hello victor, I have a question, i have a 1990 mercedes benz 300e, its a no start problem, yet back then it would stall. there is fuel coming from the fuel pump, and into the fuel regulator, but not to the injectors, is it a bad distributor? none of them have fuel when i turn the key and push on the plate of the throttle body. was this the problem you had? thank you
I have a similar issue with rough ideal on my 91 500sl. But my fuel distributor does not have a bleeder valve that can be adjusted with the allen wrench. It's a pin like inside that I cant adjust. Can you tell me if this is normal
Victor I have a big problem. I put some bad fuel in my car my ML320 and made it a couple blocks and it sputtered it off and started running really rough and haven't been able to start it since. I have 50 lb of pressure in the fuel line coming from where I hooked up the gauge under the hood so I think the pump is okay, but all the bottom dash lights are on and it just cranks but it doesn't it doesn't turn over it doesn't fire up. It's also not throwing any codes. And it was running perfectly fine starting perfectly fine prior to putting that fuel in. I'm stranded right now in a town where I know barely anybody and I'm almost out of money and I'm wondering if you could maybe help me out and email me what you think might be a solution that won't cost me buying parts and just trying different things. I did have a injector fuse blown and I did have an ECU fuse blown and I replace them but it won't start. It just turns and turns and turns and turns. And there are no Mercedes dealerships or anything like that where I live so it's a real bitch to get parts. If you have any ideas could you please email me at bevco22@gmail.com sir and give me a push in the right direction? Thank you very much.
If you had fuses blown there might be some serious electrical issue. Bad fuel could have been a coincidence. If ECU died you can't just put in used one since all ECUs and key are programmed and married with each other. All need to be replaced. If you have Star Daignostic laptop I would check for DAS codes and see if DAS authorizes engine start. Or maybe something wrong with actual key. Sounds like DAS or other electrical issue. Can't say without seeing the car
Sound like you are pissed off that someone exposed you for using the crappy original diaphram, i wouldnt let you work on my lawn mower let alone something as complicated as a mercedes benz by the way have you ever changed a diaphram on a briggs and stratton 4 stroke lol
Since your video we have done over 41000 plus dollars in rebuilds. Some do ask about your video's but realize that a company can have a very few village idiots trying to commit extortion. We have only had a very few 3 to 4 complaints out of thousands. If a grand mow can buy her grand son a rebuild and him put it on in a few hours and have it running, why can't a village idiot. I would not let you work on my wheelbarrow.
As a company, you really should be proactive in making sure that you are representing yourself properly. Taking the high ground, and stating that "we have done hundreds of rebuilds without any problems, and we are sorry that V had an issue with his.", and then perhaps work with V to figure out what might have gone wrong.
it looks to me like he knows a bit more about what he is doing than you...as a mercedes mechanic myself (I restore classic mercedes as a hobby too) But i see this.. As a company you have just failed in the Human Relation department. If someone is this good and knows how to do this, my thoughts would be that you should work with him and see if he can help you out. Use his knowledge to make your company better. Now on top of this...touting your business since the video makes me think that maybe you have made this number up... So in reflection. You have lost business...period. Mainly because of your idiotic comments on all of his videos.
Victor is awesome and this is a very clean car. Life goals.
You’re a genius victor. Glad you are helping so many people with these nice cars.
Good job. I will be fixing my 500sl this summer in Holland. Haven't been started for two years. You rock😁
Dude you Da Man! I have learned a lot just by watching this video. I have a 91 560SEC and an 89 560SEL.
Nice work.
Priceless video. Thank you Victor.

Victor and guys, would it be the same procedure for a 300SL ?
What are the symptoms of a failing fuel distributor
