I thought today’s cars were supposed to make our lives easier…
But I guess that doesn’t apply to every make and model out there!
A mechanic named Dave posted a video on TikTok and showed viewers how things got complicated in a hurry when he worked on an AMG Mercedes Benz with a Twin Turbo engine.
Dave said, “There’s a super sweet engine inside all this ****. But I mean to get in anything, I mean even to change the air filters is like, a pain in the butt.”
The check engine light in the Mercedes came on and the mechanics believed it was either a problem with the car’s thermostat or the engine wasn’t heating up fast enough.
Dave removed the thermometer and said, “What you gotta do, you gotta take off both these air intakes and everything. That’s what it looks like. Oh my gosh, you gotta pull the intercoolers off of this thing.”
Dave said to the camera, “Help! You Mercedes techs out there. Give us a quick tip. This is crazy. 2-bolts and an electrical connector. I gotta tear the whole front of the motor apart?”
That sounds complicated…
Let’s take a look at the video.
