This E55 AMG Was Parted Out After A Mercedes Dealer Ruined It. The Story & What I Bought For My CDI

1. What other AMG parts should I get for the CDI?

2. My dealer must have hired all the really bad techs in the country. They don't even have a hydrometer, or can tell half worn pads from almost gone pads, etc…

3. Whoever destroyed that AMG must have zero experience with working on them.

4. He took a 2500 mercedes to the mercedes dealership to install aftermarket stuff in it?

5. Weird part is I have a w210 diesel an it came with a bungee to I guess mercedes diesels give people bungee cords

6. good interior with a hole in the seat

7. Could you do a EV conversion on one of these cars with a blown engine? Would love to see a electric crate motor installed. Thanks!

8. Thanks for the great content.

9. I agree. Please fix my car!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

10. the brakes from my 98 c250 td wagon ELEGANCE look bigger and sportier than those in the e320

11. I like how positive you are Alex, awesome stuff. Kia Kaha from Aotearoa 😉

12. Alex weres the best place to find a decent E55 AMG 2005 ?
    Ty
    best

13. The engine locked up because the oil pump was clogged and starved the top end, what happened after is it spun a cam bearing, not too hard to figure out from those two pictures, it wasnt a bad cam and lifter job, i mean you gotta be an idiot to screw up a cam job(not talking about timing)

14. Excited? Oh my God I can’t believe how you scored

15. Oh my God I can’t even believe it! STEVES RESTO MODS Inc….

16. Next time go to the AMG Dealership

17. i wish it to any bmw driver

18. normally I love your videos but you are way off the mark with this one.. You specifically said the owner asked to fit NG parts.. owner is liable, not mercedes.. For the lifters to have fucked up the top end was obviously starved of oil prior to the dealer seeing it so to say it was their doing is speculative at best. A technician, workshop forman, road tester and lastly advisor would never sign off on anyone welding a crank.
    I bet me left nut the owner was well informed of its lack of service history prior to offloading a ticking timebomb to an unsuspecting owner

19. No dealer would ever do that especially not a Mercedes dealership have you confirmed that the receipts that you've got or have seen our genuine probably they are fake

20. I think that we, your subscriber, will appreciate if you will explain step by step when you do a DIY work on your cars. it is really nice learn from your experience.

21. Another engine down due to missing oil pressure sensor and gauge.

22. Another MBZ dealer fail!!!

23. A friend of mine always says, dont trust the dealership for repairs, half the time they don't know what they're doing. Our coworker's daughter took her Hyundai Sonata to the dealer for regular scheduled service. She left the dealer and noticed her check engine light was on 2 blocks down the road. She pulled over immediately and shut the car off, walked back to the dealership and they told her to call a tow truck and have it towed back. Long story short, they drained her transmission fluid and forgot to refill it with new fluid.

24. Name and shame the dealership.

25. Is this your fulltime job fixing Mercedes?

26. What’s the adress of the dealership ? Shame them out. Make sure nobody else goes there, and gets f****d.

27. Why didn't you get the rear limited slip diff from the AMG?

28. I can probably part out my Mercedes and have it payed off in a week.

29. I took my S500 to local Benz dealer for a Pre Purchase Inspection. Wanting to find out anything that needed maintenance. I knew the tail lights were not working, NO electricity back there. They first gave a checklist page where each thing gets a check mark for working well. Tail lights? Check. They also STOLE MY FLOOR MATS and replaced them with worn out ones, I could tell because they were the wrong color, they were dirty, and they were scrunched (creased) permanently where the previous owner had moved their seat forward causing a permanent crease where the driver's heel touches the floor. I made the dealership replace the floor mats because the ones I had, were immaculate and lent the car an added feeling of luxury, now these were garbage! Then I addressed the tail lights issue. They said, "You need a trunk wiring harness ($873) plus labor and followed by further troubleshooting." Meaning, trunk wiring harness will NOT fix the tail lights. Did my own research and learned there is a SAM (signal acquisition module) under the back seat and that may be the problem. Bought one of those on eBay for $150 from a seller with thousands of all good reviews, replaced it myself, and VOILA. all fixed…. Perfect. I trust NO dealer. Anywhere.

30. Why would you weld the pulley in place , it's not not even good welding .

31. Well thats pretty insane….

32. Wait, what….the Mercedes Benz dealership here in this story must have been hard pressed for decent mechanics, because this guy sure as hell didn't represent the brand very well. How did I even miss this video? Great story, and even better content right here Alex.

33. cleaning car headlights tutorial video

34. I'm a BMW guy but your content is amazing and you have an awesome attitude! Props. Look forward to more BMW content!

35. Must of been a fletcher jones dealer they really such

36. Hi, I realise this is an old video but the cam pulley would have broke off due to oil starvation probably caused by the gasket material on the pick up pipe, that’s why there is material build up on the cam. Crank is shocking lol. On a note of caution these engines are prone to being run low on oil due to no dip stick and lazy/faulty electronic metering system.
    Cool channel

37. Wow man that was not cool at all. R.i.p 55.
