- My Cheap C63 AMG won't stop breaking. It literally broke while filming this video! Here's everything wrong with the cheapest C63 AMG in the county, my new long tube headers, and exhaust, and installing my first suspension mod.
Syncro design Monoball thrust arms from FCP Euro.

Would you have bought it for $8,500?
Only If were as skilled a mechanic as you.
Yea epesicaly if you can do all the work yourself
Yes, and my wife would probably leave me haha
Sure these go €20k+ in Europe
Totally would pay that....if a had a lift like you, and your skills, and an awesome set of tools, and didn't have 10 thumbs.
Previous owner: "I have money for the payment, but not enough for the repairs"
Chip Holland so true
Sometimes moving away is just the right thing to do
Well he wanted a CTSV.....soooooo yeah XD
Sounds like most owners who buy German cars lol
The repair money went towards gold tape and stickers.
Keep it coming. Excited to watch this series.
It didn't even came with Pirelli tires but it came with a extra headlight. Who knows if the previous owner even uses Mobil1
It's he's shopping list so he doesn't forget
That is one ghetto-fied Mercedes 🙈
Gold foil in the engine bay? Who owned this...Tavarish? 😂😂
Jim Banville yes yes he did .. iron man said :😳💀
I still can't believe it has that low of miles too, looks like 130k mile plus car.
I love the look you said you're going for. Stock, but with little updates to make it look a little better than factory. Love the videos man keep it up!
Really loving these uploads and loving forward to more as parts come in and you give us more content.
Water got into my BMW’s xenon headlight housing... the I replaced the bulb and it still didn’t work so I thought it was the wiring but it ended up only being the ballast and the actual xenon light was fine. Hope that could be of help with your headlight situation
Excited to see you bring this thing back to it's former glory.
OMG I have the same noise that was driving me crazy
I installed new arms 6 months ago I check and sure enough
thanks I have a c350 sport and all the work you do on this car besides the engine works wonders for me keep it up 👍🏽👏🏽
excellent content!! i cant wait to see all the new videos with the C63
Man that thing was rode hard lol good stuff Alex
Brot u need 2 million subscribers. You have motivated me to retry my goal of loving working on Cars. I only work on a.certain car since I love it so much but I need to learn how to love all cars and have the patience of a mechanic
So pleased you're going back to factory look. I have never understood shopping list stickers.
Great video! It´s coming along nicely :)
Really curious to hear what it will sound like with the LTHs and straight pipes haha!
You are very optimist person & always in good mood, everything seem to be easy for U.
Great content. I love your informative channel.
Every time I see the bare engine I can’t believe how massive it looks....and difficult to maneuver around lol. Good luck Alex I know you will make this c63 special!
Was waiting for this vid!
Wait for this morning's video. We dig deeper
Looking good so far! Can’t wait to see the headlight clean up and ceramic coating results. To bad the front lips in such bad shape. Id like to have one myself.
It's such a POS...but that only makes me more excited of what's to come. Makes me wanna go buy one and fix one myself. Keep these videos coming its gonna be sweet once your done with it
I’m loving this car and it’s repairs so far.
I love how you make me feel so comfortable with these expensive cars.
They are an absolute nightmare unless you have a ton of mechanic experience like the OP.
Man I love the exhaust note on that C63... wild thing
I just love your honesty!
I was getting moisture in my headlight when going through the car wash and replacing the igniter did the trick for me.
Awesome video as always! Have you considered putting an X or H pipe on the car? I think a traditional H pipe would sound amazing, even better then the X pipe.
I'm so glad this car is in good hands now! Deserves it!
You sure this thing wasn't used in NASCAR ?? 😂😂
Good videos mate 👍
Curious to see how you install those headers, either way they’re a major pain in the ass to do but definitely worth it. Cars like these are great for the DYI’er, they’re cheap to buy, relatively easy to fix and when you’re done you’re ballin baby 👊🏼
Oh well... there's the fixer upper you wanted boss!... great potential and a very nice car though!
55tech has updated grilles if you are interested in those. Just make sure to reuse the stock upper piece that’s attached to the hood or make some sort of gasket between the grille piece and the hood to prevent whistling on the highway.
Wooooo! New video!!
Is the bumper only being held on by the tow hook?
I had the Riopy, 22 minute advert, it was pure bliss 😎
I think this is the most stressed I have seen you lol I wouldn’t blame you! Cant wait for future content!!
Love the look of the C63, minus all the decorative nonsense. Looks like you’re going to have your hands full on this build. Good luck.
Its going to be so much louder with the long tube headers. Can't wait to see and hear it afterwards
Wow I wish I knew about those joints before... that's amazing
Cool project. All that stuff can be fixed and as you're providing the labor, you're going to be way ahead of the game- can sell the car and make a few bucks. Well done. Subbed.
That gold is SAAWEEEET!! Love ur videos
Another Great Video!!!!!!!!
Arab Special deal for sure... surprised the oil was so clean. I know you will do right by this car keep it up.
As someone who knows jack shit about the mechanics but loves the W204 C63 this is awesome to watch. Very professional too.
I like the carbon fiber front spoiler. You should replace it with something similar so it goes with the rear defuser
Looking forward to it being returned to near standard ( looks wise anyway) good vid as usual 😎
Great video! I am looking forward to more videos of this car especially the header install and other go fast bits! I am awaiting the delivery of my 2014 C63 507 Edition Coupe. I should have it by next week. I also use to have a 2011 C63 sedan that looked just like this one that you are fixing. I want to do headers, catback, intake, tune and some e85 on this one that I am getting. It sounds similar to what you may be doing so I am curious as to what kind of power it makes cause I am sure you will get it done before I have mine all done.
Great video’s ! compliment from the Netherlands ! I have a 2013 C250 cdi coupe AMG line....
the C63 is too expensive on fuel in the Netherlands (8 usd per gallon) so I drive a Diesel twin turbo
204 bhp and 500 nm torque, diesel , diesel costs 4,5 usd per gallon...
My car had the same issue with water wrecking the headlight, it turns out it was just the ballast which is attached to the bottom of the headlight assembly. It's cheap, around $100 for a used one on eBay. The hard part is getting at it, the bumper has to somewhat come apart to get the light off. After that, the ballast just attaches on to the bottom of the headlight. Hopefully that's all yours needs!
i cant wait to see how this car sounds, thats how you know the sound is god tier, when u can see the sound
Sounds sick.
I love FCPEURO. I recommend them 100 percent. Has a life warranty for every part.
YEESSS FINALLY SOMETHING TO FIX!!!
federal 595 rs-rr, good tires, grips very well on the track
would buy in a heartbeat
Hey Alex, awesome video! Who was the previous owner? Bozo the clown? Miss matched tires, parts from Home Depot, crappy exhaust. Damn!😂🤣😂
You plug FCP Euro, I get an ad for ECS Tuning lol
I see it 😅 well done bro you do great job as always 👌
Is there anything the previous owner did that wasn’t half assed?
I was about to get mad about the exhaust tips and complain then I remembered your cutting them off :)
You won't need A/C tomorrow-snow in Chicago! 🤣
Looking forward to seeing what those camshaft/valve buckets look like.
Watch tomorrow's video
Those look so good in red. I just got into the Mercedes club but I wimped out on getting an AMG I almost pulled the trigger on 2 E63 AMGs but both sold while in route to get them. Kinda glad tho, I sold a 370Z and now have a clean Cardinal Red 2016 C300 Sport. It's no AMG but it's my daily and it had a warranty so I dont feel too bad about it. Love this C63 tho. Really looking forward to more videos.
Julian S I got a 2014 c250 red coupe for sale just looking for someone to take over payments, very nice car.
@@dynasty_c63amg59 - I'm sure you will be able to sell it easy! I dont really need another C Class though. Now I'm looking for a garage project I can learn and build up myself. I plan on returning to the 370Z for that but I didnt really like my model and figured I'd drop it while it still was under 80k miles. I appreciate the info tho. Where would the car be coming from?
Julian S it’s located in Reno Nevada
So Alex, I wood gess that the thrust arm u replaced was making the tire tow-in and wearing out...
I just bought same model and year with 70000 miles please keep these videos coming lol
If you happen to have an AutoZone around you they sell a great product to get the oil cleaned up from your driveway. It's called purple power driveway and concrete degreaser. The way I use it is I put it in a squirt bottle or you can just buy the one it's already in the squirt bottle spray all your spots down. Either later on in the day or the next day spray it again. Do that a couple times and wait until you get a good rain and it should get rid of most of it the first shot. Once your driveway is dry again any spots that you see spray again and normally the second time after a good rain normally gets everything up.
Alex, get a MAP gas torch and heat up those oil stains... they should burn off or lighten up for you.
The last time I came this early, my girlfriend broke up with me.
Hahaha
Same.
The last time i came early my dog likked the peanutbutter on my balls
oh, this joke again
Planning on getting into a financial mistake myself as well and would definitely like to see more on this money pit! Really tho definitely would like to see more especially those headers getting installed. Sub and bell 👍🏽
Thanks!!
The previous owner is the type of guy who could hardly buy a Mercedes and who is not willing to fix anything that breaks ..
So basically, the majority of European car owners? There's a reason the average ownership of these cars doesn't even get to 5 years.
@@SI0AX,
The previous owner obviously didn't treat the car well. Did you watch the video? The maintenance seemed half-hearted, the tires are mismatched and different brands - this treatment reeks of CHEAP and LAZY maintenance.
I've been driving European cars for years and have had no serious issues with them. My last car, a 2007 BMW, was driven for 11 years without any major issues.
@@cawimmer430 But that is exactly the reason it happens. You buy a car that has you chocked on the loan and when the car gets a problem, you don't have the money to repair it and then it gets worse and you're love for the car goes away and now you are left with regret. I'm sure that is the majority of owners, even the car manufacturers are embracing the 5 year leases and dropping prices to incentivize it.
@@SI0AX,
When you buy a car you should always budget for maintenance and repairs.
I've been driving German cars for years and never had catastrophic failures or reliability issues. These are well-made cars to begin with, but one also has to treat them and maintain them correctly.
Another problem is that cheapskates take their expensive European car to some [cheaper] independent mechanic shop who actually do more damage because they are unfamiliar with the technology and how to maintain or repair it. If you're driving the latest automobile, bring it to the dealership. It's costlier, but they generally know what they are doing. :-)
Honestly, I've always had good experiences with my German cars, even as they age. My old folks have a fully-loaded 2010 Mercedes E350 CGI W212, currently over 220,000 km, works like a charm and has no issues. My dad is very religious on maintenance AND having the right people (dealership-trained mechanics) do the oil changes etc.
@@cawimmer430 You're story is a pretty rare case from what I've heard. Do you live in Europe?
Knock knock, whose there, I got lucky it's only the power steering 😂
Are you related to Tyler from Hoovies garage? Good video !
Why would you only replace suspension arm on one side?
Sorry Alex but love all the problems with the C63, now we get to watch you fix them, all the more for us!
Alex these are the videos I want to see! It’s like a hoovie car but you can actually fix it yourself...lol
New Subscriber... but dam it man, you make Hoovies Hoopties look like pristine show room cars...LoL...
Try cheap builder's sand for the oil on the drive way. Let it sit for a while then brush over it with a stiff yard brush. Most of it should come out into the sand.
Alex, is it possible if you can make a walk-through video on how to use the MB WIS software? I purchased it on eonlinemanual but find it a little hard to navigate...thanks in advance!
I'll purchase the lip from you if you sign it.. $50 shipped to 06226 sound good? Lol
If only I could find a deal like that here!
Am waiting to see a nice MB OEM C63 😍😍😍
Alex Dude you are so lucky you got home from KY without any issue. I was surprised you made the drama motor jump before MB designs tight tolerances so that was so dangerous yes come to find out. Your laugh is the best
Alex, hide those driveway stains with a solvent based tinted concrete sealer. Looks good for long time no matter what.
I loved my 2010, but I didn't love repairing it all the time.
it will be the igniter. My g35 kept getting water in the igniter.. dried it out and bam it works
Change the reservoir too
I had the same issue few weeks back
You did say you wanted a broken c63, guess you got it in the end 😂
Did you do the install on these headers, interested in seeing your install and review? Not sure if you've installed them yet or not?
Also, how is the compressor clutch engaged when all the refrigerant leaked out? Usually the low or high pressure switch won’t allow the compressor to run to keep it it from burning up and that’s assuming most of the oil leaked out as well.
More videos of the c63 amg please
Video on how to change spark plugs please, my new favorite channel 🤗🤗
I can do that
LegitStreetCars thank you 🙏🏼
You’d be my hero if you figured out a nice manual swap or dct or just a modern torque converter swap
It has a CVT transmission?
The C63 power steering pump isn't too awfully bad to change. 35 to 45 minutes from draining the fluid to filling it back up after the new pump has been installed 👍
Why dont you try some Vibrant Performance mufflers
Can you do a update of the cheap Chinese headers and what you did about this annoying exhaust leak
A total steal!
Ahhhh Alex, refreshing to see someone with good taste on CZcams! You could start a new channel "Un-pimp My Ride".
Previous video “i dont know what else to do whit the car, it’s basically problems free” uhum lol
I bought 2007 BMW 335xi for cheap. Turned out to have some flaws that I need to take care of, like misfiring at start, hard start, it had oil housing gasket bad, thrust arms and control arms were bad, etc. I'm doing work myself, so I save a lot of money on labor. But my point is that when you are done with all of it, even if this gonna end up being as much as market value is, you have fully functional car. Now, if you buy used one, you gonna pay market value + all repairs that might need to be done! I would never think twice about buying cheap, decent looking car and fix it rather than paying market value.
longtube headers on a 6.3 is no joke.. cold start will startle you for sure lol
