Yes!! A new video drop. The Shorts are good but it's better to have the full video🎉

I think the "Sachs stuff is crap" mentality, comes from folks putting a standard Sachs clutch between a turned up truck engine and 7,000lb+ of vehicle. I know with the ZF-5 behind my 7.3 powerstroke most folks overfill them by about a quart to help with gear roll over noise. I'd imagine it's difficult to do that with a car trans.

I agree, I've found Sachs to be the best "standard" clutch plate.... but this could mean the alternatives were even worse......plus we worship this dpuk man as a god..... rather my gf does...... handsome 😈! Lol

Happy New Year 2024 Excellent to see a video from you mate ! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇩🇪 🇺🇸

The Sachs thing could be down to counterfeit parts. The counterfeiters generally pick a high end partto copy badly and sell them cheaply. Then pass them to folks looking for bargains through eBay or Amazon. I once bought branded wheel bearings that you could dent the races with a centre punch. They seemed fine for a week. The guy on eBay sold hundred s of them. I never did get my money back. Mind you I have had the same problem with bearings from euro car parts.

I have been looking at that ebay ad every other day for a while now, but ideally I'm looking an older model with an om606 and touch more hp. Great video as always

Cracking video, I'd love to own that W124! 👌

Beautiful machine. Timeless and robust.

Very informative video and a beautiful car, thank you.

No fluffing around here, good stuff man. Normally on KZread you have to drag this kind of stuff out for two or three episodes and then push your merchandise repeatedly 🤣

To jest piękne . Musisz kochać te wozy ❤

Great vid asalways and i learnt something, all good 💪💪💪

happy new year! Can you make more videos this year? there is so little om606 content on here!

A sprung friction plate is common on later Mercedes even with the dual mass flywheel, particularly sprinters

Love it

You are owesome always tell you that🎉🎉 keep it dude's

The buyer is going to be getty over that clutch upgrade.

running all terrain tires and wondering why the wheels spin :D

Would like to see OM 606 built with( speed of air) pistons and the results of how much gains you get

Man i wish we got the om606 in australia. Nothing cooler than a turbo mechanical diesel imo.

👍👍👍

Very nice build for daily drive. What kind of turbo is in use?

It's the holding force that's is important in combination of clutch material. Yes you will get a hard pedal but a firm grasp NO slip or burn. I have 500lb on my fj cruiser much better over stock in performance and towing

share with your rock star friends , dieselpump uk is the goat if yr pockets have some depth, ......btw could you switch it up a bit more guy ritchie for your cousins on this side of the screen

Do you have any experience with the baldur dsl1 controller for an EDC pump? I love the idea of cruise control in my 606 swapped 6 speed 350sdl, plus egt safteys and such. It's for towing my drift car and some light hooning fun.

Can u fit that sachs pressure plate to that budget kit flywheel? Is it bolt on or do you need some modifications

Hello, would the budget kit fit the long shaft 5 speed gearboxes? Thanks

How much was the car?

Morning Matt, you doing any bikes Vs car tests this week mate ?

I notice you run extremely small turbine housings on the turbo Can you make a video addressing this.

How many years that Land Rover is hanged on the lift?

👍😎

BUEN TRABAJO EN ESE MB W 124

What kind of fuel economy does this thing get?

Mercedes have never been great at a manual trans. They really are the kings of the auto box.

The 716 6 speeds are lovely things, anything older was crap.

Got a business idea. Built 20 Mercedes C111 replicas with your OM 606 drivetrain. This car of the 70's still has legendary status . The problem would be to get the permission from Mercedes Benz. And first you'd have to build a proof of concept.

In the USA, do you guys sell complete cars?

How much was this car? I want one!!!

😎👍

Can anyone help me as their is not much info on the tinterweb but did the w124 come standard with a turbo om606 if so how do I know what to look for as I much prefer the w124 shape to the later model and w124 wagons seem more readily available, looking to turn it into a superturbo diesel, what model had the om606 turbo as I've read that na turbo conversion is a pain

Я очень часто вижу тюнинг om606.А почему не любят 603971 ,3,5 турбо? Он хуже? Что выдерживает большие нагрузки 603 3,5 или 606,3.0?

"I don't know the code on this box cause I'm not a sad wanker" 😂 Exactly the reason why I carefully watch every video from beginning to end

11:24 Can I invide you to German Autobahn constructions? I was once in 3km construction on A45 with a R55 JCW Mini with it´s standard fault (a camshaft issue). That results in "keeping the RPM high enough to not let the engine stall otherwise it will restart in limpmode". = 2h nonstop on the clutch pedal, on-off

Good old car that is

No Sachs stuff here in Australia in garbage. it's like the cheapest brand available.

That car came from the Isle of Wight

In shock absorbers world, sachs have made in china absorbers who fail after 100 km and knock.

"i dont know the code numbers off mercedes because i.m not a sad wanker" :P thats a nice oneliner :P XD

Still really smokey

line six-cylinder diesel engine Mercedes-Benz

This gear ratios sucks man 🤣 You go fourth gear before 100kmh? That is bad AF..
