2004 W220 S65 AMG costs of ownership after previous car dealer scammed me.

On this video I'm telling you on average that how much money I spent after cleaning up the bad work done by previous car dealer from where I bought this car. There has now been done a lot so far: Engine disassemble, oil cooler change, several oil leak fixes, several coolant leak fixes, 2 new servo/ABC pumps, ABC line flushing and preassure tests, ignition module replace, some new censors, connectors, cables, etc. Things Im planning still to do on near future: new brakes, new vacuum locks and new sport tires.

    Brembo direct prices are over 1k usd. 390 mm rotors and AMG stamps needed. I use only orginal parts. I want to keep it in best possible condition. Just got Classic Data estimation and classification of 2

    @@S65Finland FCP EURO has a kit on their website that includes both front Brembo rotors front pads and sensors for 802.36 The Brembo rotors alone are 344.00 each. I own a 2005 CL 65 AMG, I will buy Brembo for my vehicle. It’s the same as genuine less the star.

    Great to see your superb, rare MB and learn about maintenance experiences. I own a W211 2005 E350 AG with 108,000 km--because it's still so safe and enjoyable to use. Owning an old MB, I expect $2000--5000Au per annum for mechanical costs and its serviced 6-monthly. Am now looking at a local 2007 S65 AMG and a 2008 S600--probably just pipe dreams?

    Nice to hear. I would recommend S550 381 horsepowered engine. Easier and cheaper to maintain, but if you go with m275 V12 check that the coils are good and that the electronics work.

    man good luck with that car , but an V12 S class is going to be a really ungrateful car to maintain especially if tis 20 yrs old.

    Yeah. I suppose there the main points are keeping it good condition. If you fail with that - then it can be hard.

    Happy to hear you have these issues sorted now. It's always tricky to bring such a complex car to a dealer/workshop that doesn't have the right experience. I don't know if that first dealer was MB or just a generalist? When the M275 works properly, it's a magnificent engine. Do you know where the blue inserts come from on your seats? On one of your earlier videos, I checked the VIN and there is no mention that this was done at the factory. Would be interesting to know the story behind this. Looking forward, what you will do with the ECU. I have read that updating the TCU makes the gearbox shift faster. That's something I am thinking of for my CL. Your S65 in white looks amazing in the snowy winder landscape. :)

    Thank you very much! I guess the blue covers come from Japan taylor? This car was delivered from AMG to Japan. So maby someone did there some after fitting with the interior. The seller was a normal car shop. So no expertise with the amg, but no it really starts to be in good condition!! And its really fast!

    Such a beautiful car! I am just curious did you go back to the original dealer to complain and see if they would reimburse you any of your money?

    Yes i did. And unfortunately they refused. They first did that oil leak problem, but the quality of work was so bad and they did not follow mb instructions so i needed to take the car to origimal mb amg shop to a better quality work
