As someone who is about to pull the trigger on one of these, this video was super helpful! Appreciate you going into detail about the additives you use and the ownership costs overall. I'll definitely be checking out the rest of the channel. Cheers!
You ever get one? I’m picking one up tomorrow!
@@brandonblumer5628 I did actually! I've had it about a month and could not be happier. I spent several months looking around and waiting for the right one to come across but it was well worth the wait. I got a 2012 4 door (white over red), w/ LSD and no performance pkg. Are you enjoying yours so far?
@@spencercomeaux91 I actually didn’t pick up the car, went and looked at it for the first time in person and it had tell signs of a failing head gasket. car had original head bolts that were never replaced aswell so I passed on that car unfortunately
@@spencercomeaux91 I’m curious, do all the facelift c63’s have an lsd? I’m still curious about it because I have people say they have open digs and some say they come with an lsd.
Picking up a 2013 c63 with p31 package with 48k miles,m this Friday. Excited! To say the least.
How’s the car treating you?
How much
@@M12_TDE $36,400 before taxes.
Good info here!
Never knew about the plastic valve covers with the facelift! Thanks for pointing that out!
Great Video Max, keep up the content
Great video brotha , and as well for the miles and year you have kept that car looking really good dam near looks like it barely rolled out the showroom floor ! 🤙🏼
Hi I own a 2021 c62 amg sedan and it has 140000 kms and always use liquid moly products and does not make any noises .Awesome video thanks
E
respect bro !! nice video love it
Great video, never thought about it but cool to see how much you've spent.
Your tire prices are way off though, you forgot about the set you ordered in the wrong size and had to burn off
Thank you how could I ever forget the Achilles! 265s wider than 275s
great video bro
Hey Bud. Been catching up on ur vids. Good job. Question. Have a 2010 E350 & have the dreaded engine light. It's a P 0456 code. How do you take the hose off the connector? Other cars have a simple wire that snaps. Mercedes have some crazy lock mechanism
Good video, thank you.
What’s up bro ! I have a 2010 with 147k miles it’s treated me good for all the 50k miles I put on it !
Great video salute from panamá
Fcp euro, what do they give you warranty on? What do you send back?
The coin isn't bad for high miles. I'm getting a coupe and would not if I couldn't do the work myself I'm a bike head but have always loved these and need a new car. . Great vid mate
nice video man, how many miles does she have now?
I have a 2012 cls550 m278 engine same thing happen to me once i was low on oil I heard a ticking noise once i add a quart it went away(only ticks on cold start)
High mileage award? I got 450k on my 2008 c350, wheres my badge mercedes. But man, you can't add all those additives together, liqui moly specifically says to only use one at a time.
Just subbed! Thanks Max! Just curious, are those 507 rims reps or oem?
Thank you! They are reps that I picked up off a friend for pretty cheap
That cam adjuster noise is a problem, sure the additives might be making it quieter but you can change these out for a fair price (mine was done under mechanical warranty but it was 2 grand for both), I think it's a worth while investment, metal on metal ware is never good, plus the mechanic took pictures of the cam and lobes which was good piece of mind.
Since mine are new I will defiantly look to adding the additive to prevent ware, thanks for the video
Exactly right.
haha sounds like my experience with my AMG
Always keep track of my expenses but never added them up to see the astronomical price..
now i know why you never see one on the road its a gas Gizzler its beautiful its fast but is it worth it?
i found a 2009 c63 155k miles guy said its misfiring 1-3 cylinder needs battery an camshaft sensor his asking 8k for it also previous owner did a facelift front end. an its wrapped in black custom wheels as well.
How is it going now? Still recommend it to someone considering buying one now?
Love your thumbnail photo. 😂
Quite the backdrop! 😂
Think I also saw you at that exact spot last week and waved, was in my CLK55 picking up a battery
How does FCP Euro make money if everyone uses that warranty ive heard about many ties
Damn that engine sounds smooth on start up for the milage. My m156 has a slight rattle on start up. Seems to be somewhat normal for these engines from what I've read
mine had 100000km and it rattled due to metal in the engine. i checked the cam adjusters which was what was recommended online and that wasnt the problem.
@@hdoublea8447 the rattling in mine was one of the cam adjusters. It completely blew and had to get towed. Thankfully that's all that was damaged and replaced both adjusters in that side of engine and no more rattle
Damn, my diesel C320 (it has 300K km today) costs just about 40% less to run for 2 years here in eastern Europe. I change oil and filters every 10K km. Btw, you mentioned yoiu can get 8 injectors for 300 bucks, while one diesel injector costs around 350 :D. And I had to change all the 6 of them 1.5 years ago.
Pretty spot on. If you do these steps, you car should last a long time.
i drain the oil cooler everytime.... you have to be careful as you can crack the cooler. Very easy to drain if you know what your doing,
Same. Torque to spec and all good.
2011 e63 143k changed oil first time and drained the cooler, found drain plug was a little sketchy and little pieces came off
Off the washer I think which I’ll change next time then leave it
Switch to all amsoil oil and products bro...just a suggestion....
That's a lot of money on additives. Just change your oil every 8000 KM. You are fine.
hi how many bottles of hydraulic lifter additive did you put in?
Roughly 1 and a half bottles
Do you take it to gtp Motorsport lol?
My man
You ship used oil back to fcp euro to get a refund? That's bizarre.
im looking to buy an 08 E63 180,000 miles 8k any advice she fully loaded pano roof and etc
Did you get it? I’m looking for one with the same exact mileage
@@bvcbusiness No , I bought a 05 E55 with 83k miles instead. If u need any help still let me know bro
@@uzzle21 nice to know, can I get your ig so I can dm you
dude the ceritec only works if you keep in for at least 10k miles, it won’t do it’s thing if you drain it at 3k, also 150k is not high miles my boy, your trippen. other than that great video and dynamic speaker
For these motors its actaully decently high these engines can become pieces of shit at 70k miles
my 2015 507 has 17k miles on it now should i get transmission fluid service done?
If u got the money u shouldn’t be asking that
@@Jboof i got a retarded answer from you
Ceratec? You sure...it says not suitable for wet clutch.
That is only if added to the transmission fluid and I only apply it to engine oil, but that is correct.
Hellll yeahhh
But no money left for mods now 😢
@@maxmerc me neither LMAO 😭😭
