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 had to replace my intake plenum gasket and my front valve cover gasket on my 06 v6 accord because of a grommet leak and the back bank was so clean and shiny i was shocked, its a 160k mile car from michigan that lives in florida now

    Hi there new to your channel.
    Just curious, you brought up that you’ll 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 ? I’m 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!

    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

    The previous owner’s pain watching this knowing now the car is good, not to mention when he said “de-rice”……🥲⚰️😂

    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?

    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.

    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 🙂 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 ?

    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 !!!

    Hey man, idk of you’ll 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!
