Hey guys

Evening guys...

Im currently in negotiations to buy a 2010 C63 AMG.

Primarily i came to try and see if the engine number fell into the "bad" range.

From initial searches,i seems i may just have scraped out of the numbers if i understand them correctly..

Car is registered in 9th September 2010 and engine number ends in 60061676


Anyway,thats another thread i hope to contribute as much as possible when hopefully the sale goes through...

All 2010's are affected, MB did not change the headbolts until mid way through the 2011 model year. Its one of the reasons that I bought a 2013.

Just send Valvestud a pm with the car info and he can let you know.

Get Valvestud to run the VIN, and he will let you know if it is affected.

Not if it's a UK vehicle. Engine number 60061676 is NOT affected.
