This video kicks off the build series on my 2003 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG. In this episode, I install a VRP Heat Exchanger and end up finding some repairs that need to be done along the way.

Alex, Was your goal, in the beginning, to go full-time on YouTube? FYI… I'm binge-watching older LSC videos today 02/12/23
What's the most power you can get out of this engine
hey Alex, once you do the split cooling, do you have to bleed the engine cooling system? if yes, how?
Bro I'm in VA Beach, I'm thinking of installing a a stage 3 or 4 power package for my SL 55 2005 , how did your car hold up with all those modifications?
When installing an enlarged cooler, what to do with the additional radiator at the bottom of the compressor cooler?
yo man are you located in southern Cali? would love to stop by with my e55
I love your videos and the great information you provide, but your taste in music sucks. Please for the love of God no more of that sort of music. Quiet is much better!!
Can this upgrade be done just the same in the C 32amg? Would love to know.
Great work Alex
Watching your vids and have a small issue with a Vrp add on throttle upgrade .
Installed a 92 mm and know I have a
Throttle fault code . Any ideas to fix that issue?
Also what’s the Vrp discount code ?
Thx for any help
Jeff
(3 years into the future) but want to ask if the VRP heat exchanger will fit with the w211 e63 as well?
Would you guys go with VRP Speed or Fabtech for performance packages?
I really love this build. So much i went out and bought me my own E55 AMG =)
You ever have any interest taking on a paid project car? I figure with your background and interest in the M113k engine, you might have fun with it! Car? SL55 AMG m113k
If you will explain the process step by step will be better.
Hi Alex, I have recently purchased an E55 AMG with the M113K engine that has had the VRP split cooling system mod done to it. My question is, should the system be using straight coolant? It appears that my reservoir is quite oily inside, as though someone has added power steer hydraulic fluid to the system by mistake, thinking that it was a power steering reservoir (looks the same on some vehicles, (I am also an auto mechanic). Just wondering your thoughts? Could this have been done to "thicken" the viscosity of the fluid so that it is circulating through the intercooler system slower and absorbing more heat??? Or do you think I should flush the system with some radiator flush\degreaser and use a quality
proven coolant\antifreeze instead. Love your videos.
Cheers Andrew
I have a 02 C32
I have been topping off coolant for 2 weeks now but I see no visible leaks.
Pressure tested also and it shows no leaks.
I have Bosch IC pump with 3k on it
Any help would be greatly appreciated
