read the Manuel before opening the hood ...... Almost broke the front hood
Luckily I didn’t 😉
A joy to watch you work , lucky customer.
@@timodonnell5667 thank you! My customer I very happy, in this instance it’s me 😀 but I always strive for quality and transparency for my customers
The wheels on the 560 SEC are nice. Were those the original wheels?
@@stillsearching1284 those are 17 inch AMG Monoblock 1 wheels - the original wheels would be the 16 inch “Gullideckel”
My Aunt had a champagne metallic 560 SEL. It was awesome!
Just buy FACELIFT and your problems are solved.... for so many years i have almost none problems with electronics, engines are bulletproof, 5g tronic is beast.. just buy facelift - im pretty sure almost none of the parts from prefacelift are same - buttons, seats, modules, fuses, navi, even the trims are different and the whole exterior... so when you look reviews dont compare prefacelift with facelift it is very important!
17z weight?
🤣 17z is the caliper designation
it’s such a perfect car though it’s not bad at all
What is the engine/ignition control in the car?
M103 inline 6 with Stock CIS KJet
My experience with perpendicular parking in my 2008 smart is that police don't know what to do with that practice so they just ignore it to avoid having to deal with it. The later model smarts have even tighter turning radius.
That makes sense
It should be half the tax of a 4 seat car to get people to use less road space. The gearbox was to improve fuel consumption of a manual without having to shift.
Next episode when???? nice videos guys, i wish u some luck to fixe it
🙏🏼 thank you ! We’ve been tinkering and documenting, new video probably in 8 days
@@AutoAfflicted thanks for the reply, greetings from Morocco! I will be waiting for the video.
one of the best reviews, thank you
Thank you for checking it out
A lot of terms for cars today have origins in horse-drawn carriages. Examples are like coupe, sedan, landau, cabriolet, phaeton, brougham. A spider was a very small open carriage with big spindly wooden wheels. You can picture how it can kind of look like a spider. So the carriage word got transferred over to very small open cars. How do I know this? My very first car was a Fiat 850 Spider. I know it has kind of a Zoolander vibe today but way back in the 70’s when I was a teenager, my girlfriend thought it was pretty bitchin’.
Fiat spider was a cool car
Two clips in the front grill actually unlock the hood. Why was that missed
I was just uneducated
@@AutoAfflicted we all are at something😅
I am typing this as my 2003 S55 AMG sits in my garage doing what it does best (being a paperweight). Virtually all of the problems mentioned I have experienced. The PSE failed about two months ago (I swear these systems must have a 20-year timer) and I can no longer lock my doors or open the trunk without using the emergency key. The soft-closing doors were all working with the exception of the drivers side door (which was intermittent). I was having problems with the battery suddenly dying and, after replacing the alternator (the alternator was the true cause after it finally died), I no longer have that issue. I was experiencing weird dash error messages [ABS, BAS, ESP, etc.] at one time; I had to overhaul the EIS [electronic ignition system] to repair this issue (which also fixed my issue with non-functioning windshield wipers). And now, the ABC suspension. I replaced two struts and a hydraulic line, thinking everything was okay. The ABC failed on me two weeks ago (on the highway), leaving me having to get it towed back home (thank goodness for AAA). There it sits, half an inch off the ground. I should be contemplating rolling it off a cliff, but I'm still considering a coilover suspension. The power is insane; there are few vehicles that can compete with it even today.
What you’ve described is the “W220 Life”, We know this pain and we love our S600 for everything that it is … until the next time it fails us.
Owned mine for 10 years no serious problems. Keep up the basic maintenance 👍 Get compliments all the time. Luv my Smart Car ❤
I have a 2013 Fortwo. I LOVE this car. We have driven it all through Washington, Oregon and Northern California, the length of the coast and well inland on winding, hilly roads as well as a few thousand miles of freeway travel. Never a problem. Saved hundreds of dollars in fuel costs compared to a regular sized car. The only things I absolutely hate about the car is that the flash drive port is in the glove compartment. I have to pull over to change the drive/music because it is dangerous to do it while in motion. The other thing is the rear view mirror being too big and too low. You have to duck to look around it when taking a right turn, on a right curve especially on a hill. The mirror could be narrower and higher up. Aside from that, I love it. Also, I paid $6500 for the car 5 years ago. Even with mileage, wear and tear and added age, I can easily trade it in or sell it now for $9000/$11000.
That’s interesting about the aux port and the rear view mirror, I had not noticed those issues.
quality informative video. Deserves more love! Shoutout to all the other aspiring drifters !
Give me a LS any day
If it is hard to start when hot the first thing you should check is the crank position sensor... Should never be hard to start under any circumstances.
I'm 5 foot 11 and I at best smart for 2 passion 2013 I've got 97K it's the most fun car and I've got more compliments and it's maintenance it's free out there just keep that in mind everybody just get your oils changed at the right interval and I also tow it behind my motor home great toe vehicle flat tow, No electric, gas
I have 2008 convertible, smart car and I love it
those are some crazy door speakers lol
Full custom pods from the 90s
Water duh
He was being facetious
It was a oil fire so if he put water on it it will make it bigger
Try gas

thank you
Which turbo and what kind of exhaust housing and which exhaust manifold do you drive and is there the OEM camshaft in it greetings from germany Love your CE
Thank you! All the answer to your questions are in my build series ❤️🇩🇪 ua-cam.com/play/PLmTetjzBbZLnz5eOgBMGZrGsGeCn-H0NR.html&si=nagjhNCNa7xDj99c
Great videos seems like the production quality is getting better keep up all the hard work!
🙏🏼 I appreciate you! Always trying to improve.. I shoot and edit all on my iPhone to streamline my process.
This gave me such a comfort that I am not alone 😂- I have this love-hate relationship with my 2002 S55 AMG - mine is currently awaiting ABC hose (second one now) from FCP EURO - although I think it will be back in running condition - it is a matter of time before something else breaks. I am a DIY guy so, at the beginning it was fun browsing and finding ways to fix things - but this is growing old on me now and my wallet is feeling it. My GS430 is the real deal and daily driver nowadays.
Yes we do love the w220 just as much as we fear it. We’ve discovered that the ABC hard fittings are actually 3/8th rather than 10mm that every one thinks .. so you can get any line repaired at a hydraulic hose shop however they won’t use the odd German crimps that you currently see. So you could rebuild the whole abc lines and replace many with hard line - look for our next video coming out soon to see what we’ve done with our S600 ABC - we fixed it for $10 and some $17 a quart pentosin (lube guard brand)
At what point will u need to upgrade to a bigger fuel pump when running turbo
That’s a good question that I have a roundabout answer for…. I don’t know the exact psi of boost that requires the upgrade but once you can no longer achieve the desired fueling by turning up the EHA valve and or using larger injectors, at that point you may need the bigger fuel pump… but 10 psi is gonna give you about 300whp and that’s no problem for the stock pump.. once you’re over 12 psi you’re gonna have more problems than just fuel as the drive line guibo is likely to get shredded as you get closer to 400whp
It's not an automatic. The reason it cuts power while shifting is because it is an automated manual transmission, also known as a robotized manual transmission, is a transmission with a clutch. Just like a manual, you don't get power while shifting gears. Hence why you lose power while the Smart car transmission system shifts. Took this car on a road trip across Europe with a friend. Visited 19 countries over two months.
Looks fantastic in black with the snow background. I got one of these about 3 months ago in titan grey. A 955 turbo. I can vouch for everything this gentleman has said. Drives like a Porsche. Lovely torque even below 3000rpm. Above 3000rpm is where the real fun begins 😂😂
Big fave! I sold this one but am fiending for another
I don't care how much power it don't have. It is still after over 40 years, my favorite car! Drove one once that was a single valve injected lowest HP of them all but still my fave. Those Dino lines homage never disappoint.
Agreed! Power is not a concern, it’s all body lines and vibes
Aye waiting to see the parts list for the back too
I’m not going that deep, the back has some drilled slotted rotors with brembo pads
@@AutoAfflicted Yeah, did a bit of digging... forgot about the rear calipers being the mechanical e-brake portion... appears the allroad v8 calipers and rotors are the beefiest stock option... I was hoping to find a bracket which would allow re-use of the front calipers at the rear after upgrading (single piston version on the 2.7t).. Great video!! I might just throw on the 2.0t Q5 brembo dual piston calipers on the allroad stock rotors... go from 60mm single piston, to dual 40mm pistons (on both sides, vs one)... First, to upgrade the rears though. Thanks for the videos and replies! Cheers
@@AutoAfflicted the factory rear v8 rotors and caliipers setup have vented rotors btw
@CaseyD-mu5kl if I were to do it again I’d go 17z cause you still get 6 pistons and can stick with stock size rotors… less added weight… but the 17z I have done have Porsche logos on em
This car is a Mechanics Dream and a non-Mechanics Nightmare
Agreed , if your running to a mechanic for every repair this car will bankrupt you
These cars don't perform best at Full throttle (100/100) they do best around (25-30/100)
That’s sound like old man Benz throttle
The trick for locking the doors manually is lock the Rear door last because you can't lock the Front doors while they're open but you can lock the rear doors while they're open
Yes a good option
If you need air ride suspension look up arnott incorporated . Life time warranty .
I own 2 both fantastic. My s500 had veen incredibly reliable
Looks fantastic on the road. Appears to go pretty good too. I love this car. Keep us posted...
Looks it’s time to make another detailed video about the turbo coupe as I just took a deposit to sell it on … so happy and sad at the same time … definitely will be getting another w124 in the future
@@AutoAfflicted definitely make a video on it before you let it go
I love this car Let the adventure begin
Such a cool van
lol I actually drug a tree out of the road with mine 06 ctts
That’s awesome! Tree reference is from the top gear review of the Cayenne where the drug a massive tree down the road
@@AutoAfflicted yep that was me. A huge tree fell up my family property blocking the road. I drove over top of it drilled a hole in it put a I hook in there, tied it up and then drove it into the middle of the property. Everybody was like you did what with your Porsche🤣
@robbio225 that’s the best!
Looks like its pulling harder!
Yes, definitely a different beast with the lower compression from the MLS headgasket
They didn't make a Rabbit GTI in 1981.
Mine needs paint job, and full interior restoration
This car was a pleasure and stress to work on, 50 year old interior parts ….
That's a gorgeous long body Benz .
You should see this s600 , so nice
Love it man.
Always evolving
You’re not allowed to park the 600 outside !!! 😞
I washed it today
Nice stable of cars there. Older euros and american pick up truck. Thats what i am aiming for
@@TheCluelessEnthusiast 🙏🏼 we fixed the S600 and I cruised that home last night, can’t wait to cruise the c30 dually all lowered
@@AutoAfflicted awesome! I've noticed a trend with mercedes v12s. Their reliability is basically the never ending story. Drive, break down, fix, drive, break down, fix, lol. I still want one though. They sound amazing with aftermarket exhaust setups
@TheCluelessEnthusiast yes the NA more than the turbo makes a beautiful sound - I guess we’re gonna order some tubing and remove the mufflers on ours
@@AutoAfflicted i hope so. I'd love to hear the noise it will make if you do that
so true 🤗
