I bought my C63 AMG for cheap because the seller thought the engine was bad. Today we find out by taking it apart and by performing an electronic compression test. I’ll also give you a pre-purchase inspection tip that could save you thousands of dollars and a lot of headaches by avoiding a basket case car. Kind of like my C63.

I love this channel
I found a deal 2009 c63 amg 155k miles 1-3 is misfiring what could be the problem his asking 8k since it has that problem
Hey man by any chance would I be able to give you a call I have a question on my c63 I own a shop here in Elgin !
Hi there new to your channel.
Just curious, you brought up that youโll get a more refined Mercedes diagnosis compression test system. Did you ever upgraded from the multiplexer ? And second, which other similar equipment via obd that able to be use for compression test for the w204 chassis ? Iโm looking to get mine tested.
Just picked up a C63! Thanks for the video. I also picked up an Autel MS906BT that will let you run the compression test… So not the cost of the STAR system but still $1200. Besides the things in the video, anything else I should look for?
Thanks!
How do you get the hood on you 2009 c63 amg in service mood.
but Your car is only 63,000 miles … let's be honest … You probably did not expect to see worn camshafts with such a low car mileage. You had to buy a car with a mileage of 160,000 miles.
I have the same c63 that is continuing to misfire. Catalytic converter was clogged so dealership replaced that along with intake manifold. Removed the secondary cat and installed long tube headers at a shop and also applied a tune. The shop test drove it and it still had a misfire. They took off the tune to test it that way and still misfired. What are your suggestions on what our next step should be.
Learning all I can about M156 – I had to laugh when you said see if the dealer will let you inspect the camshafts. Most dealers in this country will barely let you open the bonnet! :p
Sorry I didnโt understand, the tool at minute 14:42 is useful to pull out head bolts without putting out the camshafts ?
The previous ownerโs pain watching this knowing now the car is good, not to mention when he said โde-riceโ……๐ฅฒโฐ๏ธ๐
autoauctions.io is not a database like Carfax. It is a fraud. I ran several vin's and discovered this website doesn't have any useful records.
autoauctions.io is a scam
Totaled the C55 as there was a truck axle on the road…dark dark country road…..rip black 06 c55… im looking at this exact model…..hows it holding up

talk about rabit, just get on with it
I know I'm late as hell, but I just bought one of these. 2 owners, the first had it for less than a year. 45k miles and no accidents, garage kept. I want as many tips as possible as to how I can make this last over 100k. May i have some tips?
You no Joke saved me, went to autotrader.io or something and signed up. Almost bought a terrible used 2008 S63 AMG that had been in a wreck. Thanks again ๐
The 6.3 M156 engine is a total shit show. The head bolts fail just like the Northstar. The camshafts grind itself to shit because of hardening differences vs the tappets. The fuel injectors fucking leak. Any single one of those things happen and you just totalled your car BEYOND ECONOMICAL REPAIR. Do yourself a favor and just get an Small block V8 (which actually makes more power per pound of engine weight and gets significantly better mileage). Or, if really want German stuff get the earlier blown 5.5 M113 engine.
Send me one of yours AMG i will give you my adress๐
I came across this channel and Alex by watching Rich Rebuilds and OJ. Great videos Alex and OJ seem like really nice knowledgeable guys and I enjoy the no BS technical content. Cheers from Richard in England.
Its 1995 lap top not 1975, lol ๐ still in australia the insurance companies will not tell you if a car was damaged before you buy it, full stop the only place where you can buy damaged cars are those which you can clearly see the damage and then its about wholesale cost, meaning that anyone who wanted to fix the car back up would have to fix it themselves and not pay a panel repair place to fix it, as it will cost you just as much to buy a damaged car and fix it compared to a undamaged car and also theres no law at all, that you have to tell anyone that the car your selling was ever damaged and repaired? The insurance companies are the only ones which know this information and in fact some states will not sell a statutory right off meaning the car cant be fixed and must be used for parts only and even then if you added all the parts you can buy off it is the same amount they put on the car to buy, this is a total rip off IMO ?
Head bolts for sure, before I watch the whole video.
Not gonna lie. I love American Pushrod big displacement V8s but damn that german 6.2 sounds like sex.
Do you know the nm for the valve cover gasket bolts? Im redoing the valve cover gasket but donโt know the torque specifications . Help please !
I was just saying in one of Doug Demuro's videos it would be nice if he spoke on the cars cons as you do.
Hey what rolling work table is that you use? I need to get one of those. You should ad it to your Amazon garage.
Really wanting to buy a w212 2010 E63 AMG now
Hey would you happen to know which solenoid on the conductor plate is the pressure control one for the 7 speed transmission
I have that same multiplexer but it only reads cars up until 2012…Literally i have the same IBM Thinkpad for it, what the fuck, literally bought a new multiplexer to read cars until 2017 (merc cars that are under warranty are locked at least here in EU)
I am triggered at this point !!!
How did you open the hood almost 90 degrees….
Salesman voice
Finally a mechanic who use a power tool to remove bolts…
Hey man, idk of youโll see this but my 2012 C63 recently has a low tick at low rpm (1000-3500) and then goes away after accelerating, I put long tube headers and a stage 2 93 octane tune on it about 3 months ago and i noticed it after that. Could it be plugs? Bad gas? I also contacted the dealer and ran my vin to see if I need the camshaft and lifters repacked but I was not on the list. Your input would be greatly appreciated!
