Doesn't look like your new mounting plates are threaded. I had to get a mechanic to tap new theads; he says that parts sometimes come from the factory w/o threads.
Very good info as it reminds me I have one flap that at least needs adjusting. Please do me a favor though....get rid of that insanely awful background track. It's like nails on a blackboard.
First thanks for watching, second, I haven’t watched that one in a while and I’m not sure why I thought that was a good choice for background track. Don’t think I’ll be choosing that one again! Moosemade
When he says push the button which button is he talking about I have a 2012 SL550...
Please share the exact size nut you used
Yeah. Except that it is NOT easy pesy. Mine wouldn't budge even with needle nose pliers. I'll keep looking for a more realistic video because he didn't show that he had to release the clips that hold it in. And he didn't show HOW to release the clips. This guy is just playing games and I will never watch any of his time wasting garbage again.
What size coupler and clear tubing?
Hi have you done yours? I want to know the size too
To all who are contemplating this DIY project. I wanted to report that I did as instructed and it worked very well. Thanks so much to MooseMade for posting this. Good info in the benz world forum as well.
You're awesome !!! And it's exactly my case ! Can't believe I was so lucky today and found this video in a minute by searching: sl500 r230 roof. I googled that part no and found genuine "Mercedes r230 (02-12) Repair Kit for Convertible Top Flap" on Amazon for $66 ! Ordered kit and can't wait to do it. Then I'ma move to next videos and try to adjust top, glue leather trim ...Not sure, how it'll go because here and there some small plastic parts are broken. Thank you so much for big help with repair !!! 🙂
Awesome! I’m so glad I was able to help! Enjoy your ride! MooseMade
Awesome! So why is it not linear? Bigger nut further drop?
You forget to tell everyone about how the kn oil residue will alter the performance of the maf sensor.
Nice!
would this be a problem on a same year cls550 ? i see ans smell burning oil in engine bay
I believe the 5.5L engines are the same. There are plugs on both sides, mine happened to be leaking from the passenger side. MooseMade
@@moosemadevideo9330 thanks lmao it turned out to be the PCV valve 45 min fix and shes up and running perfectly
Thank you. It's a daunting task, but with your video it was done within 2 hours, start to finish. I would add, make sure you have the correct tools at hand, and TRUST me is was a doddle. Thank you again🙏
Make sure you get a wheel alignment or you’re going to wear out the inside of your tires
Genius except didnt really see or understand what or where you did the adjustment in the rear
Glad I came across this. Great video👌 do you have the hydrolic hose part number?
I have a 'burned oil" smell in my sl550. Would this kind of leak get to the exhaust manifold? Any suggestions? There is no oil in the under pans - clean as a whistle.
One issue with oil leaks is it’s difficult to find the source. The best I can say is with a strong LED flashlight look at all sides of the engine for a dirty “fuzzy” appearance, this will be the accumulation of dirt sticking to oil, it will look damp. And then follow it upward. Also, wipe down as much of the engine as you can and then inspect. This may not be much help, tracing oil leaks can be tenuous. Thanks for watching. MooseMade
That parts kit from Mercedes? I've got the same issue. ;)
Yes, I don’t have the box with the part number anymore. I got it from Autohauz AZ.
@@moosemadevideo9330 ordered
give me your old grille...pls
👍👍👍😁
Hi! what is the height difference before and after on the lowest mode ? 😄
What tips did you put?
They are a no name brand, something I found online. MooseMade
It would’ve been helpful if you told us what fluid to put in what is it? And are you serious 6 quarts that’s 12 pints?
Moose does it again!!!
Excellent video and explanation
Hello would you say that a $5000. Transmission replacement is fair pricing? any advice is appreciated.
I feel there are a few factors that go into it. Is it a new transmission? Are there shipping costs, a core charge? (Cash On Return Exchange) is the work being done by the dealership, or a local shop you trust? I had to change the trans in mine and the shop I used found one from a newly crashed SL, I had it installed and programmed for the car for about 2500. Also, the shop that did it gave me a warranty for six months on the trans and a year on the work. Things to consider. I’m sorry to hear you are having transmission issues. The local dealership wanted nearly 11 thousand for the same work as a point of reference. MooseMade
@@moosemadevideo9330 hello thanks for replying, it would be a rebuilt piece with a core exchange warranties on labor and parts as well the work /labor performed by a local shop with Mercedes’ experience, the dealership would charge more than the vehicles worth. Thanks again
Our 2003 sl500 , previous owner had the suspension replaced with shocks. 🤔 what else does this hydrolic system do ???
The pump for the suspension is a “tandem pump” in that it also acts as the power steering pump, when one decides to pull out the ABC one needs to change out the pump for a single duty pump. MooseMade
Really appreciate you filming this (and other) helpful R230 DIY videos! Cheers, Rob.
Thank you! If it helps that’s awesome, I’m an automotive enthusiast and glad you enjoy your car too! MooseMade
how many jars did you consume?
do you want to be a TV broadcaster haha
I have a 2011 SL550, factory exhaust and I don’t want to have it be loud - but deeper and more throaty ! Sound like an x pipe at 2 1/4 and resonator delete and keep the muffler and current stock tips should be the trick ?! The next level is remove stock muffler and add twin tips - ala SL63 for even more sound ?
The factory mufflers are very effective at doing their job, which is of course to muffle the sound. Removing just the resonators will add a bit of “loudness” because there will be some drone in the cabin. If I were to do it over again I would leave the resonators and get different mufflers. X pipe is good for equalizing the pulses from the exhaust giving more of a r-r-r-r sound. In tandem with a good muffler. Thank you.
Thank you. How do we find the slimmer air filter ?
I did a web search, I believe I found those on Amazon.
Can you try to update your muffler to Novel muffler?
NAT BAD REDOU AII THE SEITS. WED GOOD ITALEAN LADOR . AND IT WIIOL LOOK. GOOD .🤗👍
Can you put a stock 2009 grille into a 2007 opening?
Perfect
This is the second video of yours I have watched. It would be great for you to add links or a description of the parts you use for us who are watching.
Thank you for the feedback, I agree, though as a beginner UA-camr I haven’t figured how to do that yet. MooseMade
Thanks for this I have used the links you talked about on my CL500. Not sure the sensor is in a similar position to do this on the CL or my new w220’s class here in thailand. It’s up on the ramp in a few days and I will have a look. Good job bro and enjoy that SL. She’s a beauty.
I added some nickel strips I had left over from a Li-ion build. Used two layers(one long strip folded over). Like a bearing/spacer thingy...
Nice thinking! Thanks for watching. MooseMade
Hey guys, where do you get the filters ? I see I can get the fluid on Amazon but can’t seem to find the filter. Is this a dealer only part?
what button did you press!
Sum mercedes are equipped with a "ABC or air suspension" which have a button that you can use to lower or higher the car and with the custom adjustment you make, you make the car sit lower or higher by pressing the button.
I asked the same question which button...
Where can i buy the grill from
I don’t recall the exact vendor, I did a Google search for grille 08sl550 and several popped up. I’m sorry, that may not be much help. MooseMade
Where can i buy the grill from you? Have a website
How many liters do you recommend to flush through? 10?
I like to go until the fluid runs clean, which usually takes about 10 or 11. Thanks for watching! MooseMade
Do you have any more detailed photos of the rear setup? Unsure what you meant when you switched the nuts around. Maybe it will make more sense once I have the wheel off.
There are 2 nuts that secure the bracket, one in board- toward the centerline of the car, and one outboard. Putting the inboard nut under the bracket will add lowering, assuming the outboard one is loose, then tighten, don’t overtighten or you will bend the bracket making it difficult to return to stock. Thanks for watching! MooseMade
@@moosemadevideo9330 Thank you for your help! Worked out perfectly. Definitely creates a slammed feel to the ride. Planning on installing coilovers once the first ABC issue occurs.
Great video thanks! I just removed the cap, but a couple of teeth broke off, and I tried my best to see if they were still stuck inside the hole. I fitted the new one but it took some force to install. If there was a small piece stuck inside, is that a problem ?
Thanks to this video and other videos I have just did this myself. It’s much easier if you pop the flap off, and unscrew it from the arm. Put everything back the re attach the flap. However I notice your old part is the upgraded version. Your old part is not from the factory and this was replaced at least once before. Also hope you added some grease inside that “rack and pinion” where you can see the wears
Yes, good insight, I did lube it up, and yeah I found removing it and using some painters tape to hold it together as assembly happens is easier too! Thanks for watching , I’m glad to hear you fixed yours! MooseMade
Will try this on my V12 👍
Couple of things you didn't mention. 1) Once you've driven the vehicle or done the rodeo for about 15 minutes to get the hydraulic fluid up to temp, the reservoir needs to be emptied and filled with new fluid once doing this test and kept being filled as the old fluid is emptied into the 5 gallon blue bucket(in your video). 2) Mercedes goes thru 10x 1 liter Pentosin CHF-11S hydraulic fluid for proper flush. 3) Change the 3 micron cartridge filter in the hydraulic fluid reservoir. This procedure must be done every 30k miles. I own the following: 1) 2009 SL550 with AMG package(car only has under 18k miles) 2) Foxwell NT510 Elite scanner tool ($125) that does the rodeo test so no need for an assistant. 3) 20 liters of Pentosin CHF-11S. Got it for $210 thru Amazon which is about $11 per liter.....way way cheaper than $25 or $35 per liter. Good for 2 flushes uses 10 liters per flush.
