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 11 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 1,9 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!

A Cooper SD with just a remap (approximately 220bhp) is a sweet economical ride. I recommend it!
Well done 👍🏼
Thanks for the helpful video! My 2017 hard top just started filling with water when it rains heavily, and I was pretty stymied about what to do. Your video makes it look possible-I’m not a mechanic by any means! I’ll order the trombone cleaner and see if that remedies it.
Never say the word investment when it comes to cars 😂
@@bomberbolton Nick Mason and Bernie Eccleston would disagree! In the UK, vehicles are exempt from CGT.
@ if you are buying the same cars as them; fair play. And if the capital gain on this car exceeds the running costs, fair play at least you won’t pay tax.
5000.....think of your turbo
Thanks for sharing!
Somebody put the steering wheel on the wrong side.
@@nick-un9pk we drive on the left, so you’d struggle if it was the other way around!
Funny, left-side steering wheel Miatas have the handbrake on the passenger side i.e. your drivers side, effectively the same location. Hence it's way out of the way for us reasonable people who drive on the right side of the road, pun intended ;) I suppose that it was intended to be on the drivers side though, as Japan drive on the left. As a rugby front rower I appreciate it being out of the way xD
Really good video, I often return to watch this just for the NC exhaust ASMR!
Lol... The "beast"
Is it best to re-apply some copper grease before putting the wheel back on so it not hard to remove the tyre later down the line?
Funny watching this in 2024 and being a apprentice for Mercedes where the labour is £190 a hour 😂not £70
Great tutorial pal, I'm especially pleased to see you use the drill and wire brush attachment to remove surface rust because I've started doing that to my disks and was wondering if I'll be causing damage so happy days.
I’m looking to buy a ‘10 c63 with 88xxx the history is good. but if I do end up getting it I’m take it to a MB mechanic & have them change the head bolts & maintenance, but I heard it risky to change the head bolts is that true?
Not being a wise guy, but, you could have brushed that and the caliper in the time you spent masking.
@@MrTuberguber brushed? Like cleaned?
@@CarThought I bought brushable caliper paint. Did the outer rotor edge, hub and caliper, fast. (after cleaning)
the best exhaust for any miata is a roadster sport
Oh yea just watching this video cus im going to buy one tomorrow!…..jk
Is infotainment different in 2019 model than 2015
yeah a whole generation of i drive up
@ no update online
@@curiousgeorge6921no, you have to replace the whole unit if you want to upgrade
How is the noise if you don’t push hard will neighbor ms feel it if you drive slow
absolutely brilliant video, not showing if its a hard or soft top... cut the camera right on que..
I’m about to buy a 2014 Jetta tdi I’m going to put a timing belt/water pump on it and a high pressure fuel pump day one to halfway bulletproof it I’m excited I can’t wait to get it!!!
Where at
None of these seem that bad… coming from a Porsche 996 owner 😂
Hi is this lanoguard ?.
If you are truly a good driver, don't need to buy insurance lol
Be mindful there is a downwards rubber 1 way flap in there, so if you’re using that trombone cleaner you must exit down, don’t yank it back up since u may damage the flap. By “there” I mean on the top side of the built in hose behind the retracting seat belt ( you have to move the plastic trim aside to reach the drain tube compartments).
Id be spending more than £800 a month just on fuel 😢
6:55 - jaaaa pierdzieeele 😅
The first disks are fairly clearly below minimum thickness. the lip on the edge is the giveaway. Time for new disks there.
Infact all the disks look seriously worn. what a waste of time.
Wouldn’t worry about it mate. It’s not your car 👍😂
@@CarThought yeah when the brakes overheat it won't be my problem. Let's hope the poor person in front is lucky.
If you think you can overheat 360mm x 36mm vented front discs on the road.. you’re another level of insane.
@@CarThought except they are more like 34mm now. Pointless having a conversation with someone that spray paints discs beyond acceptable runout
Does it leak oil though?
Very brave handling used engine oil on a patio without any protection, sheets, towel, cardboard etc. It always spills. I think I can away with it, but it always spills. Thanks for the video! £100? More like £175!
Going to be doing mine over the next few weeks, thanks for the walkthrough! I've got a 2013 PRHT and the rust is much worse than your's... licence plate lights have given up too to suspected water ingress...
Some very good examples on auto trader starting at 20k!
7:10 mate, that overspray
It seems rather expensive TBH. There are ones that are powered from the car battery for only £15-20. And they're much smaller.

4:54 you take them out by pressing on them with 2 or 3 fingers and sliding it towards the screen (inwards sort to say?)... That way they don't go out flying
Hi! Is something needed to apply the factory logo (heat gun, etc.) or does it just need to be applied to the clean surface?
Great video. very good insights mate
Cheap ! Very affordable in the UK In Taiwan, it's 2020 pounds a year just on taxes alone. Insurance would run you 200 quids a year depending on your options, but that's just third party liabilities. Which does not cover your own car if it gets damaged, a proper full coverage would run you 600 quids a year minimum. Gas prices on 98 Octane is about 79 pences per liter. Garage labor is better here, at around 40 quids per hour, parts price are on par globally. Taiwan has this stupidly outrageous amount of taxes on big displacement engines.
15:09 don't you have an antidazzle flipper you can use on your rear view mirror?
4:50 "Make sure you put this in a safe place so you doin't scratch it." I can't emphasize this enough, do not lay it down anywhere that isn't soft and cushiony. I simply laid mine against a wall and boom hundreds of scratches just like that.
Great advice, thanks
