  • Thoughts video on the car, performance what has been done in terms of mods and the good points but also the not so good. This car has it flaws and you should be aware of this when purchasing so I try and explain those in detail as there is not heaps of info I found on RUclips so hopefully this makes it more helpful for those looking to purchase.

    my uncle had one of these in night package, it was insane, almost exact same spec as yours, had bucket seats and 19" multi spoke alloys, the performance and noise is insane, looks elegant too!

    Nice! I just got a 2019 GLC 63 s AMG a few days ago. Traded in my Mustang GT for it. absolutely un-real. What's up with the check engine light?

    • @ssidewayz

      Check engine light has gone away - I haven’t been able to pin point anything concrete. The car runs fine and all systems fluids etc are ok, apart from the washer fluid which is empty and it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s that so I’m topping it up tomorrow. I do also read up that tuned M177 need new plugs at around 60000km and I have just done 62000km - so this could be the reason also as it can cause a misfire with bad plugs etc.

    • @Str8Bangerz
      @Str8Bangerz Год назад +4

      @ssidewayz I highly doubt washer fluid being low would cause a check engine on a 2019 GLC 63s. A scan from an OBD2 reader would show exactly what's going on. Could be the plugs, but you won't know until doing a scan.

    Very similar life situation here. What were you deciding between when you chose this? I’m almost 50:50 on this and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrofoglio. Reckon my wife will prefer the air suspension on the Mercedes though, so it’s probably going to tip me in that direction.

      X3M, the VW Tiguan R was another and the jeep SRT8, also considered the Audi RSQ3 also - but for me Merc won on engine, driveline, sound, and blending all of the the other cars good points into what I think is the most rounded package of all of them

      Hey mate yeh I have read it - tbh there’s a million things it could be with these euro electronic things - just the nature of the beast. I haven’t had the issue crop up since I had it serviced with new spark plugs and major A * B service was performed and since then I’ve tried out launch control a few times and driven hard and hasn’t popped up so I’m thinking it might have been a fuel/spark reading issue. Quite common on these at 60000km it is recommended to throw new plugs at them especially on tuned cars where they are fueled up more the plugs can go dirty easily and will then give engine misfire under hard load etc
