If it's your passenger seat are you sure it's not the belt buckle hitting the hard shell seat back? If that's your issue just put the backle by the magnet in the seat and problem solved. It's been posted in some thread here. I forgot which but I a
Do posted a picture I took of my car showing where the secret magnet is. If by creeping you mean a different sort of noise sorry am no help there.

Thanks for the suggestion but it isn't the passenger seat.

Update:
I finally have the car back whilst a replacement seat is being made. Should be available mid to late January. My only problem with this overall is that it took Mercedes AMG Germany far too long to come to the decision. I completely understand that they wanted to be sure it was the seat and that they would prefer to repair rather than replace but the line was drawn at too late a stage.

Lets hope this shorts the problem DragonRR and you can enjoy the car without any more problems that take this long to short out.

juse

So long
How is this even acceptable to you? Dont know what to say. Seems you'd be without the car for 3 months or so

DragonRR

40 days in total Juse. If it had have been multiple problems I would have gone down a refund route but it is a noise from a seat. I like the car a lot generally.. If I walked away from it I would walk away from the brand completely (probably).

juse

any news?

DragonRR

Not yet, Mercedes UK are due to ring me with an update around the 15th.

On another note:
Glowing review of the C63s here:


Personally I prefer Silver

DragonRR

Got a call from Mercedes UK. Seat on route from Germany. Earlier than I expected tbh given the time of year. Now I just have to hope the noise really is the seat!

Sanch

Man, I really do hope it is the seat... this has been going on for too long.

In other news, my mate just picked up his RS6 performance and wow! lol Its ridiculously fast for a wagon, will definitely smash the coupe.

DragonRR

Thanks Sanch.
The RS6 is a great car, very fast in a straight line and very practical but heavy and boring once you get over the acceleration, I only kept mine for six months, it just didn't grab me. Despite the minor seat problem I love the way the C63 looks on the inside and outside and feels to drive, really don't care if a Golf R can beat me to 60 on a rainy day

michael640D

Hope this solve it DragonRR keep us posted when it turns up.

Sanch

I agree, the coupe is much more fun to drive

Some shots from Autogespot of an Iridium Silver car with the thicker rimmed alloys. I'm still undecided about them.

masar

You consider to get them? I spent more than month of deciding about these wheels. Spacers and lowered car and they might look great. I can still change my order (March delivery) but majority convinced me to stay with multispokes...

Vic55

I like the multi's personally because they look bigger on the car as their silver rim liner is smaller. I always felt, visually, that the thick spokes looked smaller because the size of the silver lip.

DragonRR

My thoughts exactly but having seen the US/Motorsport version car with the yellow version of these wheels spaced and lowered (as masar suggested) my opinion changed a little. I don't regret my decision but the thick rimmed wheels have grown on me.

I've posted this before, but I love this shot so here it is again (taken with a phone on the day I collected it).

Vic55

They do appear to carry more of a motorsport type of appearance for sure. Slightly reminds me of a BBS CH wheel.

masar

Yes, i agree.... Especially 19" front wheel look very small. I think they should do 20" rear and front for these wheels and it would look great. 19" front is just too small with that big lip. These wheels look great on new AMG GTR.

masar

great shot. car is lowered?

DragonRR

No it's totally stock.

DragonRR

Well.. for the many thousands of you who have been waiting for news on my seat replacement .... It has arrived at the dealer.

auditoamg

Yahoo, brother!!!! Hope those resolves!

DragonRR

Well... this hasn't gone well. Went to pick up the car yesterday. Got in, new seat installed. All my settings had gone ... which was no surprise really... tried to adjust the steering wheel and it wouldn't move down or up. Waited an hour or so for it to be fixed but it wasn't so I'm now in a loan car.
