This is not a how-to-video. It's just a movie of me fixing with one of my cars.

Owning a w116 450 se with D-tronic injection, I really appreciate all of these informations.
Here is a clear video, easy to understand. Thank you all!

Thank you so much Denis! Very nice to hear! /Peter

[@VITOSGARAGE]

Awesome video! I love old school Mercedes so much! Amazing cars! I have a lot of videos on them too! Cheers.

[@Pexyz]

Thanks Vito! Yes, truly great cars. Nice vids you have yourself, I've subscribed. Will be nice to follow.

Man this deserves a lot more views! I wish I could take your help diagnosing a misfire. Ive a '77 350 SLC with the M116. Cylinder no. 1 has spark but not firing.

[@Pexyz]

Thanks shaazy! Seems like your problem is in the fuel system then. Keep your engine idling and then put a long screwdriver or similar towards the no 1 cylinder injector. Then put the shaft end of the screw driver towards your ear. If the injector is active you should hear a clicking sound.

Silicone spray might have helped remove the hoses

[@Pexyz]

Thanks for the tip! //Peter

I do really like your video, i have the car with some vacuum line disconnected, if you can make a short video showing your vacuum line will be be very appreciated cause its very hard to find it
Thanks

[@Pexyz]

Thanks Junior! I'll try to, but which vacuum lines do you mean? //Peter

[@EnriqueLopez-hb5jn]

What year is that SLC, I had a 280SE, 1979 that was carburetor,and that SLC is fuel injected, awesome car, color,👍👍👍👍👍

[@Pexyz]

Hi! This 450 SLC is from 1975. If you had a 280 SE with carb, the engine must have been replaced. All classic E and SE cars had fuel injection. The E means Einspritzung, which is injection in german.

[@lancesmith4371]

Hello, was the hose length on top fo the injector about 45mm? Thanks for the video

[@Pexyz]

Yes Lance, something like that. Thanks for watching! //Peter 👍

[@zoharmelamed]

Thanks for the video - whats the pipe diameter ? is it 7.5mm ? Thanks !

[@Pexyz]

Hard to tell exactly, but I think I used regular 8 mm hoses here. Thanks for watching!👍

[@ianplatt5607]

Yes, not easy to push, are they? 🤣

[@Pexyz]

No, quite heavy 😁

[@checkity1]

Hello, how would I go about cleaning this type of injector? Reverse flush?

[@Pexyz]

Hello and thanks for watching and commenting! It's hard go give an advice since I haven't cleaned any myself, but I know ultra sonic cleaning isa common way to clean injectors.

[@TomBTerrific]

Reverse flush then check pressure release

[@ejtomero7720]

What kind of spark plugs did you use?

[@Pexyz]

Don't remember, but I'll try to check.

[@TomBTerrific]

See video Bosh plugs

[@ericcogonzales2850]

"It runs okey"?! Come on! It runs terrible. Like my 2-cylinder lawn tractor...

[@Pexyz]

Yes Ericco, absolutely terrible. Like all Mercedes V8s 👌
