210.
a 1996 w210 300d is very simple compared to 1998/1999 4 speed vacuum controlled transmission and less engine electronics. In 1997 it switched to a 5 speed transmission but engine electronics still minimal. 1998 was a different beast with a turbo - 1999 also
Smoking that peyote 😂 before uploading
I was hoping close captioning might cover the gap, it just features the word: [Music]
Pierre what about the m113? Would you consider that the last great Mercedes engine?
That engine sux
Hi Pierre. This is the 2nd video with audio problems mate. Just wanted you to know. Cheers John 🍻
Seems ok now /
Seems like Pierre needs a new editor.
Hey Bro! Repost.
Music only the dialogue didn’t come through
I think your videos would be just fine without any music at all
M271 1.8L 4 cylinder timing chain stretch early 2000s engine
Can’t hear the dialogue!
P we can’t hear you !!
I started to watch this but then went to listen to my M110 instead.
I thought M102 was solid?
Can you please re-upload, or re-shoot this video without the mess for the first four minutes. I really wanted to hear this one but theres something majoly wrong with the editing...
Your video is just like Mercedes engines , failing and you forgot to mention the M103 which head gasket fails at 100k .😀😀
He already said that the M103 is very realible. The head gasket is the only item to look for.
Tbh my m104 engine is on 150k miles with a weep of oil.
If you thrash the car to high rpm you'll pay the cost.
Just replace coolant n fan clutch
Just music!!!
Bad video no dialogue brother
