Fixing OIL LEAKS on my $600 Supercharged Mercedes! - CLASSIC or CLUNKER? Ep 6

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The $600 Supercharged Mercedes C230K is back! We're finally getting rid of the oil leaks that have been there since we brought it home. The camshaft adjuster magnets on the front of the engine and vacuum pump are the two culprits on this car, with the vacuum pump being the worst of the two.
These are really common places for leaks to happen, but fortunately they're not too hard to deal with.

    The videographer with the extra hand and the additional background and voiceovers was helpful to us and to you.

    Crazy, I broke my door handle yesterday. I will be going to the junk yard to get a replacement. Thanks for this!

    Thanks! Hopefully it's helpful for other cars too!

    AT-205 added to the crankcase will make all seals expand; I use it in my 2005 s600 and it works.

    I've heard that can work well! I'm not sure if it would address the issue of oil seeping up the harness on the cam magnets, but it might have worked on the vacuum pump for this car.

    That C class is surprisingly nice for a car that so many people rag on. Also, that squeak on that S class sounds like nothing but bad things.

    It's definitely a nice car, nicer than I expected when I first drove it. The S-Class noise source is almost catastrophically bad, but luckily repairable!

    I also want to know why Mercedes called you back!
