It comes up as a 2009. Either the VIN decoder is wrong, or you’re retarded.

Seriously. Where do you people come from?

Sure take the dealer at their word. Car is fine, practically brand new. Guaranteed never to break.

Some of you dense people deserve to have cars blow up on you if you can’t read.

Just purchased a used engine out of a 2011 C63 with serial 15698560061366.

From the service bulletin it appears to be past the 60658 revision. However, the head bolts are still the inner torx head design.

Is this a concern?

Thanks!

That's 708 engines beyond the cutoff. Are you sure that's the engine serial for your VIN?

If you look at the first "edited" post in this thread. It appears to have happened before.

Since we've believed that all 2010 and older, and some 2011s were in the affected range, I'm confused about how this one could be outside the range. I did a search to find out which digit in the VIN corresponds to the model year, but had no luck getting a clear answer.


Anyone have any thoughts on all of this?

Yeah, not quite sure what to make of this. It would seem to indicate MB's cutoff number is incorrect. OP, do you have the VIN number that the engine came from?

Joe
