man i've been chasing these issues for weeks now. 2017 g63. Coolant hose to turbo blew off, engine overheated to 260, melted numerous gaskets, damaged water pump, oil filter housing, what a mess. Thanks for the video.

Hello! My check engine light is on and runs rough rpm jumps for a few minutes and then it goes away is it possible that I could have the same problem

You should scan your check engine light first and see what the codes are. Should point you in the right direction

Hey VM, I got the same issue on my 2017. Man, it's a tight fit from what I see. How did you get to it? Did you remove the two hoses first (That were not connected to the Aux pump), then slide the grommet off in order to get to the screw points on the hose clamps in order to remove the Aux pump out? I will probably replace the two hoses. It's the Aux pump that is causing the leaks, but while I'm down there I will attempt to replace the hoses if not too difficult. It seems whatever you had as issues on your AMG, I am having as well. But I still love my G63. Thanks for all that you do. 😊

It's actually not too hard to get out, but it's a good idea to replace the hoses

Thanks for posting this ViperMike. I'm interested in replacing the sub in my new 2025 3X truck. If you had to do it over again, would you replace the enclosure all together, or just put an amp on your existing setup?
@ViperMike29 күн бұрын
Realistically this upgraded sub needs an external amp. I didn’t really notice much difference since changing the sub out. I haven’t found a good place to run a power wire from the 12v battery to power an external amp and didn’t want to drill any holes, so I didn’t install one.

During the Service A maintenance, the Mercedes mechanic told me that there is a little leakage of oil at the oil filter housing from my 2013 GL 63. I already bought the plunger for the M157 engine (part no. A 278 180 04 38 for 10$). Because of the minimum leakage and my minimum use of the car I will do nothing at the moment. Any idea how many hours it cost to replace?
@ViperMike2 ай бұрын
If they can get the plunger out without taking the filter housing off, it should be a simple fix. Otherwise it would take the the same amount of time this took me to do

Hi. Can you tell me where exactly the oil was leaking from? I have this problem in a Mercedes CLS 63 AMG with the same engine, from what I noticed the oil is probably leaking from the round cap and it can be replaced without dismantling the whole thing. I think the entire base of the oil filter is good and the problem is only in this round cap
@ViperMike3 ай бұрын
Yes you can replace the cap itself. I just didn’t know if the part was available separately, so I did the whole housing

Maybe you could help: I got missfire on cyl 5, replaced the injector 2 times - nothing. The injector works for a few rotates when engine is idling and then shuts off. Got weird value at o2 sensor upstream of cat 6.62 something like that and does not go down. Changed the o2 sensor and still have the same values. Saw some oil in the connector, cleaned it and also nothing changed. So I'am thinking what could it be.

They’re a pain to install and ride the same as BC’s. If you’re on a budget just get the BC ones. Some that are a bit more expensive that seem to be popular are MCS. Not as crazy priced as Motons or Penske’s but seem to do a good job. I recently switched the BC’s in my car to a set of KW V3’s and noticed a big difference. KW’s ride much smoother.

it depends on the company that's doing the cloning. If they copy everything, I don't think you'll have to do an adaptation. Yes I think you have to final fill with it warm
