Hi guys,
Question for owners in HK. Do you all take your car back to ZF to service or do you have better recommendation on mechanics who can do a better job? If it's the latter, appreciate if you can PM me some details.
Thanks for ur help.

Hi Brendan999,
Nice to meet you.
I would bring to ZF if i am still under warranty. But Once you hav modified your car, then things may be a little bit more complicated (e.g. they wouldnt do a simple wheel alignment with my Forgestar after market wheels, their reason is their equip. doesnt 100% fit...). They could only do it with standard AMG or Benz original wheels.
Honestly, i hav tried many famous garages in HK (those often advertise on car mod. magazines). A lots of them appear honest & friendly, but do things which you would not have imagined when your car is inside their garages.
(and of coz, these are purely personal opinion & experience only...)
P.S. PM you also. pls check.

Thanks lap time for the info and PM. Much appreciated.
First thing I need to do is to replace the cabin filter. Can't stand the bad smell from the air cond anymore.

I guess everyone who has spent his/her percious time here is car lover in 1 way or the other, so its good to share experience (good and/or bad) & mod. info...
I have recently replaced the power steering at ZF, there was clicking sound when turning the steering wheel (car being stationary). The bad smell coming from air-con when switch on engine, i also had the same experience which ZF helped me to replace a new part to solve this problem.
Also, i had just switched back to my original AMG exhaust system (2nd cat. deleted) as the so-called "complete VATH exhaust system" which I bought from a reputable HK car garage started to leak air at the welding joints and serious rust is spotted at the end tips after 4-month use which made me start to suspect...anyhow...
That's very likely to be another bad car mod. experience...(still verifying...) so i cant say 100% at this moment.G'luck in finding a trustable & responsible car garage as there are many in HK (purely personal opinion)....

is this official for all or just private meeting here?? time? venue?
Have you? so was there a small meeting already?? (great, coz i didnt remember seeing any post reply when an official gathering was posted...so i really not sure if - no one wanna meet here at all OR some members only prefer small group meeting...
so anyhow....my topic is a simple one - IF no one here wanna meet, then we can just drop this topic, but if some members here in HK still wanna gather and chit chat, then i am interested to join for sure.
may be we should have a show of hands here - does any c63 owners wanna meet in HK??

Sure. I just changed the exact location to Pier 5 instead of 6 (as Pier 6 is too close to the Taxi stand).
