I Fixed Everything On My Cheap C63 AMG But Then It Broke Twice On Our First Drive. Amazing V8 Sound!

In this video I finish sorting the mechanic issues with my 2009 C63 AMG including a 722.9 7-speed Mercedes transmission service. I'm feeling pretty good so we take the car out on it's maiden voyage to have a little fun. With a new engine mount and power steering pump, I'm able to go full throttle which is fun for a while until the car breaks, twice. The good part, you guys get to hear how this M156 engine sounds opened up and let me tell you, it's glorious. Enjoy!

Maybe, but the wires connected to the negative pole of his battery is a sensor who tells the amps capacity to the calculator, so if it's disconnected, you have a red battery light + a nice little message^^

Battery management sensor wiring was shot/manipulated, so the altenator doesn't know the s.o.c. of the battery, I'd look at that first.. Maybe the battery just isn't being charged die to the above

We need an E55 vs C63 race or comparison video. Would help me out a bunch since I’m currently cross shopping those

[@EpicGoldenWarrior]

Very different; both will achieve speed and sound at similar ways but differently. C63 has more updated look, E55 has ABC suspension (great but very problematic) however the 55 engine is much more reliable than the 63. The 08-11 models have the headbolts issue which NEEDS to be done, or you will blow your engine. That is $3k at least alone, so check that they have been done or get a 2012+ facelift. E55 has the 5 speed transmission which isn't as nice as the 7 speed in the C63 however both are adequate.

[@alexarias44]

Adrian the E55 does not have ABC.

[@talkditingsdem5799]

@@EpicGoldenWarrior Do you own either? Because you're wrong on so many levels. You need to stay off these videos and gather up some real life info on these cars. I'm sick of people talking about the headbolt issue, which truly only affected 3% of the m156 engines. People heard about it and just ran with it, but no one never know anyone that it personally happen to. Also it will not "blow up", the headbolt, just leaked coolant into the oil, so anyone can catch it before anything close to catastrophic even happens. With regular maintenance the m156 engine is just as reliable than any AMG engine. Also the e55 do not come with the ABC suspension, that was the cl55, s55. The e55 come with at the time their new SemiActive Air Suspension AIRmatic. I hate when people answer people questions on KZbin, with no real experience with these type of cars.

[@gagemidgett2647]

I was shopping for e55 or e63 for the past few months, finally found the right 2011e63. The c-class platform is what I owned previously but is an extremely small car compared to an e-class in reality. If you don’t mind the tight fit then I’d still consider it in the running...anyways e55’s are more tuner friendly and easier to work on while an e63 is more limited in its easy power gains potential. The right car is important, I would’ve happily had either but lack of maintenance and mods scared me away from most e55’s. Also both cars have flaws, don’t let people scare you away with horror stories just be aware and do your research.

[@danielchaidez4047]

Gage Midgett yeah I’m coming from a C55 which I loved, and at just a hair over a 5’9 the C55 was fine so I expect the C63 to be fine but my 6’4 best friend did complain about the small W203 all the time. based on what I’ve researched the C63 FBO w E85 can hit low 11s if you have enough tire. Which the E55 can as well for less money but heat soak is the issue. it’s going to come down to which one I find a good example of first but either way can’t lose. Handling, Looks, sounds, gearbox and interior all go to the C63 imo. Mod Potential, 1/4, sleeper status, comfort, and reliability by a small margin are the E55.

Probably the alternator voltage regulator as a first port of call - the one on my 08 CLK 63 also went out on a particularly spirited drive. Common hassle on the 2000's Mercs (as you discovered on the E55). Can't wait to hear this thing with the Long Tube headers - and please do an X-Pipe exhaust on it! Sounds sooooo much better & more refined than the more common blaring V8 H-pipe setups.

[@LegitStreetCars]

Very good call

[@portuguesepetrolhead]

How come you didn't drain the torque convertor? Essentially almost killed half the life of the new fluid by contaminating it with all that fluid in the torque convertor.

Sorry mate Amg's are all engine, drive a e92/3 M3 V8 it's a different league, sound, performance, they say M cars are ultimate driving machines and they truly are, I would know as I've driven many cars, own a e93 M3.... Or M5 v10... Both as total beasts

[@Fee.1]

Definitely one of the best sounding cross plane v8’s, along with the e92, though they’re very different. I didn’t know you had a “day job”, not sure why. Isn’t it ironic that Mercedes went from arguably the worst car’s sound wise, with BMW straight 6’s sounding better than stock AMG’s. You might hear some blower whine. Then the 6.2 liter set a new standard and soon Mercedes turbo v8’s sounded better than their old NA/supercharged v8’s stock. Only Mercedes has improved the sound experience across their fleet after downsizing + turbocharging.everyone else has suffered

That fluid was terrible, and yes, the crackle in the exhaust is from lack of mufflers. Though, I have no doubts the tune increased that crackle. Also, throttle by wire, and (shudders) brake by wire..... those are the two most stupid things on modern vehicles, as well as electronic parking brakes...... Those things should not be made electronic, more so in this day and age, when lead solder is no longer used in automobiles. The nifty things about lead in solder? It keeps the soldered points more stable during heat cycles (which vehicles heat cycle, a lot....) and prevents these nasty things called tin whiskers. The fun thing about lead free solder, it gets brittle and cracks as it heat cycles, and tin whiskers start to form over time as well if the joints do not break first. And the best part about tin whiskers? They can grow without being seen with the naked eye, and yet can still start shorts between components.... Yes, aircraft use fly by wire systems, but they still use lead, for these very reasons. Military and aerospace still use lead for good reasons. Modern cars, with lead free solders and all these electrical items that are, you know, safety items..... nope, not going to hold up over time, and I will not trust my life to an old car with lead free solder and any drive by wire systems. That is just a deathtrap waiting to happen at that point. But, lets see the hate flow through from those that can not wrap their heads around this.

Get rid of that "Autocrap" battery---they suck! Interstate or Bosch only on a Benz (or an O.E. battery)

[@ardennielsen3761]

what sounds better is a... 350 chevy with short tube 2 inch headers that go into a 3 inch collector, a 3 inch cross over to a single 3.5 inch that come together at a 75 degree angle, 2 feet of 3.5 inch then a old style 13 inch glass pack with the raised internal fins that dumps out the side of the car thru a horn tip like on a nascar!!!

[@thestiggie7765]

Is there anything that sounds better than the M16? A Tesla. There is logic to it: you mentioned getting arrested. You probably won't if you're stealthy, bro :D

[@vegancyclist8853]

Hahaha. Nothing more expensive and less prestigious than a worn out Mercedes. It's like wearing a shirt that says bad choices.

If the car's noise level would be illegal in California, it would be even more so in Pennsylvania, and you'd have the added horror of having to face a Pennsylvania state trooper.

C63 is not that loud compare with a hellcat, it is not even as loud as a fiat 500 abarth. So you are ok, no worry of being pull over.
