Upgrading My Mercedes AMG With ECE Engine Mounts - Car Part or Art?

In this video I go over a solution to a common issue that plagues basically all AMG's and Mercedes alike, the OEM rubber hydraulic fluid filled engine mounts that love to fail.
I replaced mine with stronger East Coast Euro (ECE) Billet Poly "Street" Engine Mounts for added responsiveness in the throttle and shifting as well as a much longer service life than OEM.

I have ECE gold engine mounts , & transmission mount, and Creative steel rear diff & rear subframe bushings !

Creative Steel also offers a great product for poly engine mounts, one of the best upgrades you can do to an AMG. Have solid/poly mounts on both my C55 and ML55 and it makes a world of difference!

Love these vids man, post more!!! I am looking to buy an M156 with possibly higher mileage so I've watched all your vids.

Ahmad is great. one of the first upgrades I did , even before they were worn.

I saw your car today and it’s really nice.

Have you done the Eurocharged tune? I really want to get a C63 once I found out you can get an extra 90hp

I’m looking at upgrading from my w204 C300 to a w204 c63. Have you had a lot of issues and higher maintenance costs?

I just switched from a 2011 c300 to a 2011 c63 with 62k miles.
I've had it for 2 months and no issues yet, I will let you know if anything crazy happens. The only work I needed to do was get all 4 struts replaced. Just give the 63 more TLC and you should be good. More frequent oil changes, listen to the sounds of the car, do the research. This is a high performance trim obviously, so you should be prepared to shell out $$$ if/when things go badly. It is definitely worth it and a much more enjoyable driving experience than a C300. The c300 is more economy oriented, while the c63 is an absolute monster. Tires will be a more frequent replacement, and the c63 eats through rear tires, especially if you're driving hard. You can easily go through rear tires twice a year, and front tires every year or year and a half.
Also, gas is huge. I usually averaged about 300-350 miles on a full tank on my c300, and now a full tank (on good behavior) will get you around 200-250 miles. With spirited driving, you can go through a whole tank in a few days.
The main serious problems with the c63 are engine weaknesses. Headbolts (on 08-2010 and some 2011) models were super faulty and would break, causing coolant leaks. Camshafts and cam adjusters are extremely fragile and Mercedes had a class action lawsuit due to problems caused by weak materials. Lifters are also a risk as well. These are all hefty fixes, so if you can't do it yourself, find a third party Euro shop that knows what they are doing. I would recommend going for a facelift model (2012-2014) to mitigate the risk for headbolt failure, and it has a better interior and transmission.
If you are prepared to deal with these potential issues (along with anything else that may come along) then the c63 is a good buy. At the end of the day, it is a car and all cars have their issues, so there is risk involved. But that risk is made up in smiles and enjoyment from a c63.
Make sure you buy one with maintainence records, and maybe learn how to turn a wrench to avoid paying labor fees. If you wanna go down that route, look up Tasos Machatos on youtube. MBforum will be a good resource as well.

when should u check engine mounts and transmission mount?

[@maxmerc]

You will feel vibration throughout the car that progressively gets worse. It first begins at idle in reverse and drive mainly

[@qimingliu2180]

Awesome video, good info for a fellow C63 owner. My friend recently did a review on my 2014 C63 Coupe (tune only) wanted to share and see what you think: ruclips.net/video/9g_nTh_fEGc/видео.html

[@maxmerc]

Thank you, and I have actually seen your friend's review it's very good! Makes me want to tune mine so badly.

MaxMerc Good stuff! The POV version just posted and it sounds heavenly (all engine/exhaust no talking 😎) ruclips.net/video/OmqQ2SVVhG8/видео.html
