C63 AMG - The true cost of ownership..
So here is the video that everyone has been asking for.. How much does it cost to run a W204 Mercedes C63 AMG as a weekend toy? Well.. for me.. it worked out at around 1.62 per mile in 2021. This cost would probably decrease with the more miles that you did, as the servicing would be offset the further that you drove the car, I don't think the fuel would have that much of an effect. Is it what you expected?

I screwed up changing my power steering fluid - Mercedes C63 AMG
Просмотров 10 тыс.2 года назад
The W204 Mercedes C63 AMG has a filter inside the PAS fluid reservoir. The fluid should also be green in colour. After lots of heat cycles and years in the system, it turns a brown colour! Just don't make the same mistake that I did when changing haha.

My C63 AMG *CRUSHES* its first day of drag racing!
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.2 года назад
Testing with the W204 C63 AMG was a blast, running in the mid 12's with fairly cold track temps.. all the runs were very consistent despite me running in comfort for 2 of them! If you listen closely, you can tell the runs where it ran in the comfort setting as the gear changes sound a lot lazier.. still fighting the wheelspin though!

4:50 - My favourite airplane.
I would not have expected anything less from that Tesla apart from spontaneously bursting into flames. 🤣
Impressive numbers. Gotta be happy with that.
4.2..... I'm impressed.
19:20: All Mercedes V8 engines have a cross plane crankshaft. Ferrari V8's and Lotus V8's use flat plane and that's why they scream the way they do. The 2014-2023 Ford Mustang GT350 also utilises a flat plane crank which is unusual in the US.
Music to the ears. The scenery aint half bad either just quietly. Epic roads mate.
That was a good decision to remove the spacers from the rears. A lot of people think it's a cool thing to do but it changes the load characteristic on the wheel bearing which, as you alluded to, can cause premature bearing failures.
Those black Performace Plus wheels look great on a white car. I just bought a 2012 sedan in Obsidian black. It had those same wheels on it but the combination looked horrid so I bought some aftermarket nice Koya SP03 18" (semi forged) in Silver and that just transformed the car. Everyone who has seen it thinks it was a top choice. The original wheels were not in good condition either so they had to be changed in any case. Cheers from Perth, Western Australia.
This video was well done. Nicely shot and edited.
I bet you miss that C63 irrespective of the cost.
Is it me or does this lad sound like Joe lycett
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. John
Where did you get that shift knob? Is that stock for the 6 speeds?
Fuel prices are criminal. At first i was shocked you only drove your car 3500 miles, but I kind of get it with the fuel costs...
I have the same issue with my 2011 Jaguar XJ. I was all ready to do it but wasn't sure how it would play with the calipers etc, but Im glad to see this video to give me a bit of extra confidence. Thanks for taking the time. Great result.
Are you noticing squeaking with the brakes?
@@47k_dc no im not, except once in a while when wet and/or cold, they groan a little while i'm in the driveway, but as soon as they're dried off they're totally normal. I haven't dont the paint trick on the calipers yet though.

I've recently purchased a white golf 2012 2.0 tdi , I love it.
There’s really nothing you need to worry about, except rust. I drove my last one 120K miles (and my current one 20K), and apart from routine maintenance and wear items like tires, oil and filters, brakes, etc. (I did replace the interior and top, which made my first, by then 10yo black on black car like new), the only actual failures were the clutch slave cylinder, twice. Neither of those failures caused me to be stranded, the repairs were inexpensive, and that was IT. Nothing else ever broke in a total of about 160K miles.
The green miata is the best one for me... like a balance between some extra oomph and not overly loud to drown out music playing in the cabin
hi .....do you know the part number for the bearing hub ? i got grease coming out of my abs sensor think the seal has perished
Please speak English. "Gifted" is not a verb in English. It is a noun that has been "verbed" (also not a verb). I received it as a gift or I received it free of charge or it was a gift. A habit from our transatlantic cousins. It's as bad a "birthed" (also not English). Otherwise nice video, Dominic.

I have a 2011 nc2, prht, kendo, 2lt with the five speed manual, in mica black. i love my car... it makes me smile every day even when i feel like crap... john
Respraying entire bumper because of a small scratch is crazy my man. You definitely couldve saved a lot more money on suspension noise issue, power steering fluid etc. I bet you can get it under 500 pounds per year just for servicing. Here, insurance is mental theyre not charging you for your age/driver profile etc but rather purely engine size and power so for example a 2L engine would annually cost 300-400 eur depending on power and year of production but as soon as you get to 3.0L you pay over 1k eur for insurance... That 6.2L engine would probably be around 1k eur just for insurance here.
I appreciate the video and watched it to the end 👍 however if you’re not actually dailying it, you have to factor in the cost of a second car. 3500k over two years doesn’t really give a full ownership experience. Really the video though, great work 👍
Point less just a dick
Hi, good tutorial ! Is it possible once the wheel is off to spray auto wheels blit hamber on the breaks or any iron removing chemical? Can anyone please advise thank you
I did exactly the same on mine, although I used motip Alu zinc spray, better corrosion protection and same look!
man, if you start count expenses on the car, it means you can`t afford this vehicle
That’s like saying if a millionaire starts counting their tax deductions, they can’t be rich..
28.8mpg - 8.17L/100km? My fiesta st MK8 burns more xd you probably were on grandpa driving mode but still. It’s like nothing
Well think about how much of its total power your fiesta uses to do 80mph.. maybe 50%? Then think about how much total power a C63 uses to do 80mph? Maybe 5%? So a powerful car is often more efficient at a higher speed than a lower powered (smaller engined) car.
imagine paying a hair bit over 130k in worthless british pounds for an oversized, annoying af fart can “bc titanium” and it still sounds like shit lol
How much is a new engine
Very informative - thank you!
I will love to see you back ❤❤
Btw M273 engines all have the same damn problems 😂
3:41 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Use hammerite, holds much longer
Very detailed 👍🏽
Plug the hose ends into each other to form a hoop. The remaining oil won’t leak if you store it with the rubber plug at the top. 😎
Just a few tips, I wouldn't use an engineering brick as used here as they have very sharp edges like razors and can cut the tyre, they also can shatter easily under pressure causing the car to move suddenly. If you are going to support the car metal to metal it's best to use a piece of dense wood between to help prevent jack or stand jumping out. Finally, the copper grease film is there to stop the alloy wheel 'welding' itself to the disc due to reaction of different types of metal. IE, Corrosion, sometimes even tyre fitters can't remove them when this happens, and it will often!
Another area to check is on the passenger side. Open the glove box and look at the metal behind. I had a mx5 NC and found the scuttle trim leaks and you will find rust on the inside of the car hidden behind the glovebox. It’s easy to check but a scutter to fix as you have to remove the scuttle trim and wiper arms to reseal it. This is a common fault.
Is it me or does this lad sound like Joe Lycett
Thanks. Why did garages always want to replace things in pairs. I have one brake disc at drivers side front needing replaced. Two garages have said. We only charge in pairs, so two brake discs required, plus two sets of pads??? Same deal with the rear. Rear passenger side needs a new disc. The garage said, 'We can only do it on pairs, so you need 4 new disks and 4 sets of pads. Seriously?? It's a Jaguar XE, R-Sport, 2016 model. Love from Scotland, ❤ X.
I would be more concerned about why your brake discs and pads are wearing more on one side than the other! But it's always best to replace both sides at the same time to ensure even braking performance, you really don't want one side braking less than the other, this not only can cause your car to pull to one side when you brake, but also puts uneven stress on your suspension components and tyres. Another big reason is - Brake pads and discs almost always come in a pack for each axle (i.e two wheels) which is 4 brake pads, and 2 discs. If you went to an auto parts shop and asked for brake pads for one wheel they'd look at you like you were crazy.
Thanks for that.
These prices are insane. £360 for bumper respray? Like wtf is this?
Water has been filling up my gas valve. Luckily nothing got in but it was getting very full. I noticed the drain hole today and it's full. I'm gonna clean it out today now 8)
Nice job. How long did this last?
Was machen sie da mit der routierenden Drahtbürsten ?
just a SUPER random thing to ask lol but why do the brits call a jack stand an “axel stand”? ..
They are two different things. The jack lifts the car and the axle stand is the fixed bit that looks like a tripod that you put under the axle traditionally
Try the B5053 between Ipstones and Buxton. you won't regret it. Great car BTW.
