Go to the beginning of the thread. You will see any engine less that 60658 on the end is affected.

So yes yours is in the affected group. Any amount of research on the forum would have given you the answer, including this thread!

Well, your car is a 2009, right? I can tell that from the VIN.
So........what does that tell you, based on the thread title if nothing else?

To be fair, the thread title sucks. It should really say something more clear like

"Headbolt Problem Affected = All 2010 and Earlier Cars, Some 2011's"

Hey Joe I wasn't busting on you at all man, I'm just saying the thread title could be clearer. We even agreed on that a few pages back. Just trying to help man.

"2010 & older" <-- I'm not sure what to say if someone doesn't know "2009" is part of the "& older" category. Maybe that they're challenged....

I mean, just trying to help with the English-challenged and illiterate members who are coming in these days. Maybe it needs to be more obvious like "If You Have a 2010 or Older C63 You're Fuked, Maybe 2011 Too". I don't give a **** as I'm in the clear.

"What do you mean by 'Older C63'? I thought this was the first edition. Well, not the 'First Edition' first edition, cos I heard those were only for the 'next edition' but was there an older style before ours? Is that what you are talking about? And did it have problems too? What were they? Did they have the headbolt issue? Why just the 2010 and then the older model are affected? What did they do differently in 08/09? And what do you think a good price would be for a Next Edition First Edition cos I was thinking about maybe getting one of those. Are they worth the money? But I may get an older S sedan, whats up with that suspension? Is there really air in it?

And can someone help me find a good meatloaf recipe?"

You cant save stupid people, no matter how precise your language.
