Since the samples do no include any C63, it is hard to know what exactly Alldata has for the C63.
Anyone else use it, is it worth it.

yeah, I pulled the trigger for a year.
Was reading through some of the bulletins.. and am a little pissed now. Some of the complaints I had about ticking noises (explained almost identically in the bulletins) when I took my car in under warranty, they explained as normal and would not look at them... Now I am wondering if I do actually have an issue.
At the same time, it is kinda like self diagnosing with webmd.. when you have a sniffle.. oh hey, same symptoms as ebola.. I must have ebola :P
It is just that they never performed any of the diagnostic tests recommended... Maybe it was a bad idea to read those...

Those pinpoint tests are spot on, if you do them correctly and they point towards an issue I would take the car back to the dealer and say you had a private shop look at it using the Mercedes tests and that you think they should double check it before something catastrophic occurs and makes you an unhappy Mercedes owner
