I love your type of videos I really do, it doesn't matter if they are 20 or 40min long. Its good that you talk about every single detail we don't mind the extra talk 😊, there are no other channels like yours out there on yt. Been watching you for about 2 years now so keep it up ❤. There is only a small amount of people like you who post honest videos on how to fix something.

good morning luis that water mark you pointed out is a fill level indicator mark for the SAM and that stands for Sunk And Mouldy i lke a challenge but 10 hours plus that sam would be flying down the garden as hard as i can throw it ps talking is the way you get the process across how you think and then repair so no you dont talk to much and THANK YOU for the video

Honestly I'd recommend changing those taillight seals with the updated version from Mercedes on every W164. Even the on the Mopf/Facelift variant I've seen them leak (though they moved the rear Sam under the back seat there).

With these junk mercedes, always start and trace the light that's out. Things like brake lights coming on when a side light goes out is sort of normal. Codes will tell you if a replacement light is being used. I feel your pain though with getting it working then it failing again. I always now get the customer to get a module. Not worth the time and effort - especially for a trader 😉 Peugeot have an even better idea on some models, if a number plate light isn't working at ignition on, the BSI will flash the corresponding brake light 3 times then disable the brake light totally. How you can see this from the drivers seat I do not know. They say this is for safety 🙄 Obviously, to the French, no brake light is safer than just leaving the number plate out.
