MERCEDES C63 AMG MOST COMMON FAULTS ON THE M156 ENGINE

[@edwardhawker9843]

Really solid content. Nicely edited, no faff, clear and sensible advice. This is super helpful - thank you!

[@everything_amg]

Thank you for the kind words buddy.

[@BLACKOUT41689]

Extremely insightful and informative. Can honestly say the information is spot on and all true as a W204 C63 owner myself. Also wanted to add on a small possibility of the coolant level sensor failing on the W204.

[@isaacdarby8191]

Can you still get hold of carbon fibre engine cover? Can't find one anywhere. Cheers

[@everything_amg]

They are available online mate, here’s a link to an eBay listing, stupid money though, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143569413272?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=66tBQLApSNK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Great honest informative video . I’m looking at a secondhand one of these atm

[@thegame123ize]

I got late 2011 production 4door C63 AmG p30 package from Japan, waiting to be imported. If u are aware of the Japanese Auction they provide grades & auction sheets which has information on faults & features of the car. It didn't mentioned anything & the car is super clean but today when my car friend in Japan took it for a ride he side it's not taking off as it should & there's a maintainance code something to do with the exhaust system & the temperature gauge is moving when accelerating. Need suggestions what should we look for?

[@iskanderjaffer9432]

Please bro Are you recommending me to buy the c63 2013 ? But the problem that I am living in Yemen 🇾🇪 and there is no spare part or engineering who can fix it 🥲 and I really want’s one but I am afraid

[@sezzzi1]

Hi what would excessive oil buring be? mine uses a liter every 3 or 4000 miles

[@everything_amg]

Thanks for the comment. Mine started to do this but I drove it hard most of the time and used it as a daily, also had my second cats deleted and it was stage 1 remapped, so I put a lot of it on that. Considering the age of these engines now I would say this is normal, how much oil are you putting in every 3 to 4000 miles?

[@sezzzi1]

@@everything_amg It takes 1 liter every 3 or 4000 miles i uasually wait until my low oil warning comes on then poor in a liter to get it back to max level. I have the edition 507. with about 35000 miles on it I had an BMW M4 before this and the oil consumption was about the same when driven hard

[@ziyadkaz110]

Mine uses a liter ever 3-4000km which is about 2-2500miles. I was told my the mechanic that I should address it soon but if I too it up as required, it wouldn't damage the engine. So is this 100% a crankcase breather valve issue ? Or should I look something else also ? There is no oil leaks at all below or in the engine. 2013 C63 p31 91000km

[@MrCamus83]

very good video, i changed the crankcase breather today, too bad i did not see your video before ,to check the bottom of the intake to see if there's any cracks, but car sound much better.

[@Khanpasha47]

I live in London. What oil works best for this climate. What garage would you recommend for maintenance & works. Thats not costly like Mercedes.

[@FirearmTutorials]

Spot on. This guy knows a lot about this engine.

Hello bro! your video was so good! 5+ for your video

[@everything_amg]

Ahhh man love the support thank you so much!

[@chrispy104k]

Thanks Joe, good advice for someone considering picking up a second had car.

[@Daniel-or5fx]

Where did you get the extended warranty from mate ? I Thought the extended warranty only came on newer cars ? Any advice is much appreciated as I’m looking to get one of theses asap

[@WindsorGoldPlating]

Just got a car on warranty and had a diagnostic check. My drivers side adjuster needs changing as I've got a rattle for just a second on start up. Been told its bank 1. Never cold start tho, only once the car is warmed up. Your videos are brilliant! Cheers.

[@everything_amg]

Sorry to hear that, thank you though!

[@silversleeper484]

Great Job

[@GlassfilmWeddings]

my headblts broke and coolant mix oil. was able to save my engine and has been good for 60,000km. Use ceratec and it will protect all the internals. change oil every 6-8000km.

@c63_420

[@everything_amg]

Thank you for this comment, I’ve had people saying this isn’t a common fault on the pre facelift M156 engine, when it really is, I’m glad your engine was saved, hope your still enjoying it ✌🏽

[@GlassfilmWeddings]

@@everything_amg its almost a guarantee with high mileage pre facelift vehicles. would not buy one unless they have been updated. Us amg owners love our race inspired m156 and the problems are not many but specific. the bottom end is built amazing. Any amg nerd will send you to @Tasosmoschatos for more in depth details of all the problems and rebuilds.

hey buddy i have 2010 facelift ML63 do i still have engine problems as 2007 2008 years?thnx

[@everything_amg]

Yes they still suffer with certain problems and there is more common faults with that engine.

[@endri15255]

[@ezywin_matrixoutsider]

Engine light check just poped today on My C63 2013, I don’t know why or what happened, I only have X pipe as a mod

[@everything_amg]

Wouldn't stress, it can be anything like a sensor or something, get it scanned and the fault codes wiped, give it a drive and see if it comes back on.

[@romain3960]

Is it mandatory to change oil when adding Mso2? My oil was changed 2400 miles ago, can I just put MSo2 plus lifter additive into the engine and run it?

[@HafizurRahman-ih7ys]

A must channel for anyone looking for c63. Looking to buy one this year!😧

[@WilC379]

Did you end up picking one up in 2022?

[@HafizurRahman-ih7ys]

@@WilC379 unfortunately no, a lot I viewed around 22k-24k was either too basic or molested. Mint c63 saloon are around 28k-30k low mileage. After viewing a PPP package C63 which ended up having top sump oil leak, I couldn’t stick to the “basic” c63 but the PPP package C63 aren’t coming. Still on the search sort of haha it is a bucket list car I want to own so not feeling too rushed right now.

[@WilC379]

@@HafizurRahman-ih7ys Too bad. We were looking for a C63s Cabriolet for a fun weekend car, but the one's we liked were selling for almost new sticker even though they were 3-4 years old. Looking around on old threads on MBWorld people were picking up two year old ones for $45k. It looks like the market is starting to come down slowly, so maybe this will be the year we buy one.

[@MrNdz71]

Excellent video straight forward and straight to the point well done 👍 very helpful

[@togodog2314]

If your oil is a little low, adjusters click alittle so keep it at max. Change oil very often. So far mines going strong. Big win for AMG at Rolex boys so yeah!

[@HorsepowerTherapy2]

adjusters make noise because either the locking pin is worn or the backing plate is worn. Has nothing to do with low oil.

[@togodog2314]

That too but low oil flow in adjuster cause clicking too. That's why these engines are known when on start up you hear adjusters then noise goes away. Thats cause takes a few seconds for oil to enter in adjusters.

[@sebbe046]

Thanks for a great video, been looking for this for some time now. A few questions: For how long have Mercedes extended the warranty for the different issues with the engine? BR, massiv fan

[@everything_amg]

Hey Sebastian, thank you buddy. I purchase extended warranty from Mercedes Benz, which cost around £1600.00 I believe for 12 months, as far as I know the warranty doesn’t extend further after fixing the issues. My extended warranty runs out in March, one thing I will say is that MB are useless when it comes warranty work, I had to fight a lot do with them to get the work done, so beware!

[@whollymindless]

@@everything_amg When I saw an engine block was $16k US, I opted for the warranty as well.

[@hionaking2530]

Cool video man keep it up

[@danielram9223]

Very good video! I had an S63 with the headbolt issue.. was quoted £8000 to fix it! These cars are no joke, do your research before jumping in the deep end like I did

[@everything_amg]

Very true buddy

[@jskekekskdie3450]

I’m feeling that now...

[@captainjacksparrow1]

Any cheaper solution?

[@jskekekskdie3450]

@@captainjacksparrow1 not really man, if you really want the car to perform like an amg should. If not, lifters will go out, then the head bolts, then camshaft start to dull, then piston gets stuck in the head and you end up taking it off and remachine it. Which happened to me and ended up spending 6000$ but glad to say I love the car. 2010 c63 amg long tube headers full decat and res delete with stock mufflers.

Mine is running 1000 rpm idle in park and neutral. And 500 rpm in drive. Any idea?

[@markandlew]

Nice video! Have you done anything to the dashboard squeaks, or pano room creaking?

[@everything_amg]

Thanks mate, no I haven’t, these cars suffer with dashboard and sunroof creaking, will be doing a video on that soon ✌🏽

[@craigbennett9625]

Great helpful video Mate thank you. Have you heard of an issue where there is an engine tick that can only be heard from inside the cabin at approx 2000rpm under load? All other times engine sounds perfect.

[@everything_amg]

I would seriously recommend ignoring it, if everything is running right and you can’t see any performance problems with the car I would suggest leaving it alone. These engines are known for making ticks constantly.
