    I bought a loaded 2024 Subaru Outback Limited XT back in Sep ‘23 (below MSRP!!!), and it’s the first time I’ve EVER been in a Subaru-I’m in love! I literally keep adaptive cruise control on all the time, especially in heavy traffic, where I’ve got another layer of protection in case I’m looking at something off to the side at the same time the car in front of me slams on its breaks. Yes, that has happened more than once. So I like looking at things all around me. 😂 Your AMG is a gorgeous car, and I’m thoroughly enjoying this series (as I have all of your others).

He even bought a scrapped engine (MG Midget 1000 cc) to teach me how to rebuild it. I now use a Merc E230 and so whenever you service a Merc or an Audi, it feels there're some connections. I used to own an A6 2.4L. Happy videoing. Gracia.

    I’ve ordered so many of these kits and Alex is spot on. This is the best ceramic coating I’ve ever seen. I paid an expert to do my mustang in the beginning and I didn’t wanna pay that much money again, it was crazy, expensive so I followed Alex’s video. I did it the same exact way step by step, and I ended up doing our other two cars and the sad part is they look way better than the professional did. The quality of the ceramic is crazy good so I recommended as well.

    In the NW of the UK an Italian tune up normally means talking it for a heavy drive after a service but the Italian tune up is thrashing the engine to remove some carbon deposits or blockages
    If you hear after a service
    It's still not quite right or the emissions are a little out
    Give it the Italian tune up
    It means drive you car hard at high revs to clean things out and rid it's self of granny mode from driving too gentle all the time

    Stock wheels for sure, and get rid of those tacky LED side markers. The steering wheel isn''t my favourite either, but it was probably pretty damn expensive, maybe its a Carbontastic wheel, you could reach out to them and see if you could swap it for something a little less gaudy? As always another great LSC video, thanks for all the hard work Alex and Max.

I can only imagine how much better that sound would be if I were to install some nice performance aftermarket Intake and exhaust system. But I'm happy enough just keeping it stock and driving it everyday. It's a blast

    The EGR valve on Mercedes can fail and stay open during idle, which causes a poor running engine at start-up. It can sound like some ticking or a misfire and possibly throw codes. The engine will correct itself under throttle when the EGR valve is supposed to be open and redirecting exhaust back into the engine. Just a thought if you're still having issues down the line.

    The piston with less carbon could be a headgasket issue (and also the cause of white smoke while cold, the smoke looked like H2O, not lasting blue oil smoke). Edit: now watched the full video, but I also know headgasket issues can be tricky to diagnose. Time will tell. 👍
