Ciro collecting cars like Thanos collected infinity stones

I replaced cam gears, injectors, serpentine belt and pulleys, front lower control arms, power steering reservoir, intake cam shafts and lifters and rebuilt the rear suspension. I think that's all yes.. Good to go for a long time now. Did it cost some, yes. Was it worth it? Yes.

With new car prices being what they are, these videos are a lot more useful to us consumers. Good on you guys for realising this. Also, please do a video on the E46 and E92 M3's, as well as the B7 RS4.

In 2008 I had a Mercedes Benz SLK 32 AMG, I got quoted R11 000.00 for a supercharger bearing, got one manufactured by a bearing company in Boksburg for R350.00... Nice to see that Mercedes Benz SA hasn`t deviated from their business model after all of these years...

😂in love with this series man, used car gang

Please do more of these type of videos, entry level performance cars would be great

I have a 2007 C209 CLK63 AMG with the M156 engine. I bought the car with 185000km on it with a full service history mixed between agents and independent mechanics. Thus far the engine has been bulletproof with no oil leaks or the like. I did however have an issue of the "Top up coolant" warning light frequently coming up which necessitated a coolant top up of around 1l every 500km however this turned out to be a leak in the cooling system and not from worn head bolts. My mechanic, a now independent ex Mercedes-Benz technician, confirms your 2% stat as he says he did all of 2-3 cars in his life spanning well over 15 years. Oil usage is as per your stated amount around 800ml to 1l every 1000km and is normal for this engine. Thus far my cam shafts are all fine and the engine is very smooth with no audible ticking noises from the lifters. A vibration at idle can also be caused by worn out engine and gearbox mounts which are common on these engines and drivetrains because of the immense torque this engine pushes out so its noteworthy to consider those as potential culprits for any vibrations. Typically they should be replaced every 60-80000km. A common issue on the interior of the W204 C-Class is the MBUX centre controller, the knob/wheel that controls the infotainment system. Often they will stop sensing turns which requires a replacement part that's easily obtainable online and can be done DIY. Overall extremely well built cars with an engine to match provided you do proper maintenance as well as preventative maintenance regularly. Good to consider using Liqui Moly lifter additive every oil change to keep the lifter oil chambers free of dirt helping to extend the life of the lifters and camshafts.

The reason we started loving the c63 amg.

These are the types of practical videos we never knew we needed.

I am a mechanic at one of mercedes benz dealerships. This is the most reliable I have ever work on❤❤

Been patiently waiting for this guide especially for this lovely loved CAR. Thanks Ciro and continue enjoying your Fleet❤

Plenty of torque at any revs... It truly is one hell of a car. This and the W212 E63 are brilliant mechines.

This has to be the best ownership review I've seen in a while. It's also a great guide to shop for these.

You must been watching my searches as I have been looking for W204 C63 AMG!

these typeS of vids ARE GENIUS , NEED MORE🔥🔥🔥

👏🏾never seen such a comprehensive review on these models much appreciated to us who aspire to get one in near future.

I really like this 'what could go wrong' series

definitely love this new addition or segment where you get the pros and cons when buying cars

Yooo you guys are pumping videos out like muffins. i like that i no longet have to wait for a week to get great motoring content anymore.

Good job in these throwbacks, better than new car reviews🎉

Awesome car! Great feature this too, keep it going. There was an advert of the C63, started with eery music then a shot of the car and the sound!! Loved it

I had one from 2015-2017 (and then I bought a house 😂) and I loved it! One thing not mentioned but that is noteworthy is the positioning of the high pressure power steering hose which sits between the block and the firewall. With the torque movement of this powerhouse, there is a tendency for the pipe to wear and eventually fail and rupture. This happened on mine and the power steering fluid (which the owners manual indicates as non-flammable) landed on a hot catalytic converter just below and caught alight. Thankfully no fire damage but it did end with a R27k bill from Mercedes (beginning of 2017) including a new power steering pump. This was a recall item overseas and not in South Africa. The hoses were redirected to avoid recurrence. Definitely something worth checking on.

These videos are great! 👍

This is an extremely important video. Thank you

Thank you. This was truly helpful

This segment is really useful 👌

The best car I ever owned the sound the power output just superb!

Love this content! Well done :)

Wowo very informative..i really needed this info😊

The ex murderer with headlights😂😂

Love your video ❤

Awesome vid

The 507 is my ultimate dream car... Came out whilst I was still in varsity. Hoping I can find one with low mileage when I am ready in a year or two

Dude, you should make this a series! Do reviews on buying cards, getting the facts like you did here, talking to long term owners of some of the most popular cars in the country Buying/Owning guides like this are sorely lacking in SA, you may corner the market! Great work!

Thanks for the video

u read our minds...thank u for the video...Very memorable car

Very great and practical sports car. Congratulations on your purchase.

An overlooked option in searching for a C63 is a CLK 63, yes its slightly older but has the same engine(its even a little more powerful in the CLK version) and braking system, I stand to be corrected on the transmission but i think it also shares the same transmission as the C63. All in all the C63 is the most desired mid range AMG but the CLK is a great and good looking alternative.

the lexus isf is the king when it comes to reliable performance car

So nice to saw this video because this is my next car.

I think more vids like this would be awesome

Now we need to see the whole collection

I love your car collection

Awesome, informative video. THANKS

Possibly the best engineer ever built!

Queremos are you ? In The latest vídeos I haven’t see you and to be honest … is a HUGE difference

Like you have read my mind Ciro. I am a big Beemer fan and petrol head but this is the only Merc i want to park in my garage alongside BMW. I have always wondered what are the worrying issues. Thanks for adding and confirming what i had already knew. I love W204 C63 since it came out so i will hunt good used one

Love the content and these buyers guides on cars. May you please do the Volvo V40 range. I am thinking of buying one but not much information out here or trustworthy information. Thanks

I wouldn’t think she has done 65km but the interior is evidence, what a Gem indeed

Thank you

Jeez Ciro cant you do a series like this on common faults on vehicles? Very interesting every brand and model has its Achilles heal no matter what.

Informative video. Nice if you could be able to do one on a C55 AMG.

The bmw at the background was done on purpose😂😂😂... great video by the way

Great video as always... Thank you. Please do a video on a 2014 to 2016 Audi RS5 4.2L V8.

TIMELESS design. BEAST of an engine!

Love these videos keep it up!!! Please to BMW E90/92 , FORD FIESTA ST , AUDI A4 1.8T , GOLF 6 GTI

This is the best sounding c class Mercedes ever created.

Last week it was the Discovery 4, and this week this. Are you analysing my thoughts? 💭 🤔

Owned mine (facelift) from new in 2013, 11 years and the only thing that has gone wrong was the condenser & thermostat (both replaced under warranty at the time). Good preventative maintenance keeps them as they should be, most second hand cars these days have been bought when people couldn’t afford to maintain them and there are loads of rough examples out there unfortunately. Good research and knowing what to look out for should find you a good one. Lumpy idle on these could also be nothing, intake manifold gaskets & pinched lines can also cause this on these cars. The biggest issue on these apart from the prefacelift headbolts are sticking injectors which can cause the engine to hydrolock (surprised you didn’t mention this) milage doesn’t matter for this issue, I would just replace them every 5-8 years as they are cheap for oem bosch without the amg logo from Mercedes. Now they are getting older more issues with lower front arms (mercedes only part) are expensive. Other cars have had sunroof/boot seals gone and leaking water into the car, upper engine pan seal seeping which is an engine out job to do a reseal, condenser and some oil coolers leaking with age now too. Other than that and the cam/lobe issues on higher milage cars they are pretty bulletproof tbh.

I have a 507edition and I love it...🎉🎉🎉

I own a B7 RS4, but have always liked the sound of these, would you mind taking me for a drive in your C63 some time Ciro?

I want one of them, most beautiful C63 ever built. My opinion.

I love these 6.2 litre Mercs

Please do a video like this on the B7 RS4 and e90 M3 so we can compare the cost of maintenance

"..the last of the v eights..." A famous quote from a famous movie

You should do a video on the m3 as well

My dream car

I see the Flex there Ciro.

My dad bought one brand new in 2010 what a car .

I use your website everyday 😂 why am I not subscribed to your channel 😭 Subscribed 👍

Im watching this one and taking notes for when i get my one...😂 and i still have not driven one can you believe it...

I would like to see a similar video for the F10 BMW M5, thats one car i would risk financial ruin for

Videos on are great, soon to replace ReDriven at this rate!

great job u guys r doin, what r your thoughts on this car reaching well over 100k in 10 years?

Definitely would love to see the bmw E90 be featured on this segment

My favourite car the edition 507

Can you do similar video for Ford Ranger please 🙏

Reminds me of time when I was a student and such cars went for far less than a million. I always thought I’d be owning a c63 or rs3 by now 😂 but then inflation got car prices up by almost 150% now 😂😂

Bro, please make a similar video for the BMW M3 E92

Please do a guide video on the BMW 335I e90 coupe.

Ciro taking advance of that company car allowance😂

you miss the most common w204 problem and thats steering lock failure (EZS), this affects all of them. I can tell you that the timing chain will not last the life of the engine. Been a specialist on mercs for 10 years now and i can say the only merc engines that dont have timing chain issues are om 112/113 and om 275

Please do a video like this for the Nissan 370Z

Possibility to review the E92 M3?

I just do not understand how expensive cars have so many issues in comparison with relatively cheap cars

Please do one for the F10 M5🤲🏿Assomblief

A 2013 would slap right now 😭🔥. But the pricing is ridiculous.

The way it lights up its tires, did you fit a limited slip diff? These didn't have LSD

Nice Spec

Can you please do BMW E90.... 👏

Over and above the Camshafts are the Cam adjusters. Noisy 2-4 second rattle/clatter at cold start from the front of the engine. This is also an expensive job. Another thing is the PCV valve at the back of the engine, not expensive I think but a faf to get to.

Beautiful Machine But Very High Maintenance ❤🎉

First gen Alfa Romeo Giulia video next?

Good informative video. However no need for the intrusive music. I'm here for info. If i want music I'll go looking for it

I changed my rear pads, mercedes part R7365 with wear sensor R7495. Used abit of oil about 2L a month, free top up from mercedes. Should've never ever sold the car 😢, never had to do any other repairs owned from 60 000kms - 92 000kms. Wonder where it is now

Can you do a video on the F10 M5

Anything wrong with the facelift models?

1 for sale on autotrader exactly like that one a Jdm

Awesome car but also a very expensive money pit if not cared for correctly.

This remains one of my dream cars, if & when I get this, the next on my list will be the c55 , then I’ll probably have to sell a kidney and half my liver to go for the SLS AMG
