I highly recommend if you're going to go and get engine work done, buy the engine package from Weistec. They supply the bullet proof package with transmission etc.
You won't look back. They're the original and the best.

Weistec do the best work.
Buying a Built Engine Package with heads, transmission etc from Weistec is the best thing to do.
I'd rather do that than have someone i don't trust in Aus build me something. It's an AMG build, not a SR20det Nissan.
Weistec know their ****. They know it to the point where millionaires and royalty in the UAE choose to use them to work on their cars.

C63 AMG Edition 507
Hi guys, car has ticked over 9000klms and I had a check engine light, so took it to Mercedes and they said the fault was cylinder number 2 had misfired once. They looked over the car and said they couldn't fault anything, this was two weeks ago. Well today the check engine light has popped up again and I get the feeling it's the same problem but will have to wait till Monday to take the car into Mercedes.
Car runs fine and you wouldn't notice if it wasn't for the CEL.
Has this happened to anyone else? and should I be concerned? Cheers!

Single cylinder misfire pretty much rules out o2 or MAF sensors. Plus running on 7 out of 8 cylinders you wont notice any power loss unless at WOT or racing.
At the end of the day a misfire can be caused for alot of things, but chances are it is your plugs.

Sounds like a spark plug, pull them first.

I started the car this morning and the CEL has gone, so not really sure what to do now.

Beautiful car mate Congrats!!
Another 507 owner here from Sydney
Might we worthwhile to drop into your dealer and get a diagnostic scan run on the car. Just for peace of mind. I've had the occasional cloud of smoke on start up / low on oil after 4000km, which I've been told was totally normal on these cars.
Either way hope you get it sorted.
Enjoy

2013 AMG C63 Coupe 507
507 Coupe here from across the ditch.
Took me a while to get used to the paddle shifters.....
BLUSH!&* My tuner looking at my log saw I'd run 9300rpm when I went from 2nd to 1st instead of 3rd.... eeek! These are STRONG ENGINES. My Chev LS3 would have been in little plastic bags and a wheel barrow if I tried that. That was when it had only done 2800km. Done 9900 now and about half of that in Targa Tour events - runs like a clock and can hold a Lambo G 560 and pretty much anything else exotic I've come up against.
Hope you can get 98 - I cringe when I see people adding 91 into their AMG's (note to US readers - 91 down here is like 87 there).
Looking for 500rw - am at 458rw now with stock exhaust. These 507's are very fast cars.
Ran Nitto NT01's on Targa. 245 front and 275 rear on 18" rims. Sticky and awesome.... and not bad in the wet once warm

2013 AMG C63 Coupe 507
BTW - DPE (Aussie made) make an awesome header setup - will post pics when mine arrives. Built for right hand drive and has true merge collectors with race spike (Pickle) - supports 750hp flywheel easily. What I like is they have no welds inside the flanges unlike other makes I've seen which create eddies in gas flow.

Are there many Australians on this forum? I recently acquired a 507 sedan (1500klms on clock). I've come across from an M3 and absolutely love the car, suits me better for daily driving.
Anyway, if anyone has any tips for getting traction lol, the best stereo settings and any modifications that would be appreciated!

Lowered on HR's, Eisenmann exhaust, ADV 08 TS, CF intake and giro disc 2 piece rotors. Love the car!
