Also, to your comment about the Mechanics, I've attached the Technical Service Bulletin that covers the issue. Also the TSB was pulled down off of MB servers. Wonder why? :-)


Thanks, I'm not saying that this issue doesn't exist but it's always nice to make sure I liked your attachment


I have pulled out the data card for my car


My engine: 156985 60 049858
The car got 44xxx miles on it, haven't experienced any low coolant level yet.


I haven seen some guys change a lot of stuff not only the head bolts, cams, gasket etc. MB changed the cams right? Do you know the reason for that?

You should go here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-stickies.html, and review the head bolt posts. There are extensive discussions about this. As far as I know the only things changed on the TSB are shown on it.

Why do you keep asking for a check on 2010s?

The title of the thread states - "all 2010 and older, and some early 2011s".

So all 2010s are affected. If you don't want a car that's affected, you need to look at 2011s (and I will look them up if you find them) and 2012 or newer.

Hopefully this is clear.

Regards,

Joe
