Looked at EPC, they want $75. How can I find out if they have been replaced if affected?

Thanks Joe

Hi Guy's

Looking at C63 with engine number: 5698560062963

The car is out of warrantee but as its above the 60659 engine number, I therefore presume Im ok.

1. Can someone please confirm my math? (sorry, best to double check !!!)
2. Have we seen any failures or issues with engines above 60659?

Thanks

Dylan

1.) Your math is correct. 62963 is greater than 60659.
2.) No failures reported with the revised bolts.

This car is beyond the changeover point. No one has ever reported to the forum, any specific failure related to the new headbolts.

Excuse my lack of knowledge but I am transitioning from BMW to Mercedes-Benz. I am looking at a beautiful 2010 E63 and I am concerned with talk of faulty headbolts on the M156 engine. The car has under 35K miles on the clock so it might be possible that a problem has not presented itself as of yet. I still have warranty but I'd like a VIN check to see if my car falls within the affected range. VIN#: WDDHF7HB8AA116113. Thank you.

If I could trouble you for a data card that would be awesome. Btw about how much is the fix costing others either at dealership or indie?

Please, just look again at the title of the thread for your affected question. Incidentally, your vehicle looks to be perhaps the earliest M156 I've seen. In regards to your cost question, please do your forum research.

Datacard attached.

Joe
