ok, its made by Mercedes-Benz U.S. International in Vance bei Tuscaloosa (Alabama/USA). No wonder if it ´s not well made

is it made in the US?

Diesel is much less flammable than gasoline.

BTW, we are Tom and Jerri. And the new Tom and Jerry Movie is coming out soon. Also, the kids in our neighborhood Love Us!! LOL ! It would be fun to have matching Porsche Cabs to ride the kids around the neighborhood in..

Hoovie, not to undermind your "Pimp Ride". Do you still have the 996 cabriolet? i would like to have another so I can have a pair of them.. I have one,. I would. I love to have a matching set. One for me and one for my wife. 7062543294..Regards.

I'll give you 10K cash right now! just so I can say I have a Hoover Hooptie!!

If you buy German brands buy only German built. Had Audi experience with this... German made is fantastic.

i concur with the shift knob.. I have another manscaper unit in my bathroom. Sure as hell don't want my Porsche shifter looking like a manscaper unit~~ !!

Still LOVING my 996 cab!!

Just picked up one of my two 2001 E38s today for a light control module replacement, again. When I got home I discovered that the right front and left rear floorboard were soaking wet, the left front and right rear floorboard were dry. Back to the mechanic tomorrow for a sunroof repair. This right after I had the other one repaired for running on 7 cylinders (bad coil) and had the rear brake pads replaced. Brake light was on, but I already had a set of pads waiting in the trunk. But I did have the cup holders in both cars replaced with permanently mounted E39 cup holders that function exactly as two holes molded in plastic should, as opposed to the ridiculous contraption that is the stock E38 cup holder. Victory! I see my old comment below. In 7 months I have added about $3000 miles to each car, at a repair cost of about $1 per mile. E38 life!

Oh god

A dream car of mine but it have to be black on black.

A real mechanic would never say "reboot it" as it will always fail.

I have a great amount of respect for wizard and ninja... they work so hard

I wonder what it would be like to see the car you hand built an engine for still going down the road years later.. Especially an AMG with 200k on it

give me the car.

WOW AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot keep up the great work

GL stands for "Good Lord" when you see the rapeair bill.

Perhaps it is the orings on the diesel return line fittings on the injectors.

Finally my knowledge as a europoean tech comes in handy! The OM642 is one of the most popular Mercedes engines over here, and it’s pretty reliable Check the fuel return lines on the injectors, they have little o rings which fail and it causes big diesel leaks! And it’s a cheap fix

Diesel is extremely slippery. Well done for spraying it all over the roads for four months Hoovie.

That was a harsh review, but it was truthful. As you said, it's a Molotov cocktail that WON'T IGNITE. The temp is not high enough to ignite diesel. It could ignite gasoline though.

*Wizard will not touch these crappy BMWs*

pull the car apart and sell it for parts

Hoovie, Doug's not going to let you sell this POS on his website.

Man you need to pick a better friend who told you to drive it. If he was a true friend he should have told you to give me the title and the car.😁

Back when the channel was tolerable

I'll give you $50 for it, Hoovie.

I love my Camry. I could run it without oil and it would still go.

Watch JR Go??????

Ad some UV die & see where it shows up...

I could have sworn wizard had the correct routine and magic Mike.. who we assume knew how to work on those cars made him change the routine

I actually enjoyed the TV show pimp my ride Give it to someone who can really use it I could use it but no way of picking it up because my ride is broke anyways

Cutting a few lines 😂

tell my why i was just thinking before this i wanted on of these

The Murcie is just mean muggin'

My mechanic of 20 years made a mistake in regards to me one time, he was terrified about the mistake and went out of his way to fix it. Some mechanics are amazing people., wizard is no different.

Seriously, why are literally all Mercedes SUV's made in Alabama? For a short period of time the first generation ML's were made in Austria, that's pretty decent.

Lol, I'm sure they were used parts but I'm not sure the owners of the car knew they were getting used!

Oh my god, what a waste of money. They spent over $15 grand on repairs and I spent $15 grand on a clean title 4 year old Camry with 25,000 miles. A fool and his money..

Wow I wish I knew mechanics around me like this

Great Memories you bring with this one y bought in 2005 this edition in texas mine was Number 40 /1000 love that little car have to sell it 3 years later but o boy ill enjoy that little mini i still have the magnet 37 and a replace stickers for the hood and the side originals

It's such a beautiful car.

engine swap it with a toyota

Hoovie slowly falls in love with her while pointing out her flaws.

My favorite part of this video is her high heels. How the heck does she drive with those on ?

I can give you a few common areas of leak to look for based on my experience from S320 cdi and W166 ML 350 cdi First and most common are the lines going to the fuel filter. The fuel filter o rings The lines near the left air box they commonly start leaking where the solid metal pipes end because of vibration from engine End of common rails. It has to be one of these. Although i love the diesel for its torque and fuel efficiency. It is absolutely garbage in terms of reliability. Million sensors all around keep failing leading to limp home mode.

I’ve had my 2007 GL450 for over 10 years. Now has 218,000 miles. Expensive to maintain but a great vehicle.

I hope to own one myself in the Future 🙏🏼

The fuel leak is coming from the V of the engine. Probably the fuel filter (There is a water in fuel sensor on it that leaks).The V galley drains to a hole on the driver's side of the block. Look there.

Back in the day of 2007 I had a GL450 Ive never had any problems with it. I kept it for 3 years and i absolutely loved it. Never gave me 1 issue at all. I eventually traded it in and got a LX570

Hey, um maybe you wanna blur out the old owners info? I bet Mr. And Mrs. Walker would appreciate that.

did you see the video of the cl65 engine out, posted today from @legitstreetcars? Alex is gonna tear it down in the next video.

Oil cooler leak is not $4000 or $5000 fix. New gasget kit is $99 at IDparts.

But if you put a flame to diesel it won't ignite... It only combusts under pressure...

Never heard good things about Mercedes SUVs.

So you are using a Ferrari 456 for the next Car Trek series I see.

That doesn't look like any Mercedes you could get in Europe, is it some half assed yank special?

2:09 was hilarious.

What a nightmare to work on I bet.

Audio F

Air suspension not so bad. Air bags less than $50 each. Rear ones require no tools other than a wrench for the air line.

Delete the dpf and egr, get a tune and it'll get 25mpg highway.

Did I just hear the car wizard say something about the previous mechanic cutting out lines with the razor blade? 😳😂

Modern mercedes are just disposable toys. Their resale value proves this.

I have the exact same year and model. After I bought it the whole electrical system went haywire everytime the engine warmed up. Gauges stopped working. Transmission started to shift very rough. Mechanic didn't know what was wrong. I was about to drive it off a cliff for insurance money. Turns out it was a dying battery. New battery from Wally World and I was set. No problems for 2 years until transmission needed a rebuild. Upgraded GTB 2260 turbo, EGR delete oil cooler o-ring replacement, DPF delete, tune and it's pretty reliable since. Great gas mileage and 7500lbs towing capacity. Not too shabby.

Young hoovie

Glad you made this video. My wife and I looked at one today. And then I showed her this video. Hahah we didn't purchase it of course. Thank you

diesel not flammable

RED TRIANGLE OF DEATH

great car until it reaches ten years , Then it is expensive junk. everything rubber fails, Stay clear ! Believe me. ((

Hoovie you are an asshole I love it Park that ticking time bomb immediately 😅

One of the first questions to a Mercedes dealer in Germany is: Is this Mercedes built in the United States? The ML for example was a horrible SUV.

between.

You could fix ? A old mb diesel? You can’t change a lightbulb frajerze

Life’s to short to drive a diesel

I don't know man, I love my family's GL450. It's a beautiful, smooth and reliable ride for me. Of course it's the second generation and gasoline though.

what a pair of self indulgent twats...

Hoovie. How could you drive that for three months and not realise the strong smell of raw diesel was not an issue?

@hooviesgarage I want to buy your 300SE! Please respond and we’ll go from there.
