@@DKarGarage The head bolt issue was for pre facelift cars only, this is a facelift. I haven’t encountered any electronic issues with my car from memory. Perhaps the drive selector mode can stop working, but that fixes itself after a few hours and has happened to a number of fellow owners.

@NathanMannin I'm talking bout headlights issues and rear lights issues , they fog up and burn up all electronics with it , it's 2.5k usd per corner for the front to fix

@@DKarGarage Ah I apologise, I must’ve misread that! I’ve never encountered light issues, I’ve seen it fog a little in my headlights, but only during winter time and it clears itself.

@@user-fn9nk3wv6c This car has made the Nissan Micra redundant 😉

@@chrispy104k It’s great to hear from a viewer all the way over in Australia! Thank you for watching 😁

@@chrispy104k Thank you! It is the performance package!

@@NathanMannin Nice mate. Not necessarily a fan of the coupe but yours is sweet.

@@yazzan.i Thank you very much for the guide, I’ll have to sit down and look at that at some point!

@@yazzan.i Great to know you’ve got the spare wheels if need be! Are they AMG wheels like mine?

@@marcoperez4555 Thank you! : )

@@boyracer3477 Thank you so much for watching, I’m glad this video has been some use to you! That’s going to be quite a contrast in driving experience, what makes you want to jump from a Boxster S to a Turbo? 😄 I can assure you won’t feel shortchanged in terms of performance in the Turbo!

@@NathanMannin Who said anything about jumping and abandoning my sweet Boxster? I'll be buried in her. It's just that my 1999 Jimmy is dying slowly (well, the diff is) and I need a plan to replace it as my daily. Kind of like the problem we have with Biden right now. Thanks again for the well researched video. Keep it up !

@@sokodaman I like that feature strangely enough!

@@DarrenOHaraCork Thank you so much, I’m glad my content has been some use to you!

@@Achannel_o Thank you very much! It was done at 65mph cruise control over a long stint. So perhaps you could do something similar, then see what you get! I have found normally 2.0 petrol engines in my experience at least, aren’t the greatest in fuel, but that’s mainly BMW’s 2.0 4 cylinder petrol engines.

@@NathanMannin highest I’ve got out of it is 41.5mpg, but I’ve never taken it on a long motorway run idk what the 2.0L BMW engines are like from the same era but lthis VAG engine makes most of its torque pretty low down in the rev range and the DSG is 7 speed so it’s able to cruise at pretty low rpm. In top gear at 50mph it sits as less then 1,300rpm, it’s a really weird engine behaves like a diesel but can rev pretty high.

I’m not too sure, it might be worth checking some forums.

I’m not too familiar with that model unfortunately!

Are the seats identical to my ones? : )

That’s quite some car for an 18 year old! They’re amazing cars and a good size for an 18 year old, running costs aren’t bad either! Just be careful, as they’re very powerful and can be sketchy/twitchy at times!

@@NathanMannin Really? Hahah I appreciate it, I have made a game on Roblox so i got decent income but I think this car would suit me especially for the price but I just wanted to ask you but thanks for the reply have a good day man!

Privet! 😁

@@NathanMannin good morning from Russia

That’s a much easier and proper way of doing it, I’ll do that next time thank you! How did you even find that method out? 😆

@@NathanMannin I work in ICE emissions and EV Range testing 😂 so it’s quite a common thing we work with haha. May need to write it down but easier than having to guess numbers online

Ich denk nicht nein 😉

I couldn’t agree more! The car is effectively sipping fuel and not having to work hard at all! It is so interesting to see what these cars which are normally deemed to be money pits on fuel, can actually be surprisingly frugal when you really try! I’ve been to Scotland a few times, especially the North West and some of the islands, and it’s absolutely breathtaking like you said!

Thank you!

I do agree, I’ve had various 120d’s and a 420d which is more than punchy enough. It’s just if you have a family of 4, a dog and maybe lots of luggage, then perhaps the car may struggle a little in performance in comparison to a 330d, which has buckets of torque!

Which ones just out of interest?

With the amount of AMG Line cars which are littered with AMG badges, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had an AMG spare wheel too.

Why would parts for this become discontinued? Absolute legend of a car

lol you can't be serious... ever heard of fpc euro? not to mention literally hundreds of aftermarket manufacturer a 10yo benz is practically new

@@mattdann171 he worked for mercedes and yes they do discontinue parts but after market is alive and kicking you'll never have issues with parts

I mean I’ve bought numerous cars over 10 years old such as this car, a 955 Cayenne, a Volvo S80 V8, and the parts haven’t been that expensive when sourced from particular places.

@@mac2k2020 +1 for FCPEuro.

I’ll have to check that out! Thank you!

@@NathanMannin You can also turn DRL's off as well

Mine wasn’t too bad with town driving, low 20’s I think!

@@NathanMannin Mine Does about 18L/100km so thats like 13mpg i think

@@theorangebanana11 That’s awful 😆 Maybe I’m just a super efficient driver 😆 I managed to get nearly 30mpg on a long run!

Where are you from?

Thank you very much! It is a bit of chore driving at 65mph, with tedious Sunday drivers in the middle lane doing 60mph, that’s probably how I managed my 30+mpg 😆 27.6 is still very respectable, and I imagine you weren’t as conservative as I was, I didn’t even have the aircon on 😆

Because it moves up and down? 😆

@@NathanMannin no it looks like his helmet! 😂

@@Nat-O I’ll have to have another look 😆

I am so glad you share the same sentiment towards the C63 as I do, I feel the very same and have no idea what could replace it at it’s price point. I do love the W205’s beefy looks and dirty soundtrack, but it doesn’t encapsulate the soul and the feeling of it being an event, like a W204 C63 does! 😁

@@NathanMannin exactly how I feel! I prefer the retro look and feel of the interiors on pre facelifts and face-lifted W204’s along with the old school hydraulic steering feel and that mega 6.2 grumble! The torque from the N/A really surprised me at first, and I really can’t see myself selling this car years down the line. I honestly think Mercedes nailed it with W204 and they will struggle to build a car to match its greatness! Spoke to many W205 owners at shows and most of them are looking at retuning back to the N/A old school C63’s. Just feel like the W205s look a bit tacky on the interior and not very ‘built to last’ with the shiney plastically look along with the random iPad looking screen as an after thought. Anyways great channel and content I’ve watched them all 👍👍👍

Cheers Aaron! It’s fantastic that earlier cars had that feature which was passed down in the generations!

I believe you’ll get one, just owning one even if it’s for a short period is so worth it! It’s funny mention that, I have a video coming this Sunday of the full running costs of my C63 for the past 4 years : )

@@NathanMannin Looking forward to seeing that!

@@NathanManninIs the video for the 4-year running costs coming out soon? Just come across this comment, however can’t see if you’ve posted it yet.

@@Zeesh Hello, thank you for watching! It’s still in the edit at the moment, I hope to get it out in the next few weeks!

Absolutely!

Honestly as a Mercedes owner the running cost isnt that bad i mean it could be better but comparatively to companys like bmw its not that bad you dont have problems everyday. Main problem ive seen is people having the habit of driving it like a sports Mercedes but not pampering it like a Mercedes should be. That an with a N/A v8 you an your local gas station clerk will be on a first name basis

Headbolts, cam phasers, intake manifold, cams, lifters. The bottom end is solid, heads are trash.

I suppose it’s down to personal opinion, I think the coupe seats look good and how you can adjust the headrest. It’s just the fact they look too similar to the regular coupe seats which is a bit unfortunate. I do still love them though, and they’re extremely comfortable long distance too!

I love that generation of E class, is that with the 5.5 BiTurbo V8? They’ve got savage power and torque they do, and sound fantastic too! Palladium silver is an excellent colour, one which really changes when the sun hits the paintwork. That’s amazing fuel consumption from a V8 in big saloon! I’ve been to Devon countless of times, where abouts did you go!? Thank you very much for watching! I actually made a very special video a few weeks back, which may be worth a watch. The video is “Can I drive my C63 from London to Edinburgh on one tank of fuel” I managed to get 32mpg with very careful driving 🤣

@@NathanMannin yes the 5.5 BiTurbo. Needed something a bit bigger than the C class due to kids. I’ll check out your trip to Scotland. Just in Tavistock at the moment but will be all over the next few days. Enjoy your beast

@@richardgranados-rueda7077 Well that’s an excellent choice of car rather than opting for an SUV like most parents do! Next to Dartmoor national park, but not too far from the sea! 😁 I’ve spent a lot of time in the Torbay area, and the south coast of there which is stunning. Cheers!

Thank you! It’s interesting to know they didn’t move the pen holder for right hand drive cars! It’s always fascinating when you find a new feature in the car! 😁 Perhaps try holding the button for longer? I do recall seeing on a forum somewhere it might’ve only been on European cars only, but don’t quote me on that, so if your car isn’t European, then maybe that’s why? I also had that intermittent issue a couple of times where the drive mode selector stops working, I had to leave it a few hours like yourself, and then it started working again. I know a few other C63 owners who’ve had the same problem, it’s just a weird glitch which fixes itself after being off for a while.

@@NathanMannin Cool yeah as soon as that happened with the driver selector I jumped onto the c63 forums and found out other people experienced that too. I guess is just some weird glitch. LOL I already looked up the part number for that part, but after a few hours it worked. :)
