Actual report
The technical Mercedes Benz 220S w180 restoration at Riga Master Workshop is entering its final verification phase following initial road evaluations. To ensure peak mechanical reliability, we strategically removed the engine and the rear axle for targeted remediation.
Our technicians focused on eliminating oil leaks from the powertrain by refurbishing the valve cover and internal sealing surfaces. Simultaneously, the rear axle underwent technical service to adjust the differential and calibrate the braking system, including a run-out check with a dial indicator. We also refurbished the transmission and throttle linkages to ensure factory-standard operational precision. With these refinements complete, the vehicle is now technically ready for the next test drives.
