Actual report
The technical Mercedes Benz 220S w180 restoration at Riga Master Workshop has entered the fine-tuning phase following initial road evaluations. This week, our team focused on optimizing engine performance and cabin detailing. We corrected some issues detected during the test drives including engine stop on low rpm, which required a thorough inspection of the ignition system and the installation of new Bosch spark plugs.
Technical diagnostics using a gas analyzer were performed to ensure optimal fuel combustion and idle stability. Additionally, we finalized the weather stripping on the door frames and addressed electrical wiring within the dashboard assembly. With these mechanical corrections completed, the vehicle is prepared for further high-speed testing to verify system reliability.
