    Great time to replace the ac condenser if its old. Thats what brought me here. Great video!

    Free clue. JB WELD usually doesn’t work under pressure. And that’s our Monkey Wrench moment for Sunday.

    You make it look so easy. Thanks for the step by step. Looking forward to what's next for the W126.

    nice one Mike. Just discovered both my June 1987 W201 190E radiator and overflows have pinhole leaks in them. I also drug home a 1979 E21 320i to use for a parts car for my other 79. The 190 needs most of the interior switches replaced.

    I replaced mine once and a day later without thinking put my hand over the nipple leaning over to look at the engine .. (made up some cuss words) had to tap it and epoxy a metal nipple in its place!! Its held for years!

    As always, thank for the vids! :)

    Ok, Mike - now I know the secret to your success as a Master Mercedes Mechanic! I turned my volume way up and finally heard what you mumble before you grab the 10-mm wrench, as you perform the sign of the cross; "Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini" ("I may need help in the name of the Lord"). Now that is an unfair advantage over other channels who don't have friends in high places.. 😏

    Mike, if I'm not mistaken, at a radiator shop they could have replaced only that top leaky part.

    • @19mati67
      @19mati67 4 роки тому +2

      If it was me, I would have changed all the hoses as well, at least you would know, that you won't have any surprises in the near future.

  • @garycook2355
    @garycook2355 4 роки тому

    for j b weld to work correctly the area must be totally dry. best to use a heat gun before applying. but a new radiator is good too. that way you don't have to worry about internal deterioration.

    Another great MWM video. I'm surprised Mercedes would sink so low to having plastic radiator tanks. I would think all aluminum would be the choice for their top of the line sedan.

  • @russellharris3423

    Your pronunciation of the word " radiator " is the same as across the pond. Hope that helps, with regards from across the pond!

    • @Sean006
      @Sean006 4 роки тому +1

      Aye lad....although we do sometimes foreshorten it to 'Rad' (as in 'RADical')....'Me rads got a gurt big ole in it'. But the normal pronunciation on this side of the pond is indeed 'radiator' as in 'Radiation'.

    Hi
    I liked your videos
    I have mercedes 560 sel
    I changed both fuel pumps,fuel filter but still the car is not running properly.
    It starts after 20 crunks and than switch off.
    The acceleration is not reaching to 5.
    After 5 minutes it's switched of automatically.
    Please reply me what is the problems.
    Thanks

    • @MonkeyWrenchMike
      @MonkeyWrenchMike  4 роки тому

      What about the fuel accumulator. It’s there by the pumps and filter.

    • @shabazghazunfer9586
      @shabazghazunfer9586 4 роки тому

      Hi
      Thanks for replying brother
      I changed the filter
      And the accumulator is old
      I don't know how to check accumulator.
      It's work to put the pressure to the fuel.
      Right.
      Or can I clean the accumulator.
      Brother can I get your contact no.or what's up.
      Please send me
      Thank a lot
