WHAT IS DRIVING WITH A MILLTEK LIKE ON THE 205 GTI?
I have a 2017 model prem+ and the steering wheel feels kind of hard no matter the speed or mode (comfort, sport). I've mentioned this to the MB dealer many times and they're saying it's normal. I drove a 2019 c300de and that one was nice and light. But I've also tested a 2019 E-class 220d and that one was even stiffer than mine. How does yours feel like?
ABS light comes on my 207 peugeot common faults
Hi Damo I just need if you can help me c350e class 2016 auxiliary battery location please
Good video. Miss my old 2006 B7 2.0 TFSI! Had it until 315,000 km or 195,000 miles. It was bullet proof for many years but once it got past the age of 15, small problems seemed to appear ever more frequently. O2 sensor, thermostat, blower relay water damage, small oil leak with the vacuum pump, exhaust pipe holders. And the damn rust, not just in the arches but also in the rear and small rust dots appeared even in the doors. The car was on the original chassis parts so that was going to be expensive sooner or later and didn't feel like throwing in more money due to the rust.
Thanks for the video and your experience as I am looking at one of these to buy. I'm a bit apprehensive on the electric battery degradation.
I think a lot of people are. All I can say is mine is 8 years old and in the 25k miles I’ve put on the car I haven’t noticed a difference. 3 years into ownership and no plans to sell.
@@damos_cars Thanks for the quick reply and thats reassuring to hear. Love the channel and videos so keep it up!
@@brendanpower5888 thank you 👍 good luck with the search.
Never like a Normal Key ,, but good to know
LOL yeh!
My first car was a 205 GTI 1.9 I put it in my grandads name and he insured it with me as a second driver ha ha, the shit we had to do just to drive the cars we wanted. I used to get pulled over 2 or 3 times a day (more some days if I had a car full) I had piles and piles of producers. Good days, I would have another oner one tomorrow if the price was right. Wish I never got rid of mine when I see the prices they go for now. Take care people 👍
Ha ha love it, yeh I think I was a 'named' driver on my first car. Was the cost effective workaround back in the day. Also got pulled many many times for driving around with a car full late at night and going nowhere.
I did that on my 1.9 . My mum insured mine and I insured hers and name drivers . Lol
Great video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
What will be the resale value of these PHEV cars? I am very worried that no one will buy them after 7-9 years of use.
Well like anything there will always be a market it’s just what someone will pay. Depreciation on any car is a real factor but so far used phevs seem to hold up ok compared to their petrol counterparts.
@@damos_cars thanks for your comment. I am considering upgrading my old C class and I am a bit unsure about going for a C350e (to keep and use for 8-10 years) thinking that at worst the battery can fail, and even if it does not fail, its health and capacity will degrade over time; which will cost a lot to replace and the next buyer will therefore would not want to buy my 9-10 year old PHEV. Also the technology of car batteries and (PH)evs is still evolving and that's another reason buyers may avoid a 10 year old PHEV. Considering these points, wouldn't a C300-C350-C400 petrol be a safer choice for long use to hold better resale value after 8-10 years of use than a PHEV?
@avalanche9142 yeh potentially but I think you need to take into account the type of driving you do. For example in our c350e in the last 2 weeks all the trips have been 10 miles or less so no fill ups. The petrol gauge hasn’t moved. In the uk the annual tax is free. Service cost are really not much different from the petrol equivalent. It’s also nice to know when in busy traffic you’re not emitting fumes. It really comes down to personal choice. None of us have a crystal ball. The resale could be better on the engine car but then fuel prices could be more by then. I wouldn’t over analyse it too much. Our C350e is 8 years old but still works perfectly and drives like new. Electric only range is still good and the HV battery boosts economy overall. We absolutely love it.
@@damos_cars Thank you, appreciate your feedback and comment
Engine need to keep running or turn off?....for how long to recharge the battery?
Engine off!!! Until it’s fully charged. Buy a charger with a gauge so you know.
Tqvm
Great to see people going into these types of businesses. Hope it all works out as you seem very knowledgeable and someone people would happily spend their hard earned money with👍
Can these plug-in models be flat-towed?
nadda not with the auto. Flatbed truck only.
@@damos_cars thanks
Hi Damo. Bet you hate the fact that I keep watching these vids as you’re reticent to say anything bad about the car?! 🤣 Yes - I replaced the head unit as it still had the original when I bought it and I really wanted CarPlay. I also thought the subwoofer didn’t work - although B&C inspected it and said it did, and it’s normal for it not to make much difference. But I think they just copped out - I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work. Possible that it’s a connection issue at the back of the head unit if you feel like pulling it out to take a look! One other function of sport mode: doesn’t just reduce, but actively disables traction control. Don’t ask me how I know! 🤣
Ha ha not at all. I love that you watch and keep the connection with the car. The head unit is definitely on the list for some attention, I'm mentally putting it off as I'm always reluctant to remove trim for fear of damaging it. I'd forgotten sport mode removes the traction control! Cheers.
I am thinking of buying a 2017 atm. Wondering how tall Damo is as I'm 6ft.
5’10”. You’ll fit fine but it’ll be tight for anyone sat in the back seat behind you. Cheers 👍👍

Hi. 🇵🇱
Hello! Thanks for watching.
@@damos_cars 👍
Just bought my first folding bike, a carrera 8 speed.. fantastic purchase and never going back to a standard bike...its lightweight yet solid, fast and a comfort to ride..the large cog really moves the bike along at great speed when needed .. grest for general cycling to work, visiting friends or getting around the City....complete with mudguards, bike stand and rack for carrying items...so much easier to ride than the larger framed standard bikes...folding bikes forever 😊
Bought my Evora S from Farnham 4 months ago and drove home to Barnsley - wow, just wow - the most amazing car in every way; great review
Hi, Damo, Recently, my C350e has always kept the engine on even though on thr hybrid mode. AND the E-mode is not available. Do you have any idea about this issue?
Invariably it'll be starter motor or 12v battery related. Replace both of those things and you'll be golden! Checkout facebook.com/groups/774198474775819 for more help
It has everything you need, and nothing you don’t 😊
Ha Ha! Yes that's very true and the manual windows keep your arms fit.
Have a kendo, 2011 nc and absolutely love, i didn't know cars could handel that well. But im so glad i found out. John
Enjoy it, thanks for watching - check out the other MX5 videos too...
Nice car but i'd rather have the 6 speed manual gear box in the roadster convertible.
Ooo yeh nice. You pay a bit more in car tax in the UK with those but a great choice. You can hear the engine with the roof down!
It sounds like your car has that exact same sound mine does when accelerating: ua-cam.com/users/shortsekPFVOOUynU?feature=share Have you done any investigation into this?
Interesting, no I only borrowed this car for this video.
On my 3 audi a4 b7 3.0tdi 240bhp quattro convertible 200k awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍
Wowsers! Love it.
Any possible reason why E-mode is disabled and the engine won't shut off on hybrid mode? It is exactly as you mentioned about the starter issue, but I don't see check lights or any other issue. Thanks!
It’ll be the starter. The check light will come on at some point. Thanks. Worth checking the other videos where I talk about this more.
@@damos_cars Thank you for reply. I did watch all of them <3
But I couldn't find anyone mentioned this issue...How is it going, have you fixed it mate?@vitalikartsivadze
Best car ever!!!!
Yes, it definitely is and if isn't the best car ever its certainly the best French car ever. Well one of the best. The best for the 80s. The best French, hot hatch for the 80s.
One of the stupidest designs I think I’ve ever seen. Mercedes never ceases to disappoint
A lot of cars do it like this now.
I bought one last week, with just 19k kilometers and I am very happy with it 😊👍
Excellent - you'll be needing this playlist to help you get acquainted with what is definitely the best car in the WORLD!!... ua-cam.com/play/PLOCda-wyPDq0L4Px5wWinmcOCXix2fv33.html Thank you!
@@damos_cars Thanks mate 👍
You can buy seat lowering brackets which are a great addition! I’m 6ft 2 and they are essential for me . Cheers Simon
I could but I don't drive it that often my wife does. Its her car and if she sat any lower then she'd look like a mole peeping out a mole hill and wouldn't be able to see over the steering wheel. So for now the best fix I've come up with is never to get in it again. :-D
I disagree about the auxillery battery. The C Class has a capacitor on all models EXCEPT the hybrid models. The auxillery battery is actually a battery, part number MBA0009829508. I replaced mine last week. It was ok for a week but I'm getting the warning again, so seems like the battery isn't charging rather than it being the battery.
so what was the end problem and result? Thanks
@@damos_carsCurrently trying to get it booked in to Mercedes to get a proper diagnosis. Loved your review video of the car by the way. I was 50/50 about switching to hybrid but from your review I could see it was perfect for my work commute and general pottering about
Sir, we have full electric boot but we can't open using foot why?
No idea! Sorry - maybe dirt on the sensor somewhere?
Great video looking at one tommrow, when it says 1.4 verve, what does verve mean
Yeh good one! Congrats on the new car.
good stuff
thank you!
I had an NSX. If someone said to me, "Nice Honda" I would feel, "Yeah it really is a NICE Honda" lol I eventually replaced it with an Evora GT, best Lotus you can get in the States.
Ahhh good one! It's not all bad I know have a red one!
I have to do this everyday now with my 2020 c300. 😢 it’s just sad. I feel like I’m driving a piece of junk. I guess I need a new 12v battery but I want to postpone it as much as possible.
Get a new battery buddy.
So, do they break?
They're brass, the point of failure is redirected to the mechanism so do this at your own risk...
From Benz ...they destroy the cars with bad software ... good car but switch of interest of the car... because you are in troubles... soon the problems started.cheers!
ok, thanks.
Great video, thanks! I'm collecting the car tomorrow and you've answered a lot of questions for me 👍
Makes you think Damo, people aren’t paying near £100k for a Mark 1 escort, they are buying a memory from childhood which just happens to be a car!
thank you
You're welcome
always good to hear from an actual owner. i heard the steering and shifter abit better in the 2012 - 2014/series 1
Yeh true, there's things you can do to resolve. You should check out my more recent videos because I bought another one!
@@damos_cars hi there. thanks for write back. agreed, on solutions. looking forward to your other video. Mike
Because it’s a convertible?
I'm not going to give it away :-D LOL
Such a good looking car, still holds up very well. Just bought my 2nd one.
Heyya, Thanks for all the insights you shared in the video. I am considering to get one for the next 3 years use, looking at the 2015-2017 made. I felt it difficult to tip my decision to get the Plug-in hybrid over a petrol ICE, but your video helps.
Hey no worries! Thank you. I really recommend the phev, it very versatile 😂. Take a look at my other C350e videos here: ua-cam.com/play/PLOCda-wyPDq0L4Px5wWinmcOCXix2fv33.html&si=fCCUfVlRtqZjgqve Lots more useful info on those too!
Don't forget to get some ceramic coating on the pepperpots ;)
Ar mate . Always loved the 1.9 wheels over 1.6
Yeh, they're nice but not really correct for the car. I like both but prefer the 1.6 to be back to how it was meant to look!
@damos_cars yeah originality means alot as car such a classic status now
Mate I owned a 16 GTI from New, I had it for 3.5 years and it never went wrong once, I also had a 1.9 GTI from New having traded the 1.6 in for it. The fuel pump packed up after a month, replaced under warranty and that also never went wrong for the next 4 years, Brilliant cars would get one new if they still made them. Those 1.9 alloys have more offset than the standard ones and the 1.9 had different camber and toe in so its not going to steer as well as the standard 1.6 that had a front end that would not let go and a rear that would. You need to be very good to not get caught out when on the limit and most magazine road testers thought the same, that was partly the reason that they changed the front end set up as it made the 1.9 better balanced as in, I had no problem sliding the rear of the 1.9. Car Magazine put the 1.9 up against a Lotus Esprit along some country roads, and none of their drivers could beat the 1.9 in the Lotus, no matter what driver was in whatever car, that's what makes the 1.9 GTi the best hot hatch ever, loads of torque in a lightweight car with a brilliant chassis, just the best fun ever. Unfortunately, they are just so old and have had every plonker in the world tarting around with them, so reliability won't be good.
I love my 3.0 v6 quattro b7 , couple issues but worth every penny for reliability.
yeh, absolutely cracking motors!
