My thoughts on the W221 Mercedes Benz S Class and others. 2012 S350 bluetec
Great video series! I've got a '24 5mt Versa myself. Could you do the 5mt community a huge favor and post a video of the sound from the transmission in idle after a drive? I've noticed that, on some Versas, the throwout bearing tends to emit a rattling noise in idle when warm.
I do have an idle video if you'd like to check it out
very good video. Have a new e waiting on shipping. they messed my order and it coming with the 4 banger than the 6, on fence if should cancel and go look for 450. You seem to be happy with the 4cyl. so was a good video
I made more vids about this car including why I sold it
good review. pretty sure i am getting one for my daughter this week.
Cant touch anything decent for less than 5k now.
Sure you can, it just requires a lot of effort and a little luck
@@youtoobe169 i dont know if you've been following the market in the west coast lately.I got my 05 Black on Black for 7900 in Dec 2019 with 124K miles. It has 157K now. Facelift models in good shape with this many miles go for 10-12K. Even pre facelift models with 200K miles people want 7K+ for. Definitely gonna take some patience. I'm giving my son mine but love the car so much I want another one
@@youtoobe169 Also keep in mind you got your for 1500 5 years ago. A lot has changed in the last 5 years, especially when it comes to the use car market
@@zerodayjay West coast definitely makes a difference.
It's criminal that the manual isn't a six speed.
If you want a 6 speed, you can buy a car that costs several thousand more dollars. The 5 speed is just perfect for this car.
@@youtoobe169 I tried one out, I don't agree. It would be much better with a sixth gear for exactly this purpose.
@@youtoobe169 Yes, a VW Jetta starts at 22k for six speed and a bigger engine.
@@theinvisibleman2070 The Jetta S manual is definitely a cool car
What was the clicking sound ? Mine is doing it too
Dealer said they took it apart and removed an unidentified piece of plastic.
@@youtoobe169 wow!
Thanks for this Video Sir, I am considering getting one of these. Great help here...Thanks...
Glad it was helpful!
And how do you take the cruise control symbol of the panel after canceling the speed??? It’s grey but it’s always in the screen I can’t take it off
Sorry, don't have this car any more
I like the Versa especially with the manual transmission and considering the price. Miles better than a Mitsubishi Mirage.
Can you do this using optimized acceleration?
Don't have this car anymore
I just had this happen to me on the freeway 10 minutes ago. Mine has less than 6k miles, and I almost got flattened by a semi. Great way to spend my birthday.
Yes it's a big problem. Glad you're OK. Please file a complaint with NHTSA
the illuminated door handles are standard?
Yes, this is a low option car and none of them involved lighting
Hi, I’m one of your subscribers planning to buy a new 2024 Mercedes E350. Being a first time Mercedes buyer I would like to know your views and would also appreciate if you could let me know if Premium Gas is a must for a 2024 E350… Thanks in advance!
Premium is a must for pretty much every Mercedes gasoline car. I did a few videos about this car if you'd like my detailed thoughts.
@@youtoobe169 Thanks for the info. I have seen all your videos pertaining to 2024 E350 which were pretty good and informative. Thanks again!
@@sureshs7978 Congrats on getting one!
@@youtoobe169 Thanks.
There's a valve that pumps the coolent and oil thru the turbo after the cars off
Good to know
Good video. Does it have fold down rear seats?
This makes no sense, what bars are you talking about, This video just adds confusion to an already messed up situation.
Look closely at the fuel gauge. There are 2 bars above the red line. You can see as I drive more, one of the bars disappears. The bars represent the amount of fuel in the tank. When the fuel is full, the bars light up all the way to the right, indicating a full tank. When it is empty, there are no bars lit.
I currently drive a 2019 Prius which I love but I’m starting my college program this fall (a little late in life) and need to reduce my car payment by a lot. I’ve been only searching for very old Corollas or Yaris’ and it’s almost impossible but I just realized I could get one of these for a super good price plus warranty.
i have a 22 5mt impreza and it reminds me very much of this car w a lil more (awd, carplay). but at the end of the day a very good first car. walked out the door for 18k.
Did you buy the Subaru new, or just recently?
I’ve read my owners manual, says 229.51 or .52 and now reading the oils website from stuttgart, its says 229.52 only. Thanks for sharing.
Either one would be fine, but 229.52 would be best. Thanks for stopping by!
@@youtoobe169 my Friends 2019 e220d has been run on 229.51 for around 70k miles and the cams and rockers have failed so Mercedes have told him that it should be only 229.52. I’m gonna switch up to .52 for the same reason.
@@markplenty2631 There has to be more to that story. 229.51 alone will not cause those types of issues.
@@youtoobe169 I agree.. that’s the story I’ve got from my friend straight from the head mechanic at Merc..
that driver seat has probably been replaced or recovered, whoever told you it was an option was full of it
I thought I saw that in an order guide but I could be wrong
Can you peek under the hood and confirm that it is actually a single turbo? I heard the many diff sources saying that even though the code matches up to the single turbo b57, its actually the detuned b57 twin turbo.
Don't have the car any more but I had the turbo replaced and it most definitely is a single turbo.
Lol BMW fanboy rumours are the best.
There is a TSB for this issue LI09.40-P-064267
Check the wastegate actuator bushings for play. That sounds like my 535i that didn't make any boost, the wastegates were not sealing to the turbine housing, because those bushings were failing
There's actually a TSB for this LI09.40-P-064267. I posted this mainly for the dealer
How would you compare the Range Rover in terms of comfort and noise insulation compared to other vehicles you've owned.
Comfort is excellent and noise isolation is pretty close to an S Class Mercedes.
Why do you get new versas so often? Why not just keep one?
Many reasons. I go into more details in some of my older videos if you're interested. That being said, I may end up keeping the one I have now.
You hit the nail on the head when you said you cannot get an S-class diesel these days. I'll look into the AEM settlement, but for now, since you are in the unique position of owning a gasoline and diesel W221, could you please comment on the differences between the two? Is the gasoline really easier to maintain because of the absence of the diesel particulate system? Perhaps these can be addressed in a video? You sure gained a subscriber today 🙂
Thanks! I only had the S550 for a brief bit so won't have any long term ownership info on it. I would probably give the edge to the S550 for ease of maintenance overall long term though, but I think it would vary on a case by case basis.
@@youtoobe169 Thank you for sharing your opinion. The diesel would be great for fuel economy but I've yet to find one with second row reclining seats, which were quite common on the S550 of that era.
@@oldporkchops I think there was one on BaT that had that option recently. it went for a lot of money.
382 miles and mine does it
Hopefully NHTSA forces Nissan to recall. It wouldn't hurt if you also filed a complaint.
Going through it right no dealer says nothing wrong its a shame i love this car seems like its going to be a battle with nissan
Very annoying. I went through multiple sets of brakes and rotors in several months. If it’s improperly bedded you’re going to need new brakes and rotors. Slamming on your brakes won’t fix it. They’re already baked in.
Yes, I ran into that too. I ended up selling to Carvana.
One quick question, on your 2013 S350 Bluetec, is the AdBlue fill port next to the diesel fill port? Or is it under the spare tire? Thanks in advance for your help with this.
Under the spare tire
@@youtoobe169 Oh dear. How often do you need to top up the AdBlue tank?
@@oldporkchops So actually I don't know. I know it was filled up over 10000 miles ago (before I bought it) and I still have not gotten the message that it's low.
@@youtoobe169 If we can go 10,000 miles or maybe even half that before needing to fill up, that's not too bad.
@@oldporkchops So, are you planning on buying one?
Hi there, you are driving the car of my dreams. Do you think the S350 Bluetec would be more problematic than the gasoline version because of the DPF and diesel regulations? Do you know about FCP Euro?
The S class as a whole is not an extremely reliable car. You can still find the diesel version with the fairly comprehensive emissions warranty on it. Yes, I buy from FCP Euro.
any problems with the car ?
I've made a few videos going into detail if you'd like to check them out
Hello man is there any chance if I could have a brief talk with you?
Sure - post any questions here about the car and I will do my best to answer
WOW, 80 mph and barely over 2000 rpm. I have seen them on FB with the CVT and plenty have hit the 100,000-mile mark with original transmission.
can you turn off the talking mercedes voice? what do you dislike most about it. i owned a 2017 and loved it.
I think you can turn it off. I made a video about why I sold it if you want to check it out.
It’s gotta be harmonic balance
No, it was the belt tensioner. The 2011s did not have harmonic balancer issues.
There is one for sale at a local dealership here in NC for $18,200, i can get for 18, not much negotiations as expected for such an inexpensive car.
Yeah, any discount is a good deal
I’d get the manual over the CVT. Their CVT don’t have a good track record.
Is there a workaround for the stall to limp mode? I'm considering this car but this is quiet basic to get it right. while I don't stall but you never know about some weird situation. You try to restart the car back in neutral or whatever the gear it was in previously?
Some people report shut off the car, open and close the door, then restart.
For anyone wondering, rpms at highway speeds are: 2481rpm - 55mph 2704rpm - 60mph 2927rpm - 65mph 3122rpm - 70mph 3373rpm - 75mph 3596rpm - 80mph 3819rpm - 85mph mathematically calculated based on gear ratio, diff ratio and wheel size.
Your math is a bit off. In my video at 72 MPH the RPM are about 3400.
Im glad youre still making videos on the Versa S. While im not a fan of the S trim because of the lack of certain key features(a remote key is one of them) , despite that as the cheapest car in America it offers alot. On that UA-camr who took this car as a easy mark,guys an idiot or just a self promoting shill looking for the next viral video. Anyone looking at this car sees it as a economical family car,not a plush Merc or Maserati which they often beleive all cars should be.
Agreed! Thanks for stopping by!
I’m having the exact same trouble on a brand new Nissan Versa that I purchased approximately a week and a half ago. It drove home fine. The next day this occurred and I have had zero satisfaction from any of the dealerships, including the one who kept the car for approximately five days, supposedly trying to get it to reenact. Because they have not yet been able to reenact it at a Nissan dealership, they are stalling. Would you mind, please giving me the info as to where you were asking us to report? I paid cash for this vehicle only to have all of this going on. This is not OK. Thank you so much for all of your helpful information.
It was with NHTSA and they are already conducting an investigation. Over 20 people filed complaints. I made a few videos about the issue with links.
3500 rpm at over 70 mph isnt too bad for highway driving, speed limit is 65-70 anyway.
It's actually pretty quiet on the highway, even with the higher RPMs.
I wouldn't be waiting so long for an oil change especially if you're looking for 150K++ use and rev it a lot, lots of the manufactures overextend themselves on intervals. If you change it yourself its probably 20-25 bucks for the oil and filter so i would say 4500-5000.
Oil change interval is one of the most hotly contested things in the car world. :)
@@youtoobe169 Yes but better to change early than late--Toyota suggests 10K and more than a few have failed and LOTS of sludge WITH full synthetic, a Toyota mechanic suggests every 5K. Its noisy due to NO hydraulic lifters, they are mechanical lifters with a certain clearance. ua-cam.com/video/-lqZ6FBAsNk/v-deo.html
@@zxtenn I think Toyota changed their recommendation to 5000 miles. I know that's what it is on my GR Corolla. Nissan recommends 7500 on the Versa and I actually changed at about 6600.
whats the location ?
Mostly western PA
Did you have the code P2457? Just got that on my 2018 Diesel Equinox.
I think it was a DEF heater but I don't remember. I did make a video about the issues I had
Where specifically/geographically are you driving in this video? It looks like a nice place to drive.
Most of the video is in eastern PA
@@youtoobe169 thank you!
Why have you owned 4
I go into details about that in some of my other videos
Ha this is great might buy a manual until i saw the power issue thing gets remedied
Lexus or Acura ❤
I like both, but they don't make any diesels
