I'm super excited to announce a totally free way that anyone can support the channel!! I was approved for an Amazon Influencer account which allows YouTubers like myself, and other creators to earn a small commission from sales generated from people first clicking on my Amazon link, and then buying anything from Amazon. This doesn't cost you a penny as Amazon compensates the creators for driving traffic and sales to the site. So even if you don't buy the product or tool that I link in the video description box, you are still supporting the channel by shopping on Amazon after you clicked through any of my links. Each video will have either specific links to things I use or talk about in the video, or you will see my general LegitStreetCars Amazon link like this.

Next time you need car parts, tools, diapers, condoms, fidget spinners or anything on Amazon think of good ole Alex from LegitStreetCars.

    3 hours book time for the dealer to do spark plugs….just proves how much of a scam “book time” is 😂….I can do my front brake pads in 20 mins…..and the dealership wants 2-2.5 book time hours to do it! Lmao

    My pops was a mechanic for 30 years. He always took his time working on any car never had any comebacks. He said young guys in the shop would Pride themselves working fast but they always had comebacks he said.

    great video alex, but clean the maf sensor from both sides.

    Yeah, your buddy that could complete a tune-up in 15 minutes was likely the jack-ass who forgot to put oil back in my E550. Not impressed…take pride in your work rather than to finish to play video games

    How’s it going I got a 2003 s55 amg, same m113k supercharged motor. I was wondering is it supposed to have a ticking noise in the motor normally??

    Hi Alex. Another big thank you from Ireland. It’s great going back over your older videos on the how to. Torque specs 👍 etc. Everything you need to know 👍. Used this vid to change the plug on my w210 E55 yesterday. Took me over an hour. Love the jokes in the new videos. Thanks again Paul.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars metal1150 says:

    hey alex, great vids always! Was doing the plugs on my E55, like yours they were pretty dirty, soot, but also oil on the threads. This normal for these engines, or is this an issue with valve seals??

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alfredo Calpito says:

    I love this engine with 12 Spark plugs…it’s a high performance engine from Mercedes Bens…I see big improvement when I mixed the plugs with copper and silver plugs…

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LegitStreetCars says:

    What the highest mileage spark plugs you've pulled? From the messages I've received these were the original plugs with 150,000 miles. I mean I have to admit I can't tell any difference in performance with fresh plugs. These newer cars with super high voltage ignition systems are pretty good at jumping a spark, haha. The dual spark plugs probably help a tad.
