This is a must on your M156 C63 AMG if you have not done so already, this could literally save your engine from self destruction!
We got some help in recording and editing this video so let me know in the comments what you think of the format. Apologies there hasn't been a video for so long I have been really poorly, but now I am slowly getting back to best.
We have more videos coming so make sure to keep an eye out.
Should you need any injectors for your m156 and live in the UK! you can purchase from my website

Like and subscribe.
All the best everyone and thank you for your support!

Injectors wear out, we used to re-build carburettors at about 70,000 miles. Injectors are not a fit and forget thing. Also modern engines run a lot tighter parameters and bad injectors can wreck an engine. Not just the hydraulic problem of filing the cylinders with petrol mentioned. Good sound advice to my way of thinking. The car will also probably perform better and use less petrol for replacing worn /aged injectors.

My M156 is on 197000km and as far as I know the injectors have never been replaced. My Mercedes-Benz specialist, essentially your counterpart here in South Africa, has also never recommended it. Might ask for a quote to do them on my next service which is due in 2 months.

@@sprautos Update: I spoke to my Mercedes-Benz specialist, he says he's never replaced an injector on an M156 and never seen one fail since their introduction. It could be environmental related or fuel related but it seems here in South Africa it's not an issue. So for now I'll leave mine alone since it's a very expensive job.

@coolcat23 Ай бұрын

1:56 "I don't know why people don't do it [drain the oil cooler]". A good reason to not do it is because it is a challenge to get the air out of the oil cooler after the oil change. If some air is left in the oil cooler, it can stay there for a while and then be released at once, e.g., when someone puts the foot down and the oil pressure rises. This can lead to the engine being starved for oil for a moment and cause damage. In short, unless one has a way to get the air out of the oil cooler after the oil refill or otherwise control the release of the trapped air, one should not drain the oil cooler.

About the thickness the outer diameter of a garden hose and about at a guess 12 mm inner diameter the only thing is I can try and make one with a spring and heated up and call it down, maybe that was done before that's why it looks nothing like the pictures I don't know I need to get a service manual there must be something online free??
