    Nice work - that car is a beauty. You might regret selling it sometime!

      Most likely, I am just happy I made it a reliable ride for someone else, keeping the car on the streets for a little bit longer.

    Great video, had a w201 2.3 and had the same issue, fan clutch went out and caused a blown head gasket. They run 80-100 usually and it’s normal but if it reaches near 120 then it’s definitely a problem, you can do a few modifications so that it will always cool better and stay around 80, bypass the clutch fan to where it turns on everytime the car is running and get a thermostat that will open up faster

    Using copper anti-seize make the rubbers to swoll up, better use brake grease. And i Would recommend to plug the egr, and clean out the intake and boostpipe, and drive it kinda hard. Because the car have been sitting for a Long time probably

    Good job and a nice car, i guess very unusual in the US? Another thing, are you sure the seats are leather, mercedes had something called mb-tex, looks more like that to be honest?

      You very well could be right. I sure was fooled if so

    The wheels are NOT bare aluminum! They are painted in a specific silver paint that is used for wheels by most brands. You can get a can of it from Wurth "Silver Wheel Paint". And the reason for the "brake dust" gathering around the center cap, is because its NOT actually brake dust at all! Its actually wheel bearing grease leaking out from the wheel bearing. Which happens to be right behind the center cap.

    The white smoke could have just been the fluids that were poured into the cylinder burning off

    • @ImChrisDeDecker
      @ImChrisDeDecker  10 днів тому

      I think so, but the white smoke has been persistent from the beginning. I think, perhaps, the injectors should be clean.

      After we move back to Florida, should be picking something else up. I am thinking about a Tacoma that we may keep for a while as an off-road rig.

    Huh. You didn't double your "profit" - you doubled your overall money.
    And since you bought it for $1800, bought parts and supplies, and sold it for $3000, you didn't even double it.
    And "debris" is pronounced with a silent "s" as it is a french word.
