In this video, the Twin-Turbo V12 saga continues. I figured out the insane issue with the hydraulic ABC suspension and all was great. Then bad things happen and the first drive was a total disaster. If you have any idea what the new issue is then drop a comment. PLEASE!

My S55 had an Accumulator fail and did a similar thing. The Accumulator has a diaphragm with 3000psi Nitrogen on one side to act as a shock absorber. When they fail they can send material into the line. I got lucky and found the piece sticking out when I replaced the accumulators. One way to tell you have had an accumulator fail is fluid will push out of the resevoir.
I havenot seen you testing all the actuators/solenois for action AND blockage...maybe the coils are open or fluid passages on solenoids are plugged in. or worst the suspension ecu is damaged and not actuating the valves...
Run the engine and crack the bleed nipple on the back until air spits out and new fluid comes out. Make sure the system doesn't go dry, this is where you need an apprentice on a ladder for 30 minutes gently topping up the fluid
Did you blow the front to rear lines out from both ends?? Could be a blockage which you moved blowing from one end and it pushed the fluid out. Good luck videos are excellent 👍👍
I noticed one of the lines didn’t blow through straight away, it looked as if it jumped and them spurted! 😂😂
do you think now it could be a electrical problem with the system like the solenoids' to the back section not working .
this is not a criticism but do you think you might have got side tracked with thinking it is a blockage and over looked the electrical side ?
16:50 the way the dust fell off the muffler and flew over the camera was quite magical
Lots of people use stills from this kind of shot as proof of miniature aliens, etc....
I thought that was the dream sequence.
I liked it too, totally unplanned but as you say magical.
There's the problem right there. The ABC system has lost it's magic pixie dust.
I was thinking the same magical!
No youtuber has ever deserved a like more... such patience and commitment! I feel for you, you'll get there in the end.
He deserves all the viewership on this. Hope he makes good money off these couple of videos vs the time he spent. Can’t imagine the hours and hours just talking to other people, reading, the diagnostic back and forth….geez
Also, how satisfying was it to watch him removing that crap from the line!?
Yes, yes, yes....Wonderfully stated!!!!
He is rarlly man but also i know youtuper like him but they are not too much
Alex just started a new trend. Squatted Benz
There should be an a button for that
Does your Benz even squat bro?
Carolina Squat on Benz. I never thought I’d see one .
Shouldn't you be working on a video???
@Richard Hunting Airmatic is effortless compared to this, though
“Probably ruining something, i dont care”. We all felt that.
This is exactly how I feel at work with travel nurses and FEMA nurses…
Our customer service has vastly deteriorated due to these nurses being soooooooo god damn lazy and not answering any call bells and literally leaving for break right before their patient crashes…
Corporate has decided to come down and have us take a “Customer Service” class… and the whole time we are all like… “we don’t care… we don’t care anymore. Why do you give this class to the nurses y’all are paying $120 an hour”
🌚🌚🌚
@@deandalapanda It's like this in the NHS. All you hear is "it's time for my break, it's time for my break, I can't do it get the doctor to do it". Fkin lazy. Most of them can't be bothered to get out of their chair to do something properly and spend more time justifying why don't have to do something than actually remembering they're there to care for someone in need. Their handovers are absolutely awful as well. You could be 11 hours 59 mins into a 12 hour shift and if you ask some of these nurses about the patient they're supposed to be looking after you cannot believe how fast they respond with "I don't know the patient, I just met them today". Oh, really? So what have you been doing for the last 12 hours?
Don't even get me started on the ones that don't even speak English properly...
The amount of patience you have in these situations is admirable. You’ll get it sorted yet!
Exactly... Alex, your patience is outstanding.
V12 engine and ABC suspension, the "best" combination for headaches. If an ex MB tech is having such a hard time working on this car, can you imagine what a regular Joe would go thru trying to get this car fixed at an indie mechanic or worse, the dealer?
Smfh I drive a tow truck and u just gave me anxiety
They design it for a regular guy not be able to work on it. They probably don't intend for you to fix. Only the dealer
Aren't alot of Indy mechanics ex techs?
The next generation of cl65 and s65 AMG is so much better to work on..
I live near lake. I would probably dump it there.
The last bit of this video and the raw emotion is all too familiar . I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who often feels like this. Even the greatest like Alex can be “defeated” My confidence is 1000% you will figure it out .
Holy crap!! THE SAGA CONTINUES‼️ This is better content than any Kardashian show or other "reality TV" episodes!! I'm praying to the AMG Gods! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🤘
Haha you mean Satan?
Alex, this is some of the best automotive content I've seen on UA-cam. Most channels only show the wins. They don't show the long and frustrating process of working on complex systems or that 3 hours spent on a single broken bolt or bent electrical pin.
Exactly. The fails are what we learn the most from, not the insta-wins after replacing one common failure part. Alex is such a good guy, I hate to see him disappointed after so much time and effort. I can't imagine the pressure to succeed, since this is how he makes his full-time living now. I'm sure he'll figure it out.
Don’t give up, my suggestion is get a schematic of the hydraulic system so you know what lines are activated and when. Then get a set of pressure gages and T them into the lines and trace each circuit and manifold with your pressure gages till you find the circuit that is not reading the correct pressure. You partially traced your circuits to see if they were plugged, what you really need is to know what circuit is not pressurized. It’s a solenoid, manifold, or other switching circuit that’s not getting pressurized. An accumulator self destructing like that will have a lot more pieces than what you found. I expect there are pieces of accumulator lodged in a solenoid or spool valve.
Yep that is the best way to systematically figure it out, put your own line off the side with a gauge to see exactly where you stop getting pressure.
Having worked on control systems for the last 30 years, when something at that pressure fails, crap goes everywhere you don’t want it too or where you never thought it could go.
This series has confirmed that I do not want one of the v12 mercedes as a project.
I like sanity. It's nice.
The updated 07+ v12 amgs kept getting better and are significantly more reliable than these first couple years of the 65 cars. Still complicated and expensive, but having worked on them they're very stout when maintained well.
I'd love to have a Mercedes V12 some day, the ABC suspension I could do without
This car is the definition of when Scotty Kilmer says an "Endless Money Pit!"
Love the smoking gun and victory with the front, you may feel defeated but don't forget that you got the front sorted. Move on to something else and come back with fresh eyes and I know you'll get it. Looking forward to what's next with it
There are few things more satisfying than troubleshooting a problem and fixing it. This aspect of most cars is something that has been lost with the advent of all the complicated systems in modern cars. I enjoy watching a master (no matter the format) at his chosen craft.
I totally agree. I was a mechanic for 25 years started in 1980 you had to think logically in them days no computers to help, just good old fashion knowledge!! Shared by mouth, ow the good old days!!! 😄😄😄😄
Agreed, unfortunately with a car like this there may be only a half dozen people in the world that truly know that system to diagnose the fault he's having
I‘m a headhunter but I love to work on my cars, because it is so satisfying. Much more than my business.
@@DAN1E77 ya all you had then was a carburetor and a distributor easy as 123
@@serbia991 yep. A service kit was, plugs points condenser air filter oil filter and oil 👍👍 maybe a cap and rotor too. 😁😁
Definetly the best video series on UA-cam this year! So real, un-sugatcoated. I am always excited when I see a new CL65 video come out.
Bro a feel you , especially at the end , when you get to the I just don’t care point , it’s frustration, sadness , anger , and confusion all in one .
Replace those electrical parts in the back. It happened to my s55 amg and I was able to fix it by replacing the electrical parts on those block. I pretty much swap the electrical parts in the front to back to test it first before I fixed it with junk yard parts. Just a suggestion sir. No pressure going to the back on mine, Same issue as yours. I meant the solenoids on the block
I agree with this guy. If the mechanical/hydraulic stuff is good, move to electronic stuff👍
Yup, worked on airplanes for years and when the hydraulics were fine, we moved on to electrical solenoids.
Absolutely
This.
+1
What I like to do for this issue is to take a little draino and put it into the ABC Fluid reservoir and it usually does a good job not only clearing these hydraulic lines but also conditioning them
I out Mtn Dew in my ABC, merica
Heck water will work just fine until everything is sorted too. No need to waste that expensive oil until it's good and ready. 😉
Lmao
I don't know what I'd do without you
Don't be a hater Sam, lol
This has been my favorite series’s cause it shows the mechanics Murphy’s law. Instead of everything going great. I’ve had a few vehicles give me a long term diagnostic hassle and people need to see it happens to the best of us. You got this man, great work!
Actually makes his channel and vids more “Legit”. Shows the failure that ones with working on cars and when you finally get it right, the joy!
i would double check those solenoids, even though though they're energising they could be mechanically knackered or the lower one could be stuck on and locking out the lift one
Alex, thanks so much for this series. It has been heartbreaking from viewer's perspective, as we can all see how much of your time and emotion goes into a build like this. I know that you will get it figured out and will be celebrating with you in spirit when you have. Until then, keep up the great work and l absolutely love the channel.
Alex I know this car is the bane of your existence....but I love these videos and secretly hope this problem child leads to unlimited content.
I know what you mean. I'd personally love to watch this series. Especially if it wasn't me going through all the issues, haha
"Maybe I should get a reliable Audi" That was freaking awesome!!!! Lol
Or just buy an Toyota/Lexus :D
That made me laugh because I have an Audi S4 and it’s always broken haha
A reliable Audi would be one that’s 1/18 scale and sits on your shelf...
@@Lonnie91a you must not have a B8/B8.5...mine has been rock solid 😎🤙
I think every car guy feels this mans pain. We've all been there. I know you'll get it sorted! Good luck man! As a recent AMG owner and new to that world, this project has kept be glued. Keep at it!
Amazing to see you making these final tweaks - your builds are a great reminder to everyone that no matter what your level of experience, you can come up against a problem where the only way through is pure perseverance. Always worth it when you get past it tho
Trace the “cold” fluid from the back of the car to where it becomes “ hot” (fully pressurized). That’s likely where you still have blockage. I would guess in a valve block up front…. Just guessing…. Good luck. I respect your tenacity….
@Steve M - Non contact (laser) thermometer.
It could be front one block up
Man im just waiting for the day he fixes it and has a huge smile on his face, I feel you pain Alex when you have done almost everything you can imagine and spent 6+ months and it still doesnt work
Yes! This is one of, if not the, best UA-cam series so far. It's afternoon for me, but the day is complete! #AlexAlmighty.
I agree! This is one of the best car repair videos I have ever seen. 😁
I try not to watch all the time so I can binge watch and get stoned! Fantastic channel....
Alex, I've followed this car since Hoovie had it up for sale 9 months ago. It's been a journey to say the least, I'm glad you finally got it on the road, even if it was THE MOST dejected 1st drive I've ever seen on UA-cam.
I really feel for you Alex. I was on the spanner's for 20+ years but all low end motors not high end Merc AMG's but I've never come across such a hard to diagnose problem as this hydraulic suspension. Glad I only had to work on Land Rover air suspension ( my own lol)
Hi Alex,As an 83 year old retired auto engineer & Benz collector I admire your tenacity to never give up!! Is it possible one of the solenoid valves is not getting the correct signal or voltage etc as you have checked everything else . i am glad it is you & not me!! GOOD LUCK & best wishes. Richard Turner, Bargara Qld Australia.
Your content as always is so alluring and I'm so invested, I absolutely love your patience and method and you do not miss out or edit steps unless it was absolutely needed, your videos are genuinely tutorials but with a well warm welcome of humour, cannot wait to see your other projects in future 😊
The look of frustration when you went for your test drive, the look of defeat was in your eyes. I know you will regroup and eventually sort it out, and if not you have content for years 😉. Good luck, keep up the great channel!
Check the pressure limiting valve block in the front left wheel well - near the A pillar
Man, watching this, I literally felt the pain myself, as if it were my car. You do show a remarkable amount of patience and composure for such a problematic car.
Keep at it, you'll get it done!
The pain and frustration is so palpable, thank you for sharing. I'm very impressed how you know what every tube and pipe does. Looking at all that piping I can compare it to one of those rocket engines straight out of SpaceX
Dude! I watch all your videos and love them all, but this one had me feeling just as defeated as you looked at the end! You’re so freaking awesome at what you do and saying that from the LazyBoy of a DIY retired military mechanic who loves tinkering and fixing his own rides, don’t ever give up! I understand the frustration, but you’re almost there! I will say though, if I’m ever inclined to get a early model CL65 AMG, I might have to think about it first! 😂😂😂. I love my Black 2009 350 Sport and love doing most of the work myself. In the future, maybe you can be my knowledge source if there’s anything that could trip me up.
Excellent content. You’re absolutely awesome. Your passion and skill are bar none.
Thanks Stewart!
@@LegitStreetCars I have a 2001 S55 for sale. 93K miles. black on black. you wanna buy? its in Gulf Breeze Florida on Pensacola Craigslist
You're such good detective who never gives up. Plus, great technical info and tutorials for the rest of us. Well Done!
You saved me long before this episode. Your CL65 spec has my 'car-guy profile' all over it. Champagne taste on a beer budget my favorite uncle would admonish me...Jumped eyes wide open, instead to an XK8, and never looked back. Your adventure with this is riveting
IMO xk8 is the most gorgeous coupe ever made
@@jaromor8808 certainly in the post-Viet Nam War era
Subbed after seeing you posting about buying this on Hoovie's. Followed these diaries avidly- thank you for your persistance, it's so frustrating the way certain channels never finish the projects.
Stick with it- good luck!!!
Keep your chin up! We’re rooting for you! The frustration is real and this is why we’re watching. Persistence is the secret weapon of greatness!
As a CL55K owner, I need you to solve this. I love mine and my ABC works perfectly. I see all the pain your is giving you and some people urging you to give up on the ABC. Please keep going! That accumulator must have sent crap everywhere so logic tells me there is a plug somewhere in the back… hence flow is not happening. You can and will find it!
I love love these longer videos. Really let's us go along with you deeper into the journey and it doesn't feel chaotic or rushed like some other channels with rapid cuts and we are somewhat lost or just not really invested in what is going on. Of course ai think your channel appeals to older adults with longer attention spans.
Longer format is where it's at!
Alex you'll eventually figure this out. The good thing is it makes good UA-cam content
I didn't see a video if you had resolved the suspension issue or not. Just a thought, could you get the fluid hot and use you temp. gun and find the area where the cold fluid meets the hot fluid and dive into that component(s), could be the blockage, restriction or failure point. Just an idea I had after watching your video. You are very patient in your diagnosis' of problems, I am very impressed!
Alex , don’t worry about the suspension, I’m sure you’ll figure it out, I’m just glad you make content about the up’s and. Downs of your journeys so people won’t be afraid to try for themselves, keep it up man.
Those 43 min go by fast, it’s insane how your content is seamless, I’m glued in
I hope someday you colaborate with Sreten from M539 Restorations. Yours channels are the best for Mercedes and BMW V12 content. Cheers friend!
Oh I'm planning a trip to Germany for sure. We are in talks now! Love that channel!
@@LegitStreetCars Oh yea!
Can't wait!!!!
Oh sweet!!!
@@LegitStreetCars Oh yes, music to my ears!
Since I found this channel, I've been following the Mercedes CL 65. You are a brave technician and you will eventually find out the solution for that rear end. Never give up.👍👏💪
I saw it immediately. You messed the thread when trying open it with the impact gun. The whole pipe turned until its threaded end made contact with your pliers. Great channel I love to watch your MB and BMW videos.
Man sorry for the headache but such a beautiful car. I like how you get excited when you find something that can potentially fix the issue. Can tell your a passionate Technician. Like your videos
We honestly hope you’re okay we can tell this was exhausting for you, but it was entertaining and very helpful for us, so thank you for your hard work and take some time off to recover Lol. Best wishes for UK.
Indeed, every single video of the CL65 have been so epic!
Alex, you are truly an inspiration to us all! Your patience and resilience is refreshing. The last part of the video where you are basically just done, resonates with a lot of us fellow automotive enthusiasts. However most of don't have anywhere near the amount of knowledge, skills and experience you have. Keep up the good work! You'll get her done!
I get a ton of satisfaction from watching your videos. I appreciate your determination and the effort you put in these videos. Much love from Saudi Arabia.
You definitely need the fluid topped off and the air bled from the system. I'm not an expert but I work in the hydraulic industry. Air is your enemy, similar to brake lines.
Also, solenoid valves don't last forever. The valve internals could also be packed with debris. It doesn't take much to block up a valve, pretty sensitive
If I understood correctly there are screens before the solenoids, so that should stop anything large enough to clog them... at least in theory which isn't always reality.
Alex, Your content is so wonderful! You share your struggles and we watch, learn, and are entertained. Thank you again for this and all your other videos.
All hail the algorithm. Your stuff is my new replacement for Saturday morning cartoons.
Cartoons replaced with cartunes.
Thanks for posting all of this nightmare video. It’s all painfully familiar. I learned so much about ABC from years of fighting with it. Good to see I wasn’t the only one struggling.
Really glad I switched to coilovers.
The “Daddy, can we get ICECREAM” too cute
Ya I wonder if she got her ice cream haha
Lol yeah. But the cl needs some too. She's a complex mistress by the looks of it
U know dam sure she got that ice cream
He would have fixed it, if he went to get ice cream.
Alex, I hope you get to 1M subscribers soon. You deserve it. You have helped us with your knowledge and information and you have helped others who are in desperate need of a car. That says alot of the person. Thank you. Th
Congrats Alex! After switching to sprinters, I STILL have nightmares about ABC. Just be thankful you have the skill to do this repair yourself. Can't even imagine the price tag on this job at the dealer.
It reminds me of the time when I was fixing the hydraulic 4x4 system of my alfa romeo 164 Q4 (viscomatic). It can drive you totally nuts, but persistence is key. Keep it up, you are half way there!!
You’ve got some extreme patience that’s for sure. I commend you for not going with coil overs. The fact that fluid isn’t making it to the rear is mind boggling
Honestly, “liking” this video alone feels like I’m ripping you off. The amount of time, energy and thoroughness you’ve put into this project reinforces why you’re at the top of the pyramid for automotive YT content.
Mate you never give up. You are doing well. I get frustrated when dealing with problems like you are having when working on cars. Sometimes you just have to sleep on it and come back to it another day. It’s amazing how many ideas you come up with in between.
Good luck.
Talking about commitment. Only admirations for you good sir. I hope you get this issue solved!
I'm so gutted for you. Really love this saga, can't wait for the next installment, and hopefully the resolution to the problem. Thanks very much. 😃👍
The best and most raw content thank you sir
Never clicked on a video so fast. I want to see this thing back on the road!
Damn!!! Alex I'm in tears of frustration for you. Soooo much hard effort. This hurts me seeing this not happening for you. That's a seriously gorgeous car. I'm not a Mercedes Fan... But I'd buy that car and drive it daily.
Alex, " you are the best" this brings back memories of me rebuilding the suspension on my Bx 16v Citeron in the early 90's, I had many sleepless nights and I was a Peugeot Citeron Tech.
Check the rear solenoids or could be bad rear struts
I know you will eventually get on top of this, your stubbornness will overcome the problem! I'm still keeping my fingers crossed Alex, keep up the good work.
No UA-cam personality deserves a Gofundme established for automotive therapy more than you do. This saga is more detailed than my boost creep investigation I performed on my 1998 3000GT VR4 about 10 years ago. That car was retired to a used car lot in sacrifice. Keep up the great work!
VR4’s were AWESOME 😎 too bad U didn’t sort it out & keep her…. Mitsubishi’s answer to the MK IV Supra TT 😎 a Japanese CLASSIC in its own right…
Did you figure out your boost creep issue? What was it?
I was so excited! I think you’re heading in the right direction, one of those lines or block has to have a blockage! You’ll find it. Good luck!
You're motivation to fix this CL65 is Amazing, to most UA-camrs and DIY guys, when most people would've gave up on this beast you keep pushing ahead. You have 90% of this vehicle done, just that rear suspension is in a boxing match with you, but I believe with all the knowledge with Mercedes and their systems you can find out what the culprit is and win.
Cool to see all the parts of the abc system. So basically the accumulator is like the spring in the system then? Or puts pressure on the liquid like the ballast in a water tank. Pretty cool. This was one of the most interesting videos in the series as I’ve always wanted to see how Mercedes-Benz ABC system works.
Great great great video Alex. 🦾 I was on the edge of my bed (watching while drinking coffee per normal Saturday routine); with anticipation-even my wife was full of anxiety and she couldn’t give two hoots about fixing cars! You will get there…car guys know that desperate tango of scrounging the parts or fluids in this case to get across the finish line. The great news is even if you hit another bump, this is usually an indicator that the finish line is close so keep that in mind and heart brother 🙏 🏁
It's cool of these other mechanics to want to travel to help you figure it all out.
Specially Mercedes-Benz experts. Car Wizard would be one of them.
Keep at it and keep your head up! You're never defeated, just temporarily stymied. Can't wait to see it fully do the rodeo!
HimAlex, I can’t believe the amount of patience that you have, I’m trying to change my gas intake valve on my old Saab and lost it completely, the car is being picked up by the towing company and taken to the garage as I completely gave up trying! You deserve more from that car than it’s
prepared to give back. Good luck mate!
After years of owning and working on old citroens I feel your pain, hydroneumatic suspension is a pain. I'd check the function of the rear height sensor at that point as it doesn't look like the fluid is being called to the rear.
The famous height correctors. Could easily drive one insane.
Instant like when LegitStreetCars uploads. Wish good luck to you Alex with the CL65. We'll get it fixed. Greetings from Finland!
You are working on one of my dream cars. But after watching your videos , I'm afraid of buying one. 😁 keep up the good work 👍
AWESOME FIX Alex! Never heard of an accumulator detonating that way, until now. BTW 23:24 is where your thread was munged. Impact wrench + vise grips = something will die.
its actually at 23:38, his pliers hit it.
@@joei4ever Could be, but I think it rotates under his vice grips at 23:24 and he then proceeds to drive it home with the impact.
Good eye!
@@joei4ever the impact action sent the threads into the side of the pliers multiple times. That's why it stopped turning
23:27
Same thing on a sl55 Amg. Cut out a shuttle valve for a piece of 10mm copper tube and some compression fittings. Just a thought.
You have same mood that I had when I give away my s500 2003 with bad air suspension. Changed many times... new owner just changed to oil type suspension (which I thought was a mistake) and he is enjoying and daily driving his car! And the best thing is that it feels almost like air suspension.
Jezz Alex, I feel for you. When you replaced the valve block with the rebuilt one, have you actually tried the solenoids? they may have new seals, but there might be something wrong with the solenoid itself... and since you have a lot of them over there... might be worth checking the solenoid that sends hydraulic pressure to the back of the car..
Def a solenoid at this point
He could also have swapped the valve block for the other used one to see if that changed the behaviour.
The rear end hasn't been messed with after the drive home from Wichita, where it was working well. Those solenoids worked then, and generally don't go bad, plus he tested them with the diagnostic computer and found them to click appropriately and draw current at the correct rate - so they're probably fine. This is a hydraulic issue- that fubar'd diaphragm is everywhere in the system now... he has to find the rest of it. 🤔
Awe man! I was clapping and cheering for you when it looked like you have the front and rear hydraulic suspension working finally, and so disappointed for you when you realized the rear was not working. Dang-it! I do know one thing for sure you will figure it out eventually, no doubt in my mind brother.
I wish the technicians would get that excited to fix my CL haha
Good luck man! Your way more patient than most. I would have gutted and gone coil overs long ago, I admire your persistence. 💪🏻💪🏻
Gidday from Australia Alex. We are literally heartbroken for you. You are extremely tenacious and we know after taking a small break and coming back fresh, you will knock this out of the park. Can't wait for the next episode of LSC, "The Gnarly AMG".
I definitely recommend the folding table lift kit. It’s easy, just grab some pvc pipe from Home Depot, cut to length and put the legs into them. Nice way to save your back from having to bend over to work on the table
I missed it what table
Endless effort pits!!
Your soul got crushed in the end, thumbs up for your efforts
There's logic behind the operation of the system. Have you tried reseating the controller or relays associated with it? The valves are dumb devices which open and close based on commands given by some controller somewhere. Find that controller and or relays and remove them from their circuit boards, clean the contacts and reseat them. Check the boards for burn marks. Also check the fuses.
Hands down you're my favorite mechanic on UA-cam. Your expertise and persistence is inspiring to regular guys like me.
The longer this series goes on the more Excited I’m getting to see this the burn some rubber!!!! She’s gonna make some massive pulls
What a cliff hanger, that car is a challenge.
Seems you are going to be spending time checking that entire system for debris that came out of the accumulator and found it's way all over.
But it's going to be awesome when it works.
Stay with it, we are not giving up.
Kind regards,
South Africa
CL65 is too complex for a master MB tech to own. Mortals need not apply.
I absolutely love the Series it reminds me of someone intentionally hurting himself but I don’t know why 🤔😂 and I love your little sarcastic tone at the end like „IM DRIVING MY CL IM DRIVING IT! WHATS THAT NOISE IN THE BACK I DONT CARE 🤪IM DRIVING MY CL like someone who is slowly loosing it 😂 I’m sure there is still some liiiittle piece of plastic in one of those lines laughing at you in German 😂 I’m German too btw das ist very funny 😁
Bummer! Good luck finding the issue. I was really hoping this fix worked for you
