Hi this Is Ivan aka Panzer
Will be sharing my projects with you as you witness my failures and eventually success at the end while owning and maintaining my Mercedes Benz vehicles..
Will go over experiences, maintenance key points and my opinions of ownership.
As well as the usual shenanigans a typical car enthusiast faces.
I"m just the more detailed D.I.Y
Vehicles Owned

Do you recall having to make any modifications to the bumper cover or did it fit without issue?
Sell it to me
Where do you get the plastic fascia from please?
A piece of constructive criticism for me is if you could reduce the background noise, I think it would make the overall audio of you talking which is the bulk of the video more clear. Clean whip, I’m saving up for an e55 as well 🌊🌊
Great stuff here! I was watching your steering wheel install. Please tell me how you connected your aftermarket head unit so that the controls on the steering wheel operate your radio. I have one of those Android head units. I could not determine what canbus wires I needed to connect to use my steering wheel controls. My steering wheel is the factory wheel.
Thank you for this video - awesome stuff!
How much volts is the battery? It opens so quick and smooth
What company did you get this from 😍😍
請問這兩款都是雙電池,而且通用嗎?
I bought the newer style of key (2012 to 2016) and it’s awesome. Nice quality made in china, not gonna lie.
Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉🎉
I just bought a slk55 and this is the only yt channel I could find slk content on
I promise i have more in store. Once i get my slk55 back from the paint shop
Hello, thanks for the great video. I am currently replacing my fuel pump and filter to my SLK 200. I'm having an issue reconnecting the sender plug which is located at the bottom of the black box that houses the pump. Could you please advise the easiest way raise the box to gain access to connect the plug. Much appreciated.Thanks, Kelvin
Hi, would a w205 2017 fit a SL500 r230 2003? I'm just trying to keep busy whilst I go through chemo..
Yes it will, switching the airbag cover connectors is only need to get the airbag to eork
What are the symptoms of valve cover leakage
Burnt oil smell. Small oil stains under the car, oil burning on header manifold causing white smoke
You need a lapel mic
Waiting for the final result.....
Hey Panzer , i recently bought a fuel filter fot my SLK 55 amg R171 2005 , just as yours , but it aint OEM , i think its chinese , the part where the connector is supposed to go is sealed in mine , in contrast with the oem one. Any suggestion of what can i do ?
I would highly recommend returning the part, acquiring a oem brand(fcp euro) will have it in stock and a good price
Thank you for that imformation.
@PANZERSGARAGE Hello again after years. I am on the way to change the chain tensioner and remembered your modification with the silencer. Did all went good? Because I have taken out the Eaton and changed oil and now I look on this silencer. what happens to your compressor after years? still going good? hope you have time to answer. I will do it this weekend. What do you recommend for cranking only the engine until the oil pressure push the new tensioner in place? Greetings from Sweden. Still snow, so that's why I make my Saxon ready for the summer.
Kompressor is still good. I have owned 2 02 c230 ks with the m111 engine. Years of use with no problems. I did rebuild the SC after 140k miles on one of them. It doesn't reduce the life of your kompressor. Only miles will do that lol
@@PANZERSGARAGE sounds good, so I will do it like you did. How about the oil pressure? suggestions?
You forgot very important things , is a two different types of the silver key some of them got one battery and same got two battery. Looks everything the same but you can fit the electric stuff inside.
How had it been working, i'm thinking of buying this samekind of xtrons unit to my w211?
Its been working well i have a newer slightly updated unit in my slk55 for a little over a year. Love it
Nice to hear and is it really necessary to have this cd changer that you don't have able to delete it? If you do delete it will it be that radio wont work or what it does?
Question: some after market radio’s ensure this canbus keeps working(at least steering wheel controls) does that automatically mean the door will also still work?
Yes & yes. A proper aftermarket with a cannus module.
@@PANZERSGARAGE thanks for the quick reply friend
I was hopping my 2004 e320 could get the slap shifters I just had manuel and agility added now I can't have paddles suckks
Quick question 🤔 could the radio be rebooting because I used cig lighter for constant and accessory. Why can't I use the og constant and ground? Are you sure it will drain battery I did away with fiber got 2 amps now new door speakers and all canbus works but I do have to solve this rebooting thing. Xtron thinks it's canbus I don't because canbus seems to be working idk what do you think
Well I followed your lead on my w211 xtron everthing and jlaudio amps and door speakers. Xtron unit keeps rebooting when driving what you think it is. Canbus is working steering controls and door ajar on screen. Need your help last step what do you thing big dog
Thanks Panzer, video very informative.
No way to retro fit 04 e320 4matic paddle shifters i got manuel mode added now i want paddles
I got new rolacment key and programmesd 150 total
hack job
Thank you 😉
Do you have a video of how you changed the silver on the dash cluster to that carbon fiber? I’m wanting to change mind from diver also.
Thank you for the tip of the replacement new battery. I own a Mercedes 2015- C-300. And I would like to order one extra Smart key for my backup. You said I can order it from Amazon and eBay..?? Right..??
Its valid for mercedes sl r230?
Yes, it is.
@@PANZERSGARAGE What airbag would I have to buy, would I have to modify the electronics of the Mercedes R230 when installing it?
@juliovazquez9834 This video will be similar to the installation for your r230. Following the same steps. Do you have an instagram so i can link you with Automizer.
@@PANZERSGARAGE i have Facebook , instagram not … If you were in Spain I would bring you the car so you could do the work for me, there are people here who tell me that it is impossible to do it but you give me hope.
@@juliovazquez9834 its very possible. Email [email protected] let them know your model and year. Which type of wheel you wanted
Just got a 2006 SLK 55 AMG and very happy to find your detailed and very helpful videos. Thank you!
HI, great job there! I wanted to ask how about cars, that already has the button to fold up the mirrors? Is there anything to do? Or just plug and play the mirrors? Thank you!
If you have the button feature, you should be a plug n play by using the button. The only thing that needs to be coded is if you lock the car, the mirrors fold in n fold out when you unlock.
@@PANZERSGARAGE nice thank you.. now I only have to find a dealer which ships also to Germany 😂
can u help me with my after market radio plzzzzzz
What do you need help with?
Can it work with 2001 c320
Yes it can, as the c class also uses canbus. Tho the steering column might need a little mod to have it 100%
Note: a light wipe of non-conductive silicone dielectric grease(using gloves) will protect the circuit board and allow the install to be easier
Do you have a source to get Keyless GO keys? MB told me they can't get them anymore
A fiber optic bypass loop is commonly used. Can that work for the 6 disc cd changer ?
who supplies the tune?
hey man i noticed you sold ur car since ur not using this account anymore are willing to sell it
Yes, im willing to.
@@whitewolf2789 how much would you let it go for
@@whitewolf2789 why did u sell ur car
Hey can I buy that old radio from you please ?
Sorry mate, i had sold that radio already to a viewer
if you get a fiber optic lop you don’t need the cd holder
Tell me more?
I have a 2005 E class what stirring wheel will I be able to use newer
Yes, it is possible to use newer. Even the one i have on this video
Hello, where we can find a controller, or some module i don't know, that converts a resistive signal the buttons? This black box... i want to upgrade a W211 steering wheel to W166 wheel... the interface of the buttons are different...
GREAT VIDEO!!! Very helpful! Thank you for sharing this.
I can't believe you did all that for music and didn't play any. ?
It's hard to really hear the quality over a video. I probably should have at least played a song 😆
How do you replace the back shelf that comes up when the roof goes in the trunk and where are you located
Are you referring to the cover that folds up with 2 triangular pieces folding out? Its a simple process as the cover is only operated by cables when the roof retracts or closes. Im located in El Paso TX
as a mercedes mechanic i can say you are correct. the aftermarket ones always leak
