I just bought a 68,000 mile 2009 C63 AMG for crazy cheap because the previous owner listed the car as having major engine issues that could cost many thousands of dollars to fix. Mercedes and AMG had many issues with this M156 engine when it first came out so it wasn't crazy for the previous owner to assume it needed work but I was able to fix this one in 30 minutes and with $150 in parts.
Here's a video on all the major M156 factory defects.

ElectronicInfern frankly I don’t think they can give a hoot’s ass to be honest because most MB owners either have too many cars in there garage or can’t afford the maintenance. This is from years of buying used Benz’s in general. Best bet is always find a owner that has too many cars in there garage.

Not really. If you buy a car you should always inform yourself about it's issues. And always, ALWAYS, check for service history via the VIN of the car. If you know the problems of a car, and the manufacturer tells you that the issues are already sorted, you are on the safe side.

Yeah sometimes you just think "Are the designers not supposed to be professionals" Had a similar thing happen on my dad's car (I was the one that noticed it...One spring day he came to visit, had driven about a mil and a half and when he arrived the radiator fan was on, full speed, which i found odd as the engine should hardly be at running temperature on such a short trip on a not very warm day). This was also some plastic stud that had broken off of the coolant pump....The replacement pump from the manufacturer had a metal stud instead. It just baffles me that a manufacturer with over 50 years experience in building cars, had thought that a plastic stud was a good thing to begin with....Luckily they had wised up and replaced the plastic stud with a metal one on the replacement.

put the stock exhaust back on it and install some electronic (or vacuum) exhaust cut-outs in between the center resonator and rear muffler. It will make the car sound a little louder when you want it and quite when you don't. Installing the cutout just before the rear muffler will give a much better sound than obnoxiousness you have right now because the center resonator does help a lot.

@@bentleymccray1599 2013/14 W204s with the M276 engine and 4Matic are very popular. My wife & I found ours at CarMax... good deal for a well-maintained example. It had 59k miles on it. For another $2k, we could have had a similar car in black on black with 28k miles, but it felt as if it had been "rode hard and put away wet". Ours now has almost 75k miles on it and it still looks and drives as new. Only problem has been from a car wash and getting used to the low front bumper scraping a bit. So, I refinished it and used stuff to ward away chips and will never, ever again take it to any car wash where it pulls the car thru it. Plus, I am now a LOT more careful with curbs and concrete stops in parking lots. Have to fix the rear bumper behind the rear wheel as a stone flipped up and gouged the bumper cover on the side a bit. I run with Conti DWS06 tires and stock 17" wheels. Still using original shocks and springs and it handles very, very well... a sleeper handler. I get around 21mpg in town and 28-33mpg on the road. The Econ button for stopping the engine and instantly restarting it at a light is erratic. I've heard others (and with other mfgrs as well) have a similar issue.

One thing to note on the updated bolts. I have an E63 in the shop right now that's already had them replaced. But whoever did it... not such a good job. They coated the threads of the new bolts in plumber's Teflon thread sealant, and maybe skipped one of the 90 degree turns. The bolts didn't fail exactly, but there was a compression leak into the cooling system because the last guy working on it, shouldn't have been working on it. Between that and leaking injectors, this one was hydrolocked. Amazingly didn't actually hurt the engine though! These things are TOUGH! It's running great now.

Nice pickup Alex! I just missed an opportunity here in Vancouver for a 2009 C63 with performance pack with 50k miles for $10,000 cad ($7.5k usd). Only hitch was that it was loosing coolant (likely cracked head bolts) Owner drove 200km with the leak and kept adding coolant. Definitely a risk as the head could have damage but it sold in a day.

I´m interested what you think of porting the cylinder heads on the M156 since I have heard (I know, I know..) that there is a lot of power to be had there. Talk is of 30 hp on a non tuned engine and up to 50 on a tuned one. I´d like to keep mine n/a as well and am looking for all the power that this engine can reliably give. Anyway, looking forward to this series!

Probably he was beating on it, and that is why the engine mounts are so badly ripped, and engine jumps. He also had his own mind set on how he beat the car, and how many things will start failing because of this, on top of the loosing coolant and smoke. Damn man, this is the sweetest deal ever, I have heard and seen cases where people buy things that sellers are afraid, or think are broken/bad, and then it turnes out a minor fix here and there will have the car good. This engine sounded so good, I mean the engine in the front, not the exhaust, where I could hear on neutral there was no ticking noise, rod knocks, nothing, just your typical, quiet running engine noise. Sound perfect. The wreck, even better, depreciates the car due to title, and this was nothing I saw on the picture.

So far your biggest problem is only the engine mount. You got a great deal!!!👍🏾

"Depreciation"? These cars do not depreciate here in Germany. They went down to like 30.000€ (34.000$) for a bad one with 200k kilometers (wich is ONE HELL OF A LOT here in Germany). And now the prices are going through the roof. If you want a good one you need to spend around 35.000 for a limousine or up to 55.000€ (62.000$) for a good Coupe. These things are great investments.

I have ever since been waiting for you to buy a W204 C63 AMG, a must for a MB 'collection' for a Mercedes-Benz mechanic. Yes, please do remove unnecessary body mods like the green callipers, extremely loud tailpipes, the stickers and gold wrap to get it back to stock appearance. Your neighbours will appreciate that. Can't remember if the stock C63 had that much chrome trim in the front, because something seems odd to me here. Could do a matte-black plastidip on the chrome trim (and maybe spoiler) to make it look more aggressive.

Well done on the new machine ! Wishing you safe driving, and looking forward to seeing the video series on this one. I LOVE it ! PS : I'd be terrified taking this one on. But you can work your Alex magic !

that cold start smoke is most likely from the valve guides, not a big deal, but can ruin the cats and O2 sensor over time

Now you know why the thermostat's plastic bit broke off. With that much engine movement it's a miracle that it was the only thing that started leaking.

That was a great deal you got on the C63. My first AMG was a new 2009 with the performance package. I have a question about what you said at 8:25 in the video. What are the readiness monitors for the emissions? I've always wondered if you can tell if the codes had been recently cleared out.

So the ecu runs tests on each emission control system. If they pass they are set as complete. These tests take 100-200 miles to complete sometimes. When someone clears codes they reset all readiness monitors so if he just cleared them I would have known with my scanner

I got it now. Thank you very much for explaining that. I've always wondered if there was a way to tell if the codes had simply been cleared to cover up an underlying issue.

4:32 - the smoke after cold start is blue.This means it burns a little engine oil after long time sitting.Because on 6:18 you said the smoke is white which would indicate it's burning coolant

Petar stay away from 2009 c63. Get 2012 and up they are way more reliable
