Hi guys,

Just picked up a 13 g63 with 20k miles at my Maserati dealer with my old car traded in, this is my first Mercedes and have owned pretty much every other European brands before this ( porsche/bmw/landrover/Mas /Lambo)love the truck so far, and I'm based in Nyc/north jersey. A new newbie questions:

1) There is a pretty noticeable vibration above 80mph, the car runs straight. Is this a wheel balance problem? Or nature of the beast?

2) rear side light error comes off and on, If I smacked the light, it goes away is this something that you guys live with given its a handbuilt old truck?

3)there is 1 year left on the original warranty. Should I buy extended warranty now or towards the end of the warranty period assuming if I keep the truck.

4) I'm fairly active on forums, is this the right forum for g63?

Thanks in advance guys and here is a picture of the truck with a custom bamboo carbon bike.

Nice G63!


1. Vibration is a wheel balance problem.

2. Something is loose with your light. Disarm it and check it out.

3. I dont know how it works in the US but if i have the choice to extend the warranty ill do it.

4. Yes this is the right forum. The problem is that the G-Wagen owners dont spend so many time in the forum. Im also in the Mbworld.org forum and i think its more active than this one.

Working on brake upgrade PKG over here. Not sure if you've noticed, yet, but rears fade quickly.

Isn't this the mbwolrd.org forum? very odd that G-Wagen owners are not so active as they are usually more into cars than the average person.

I'm on my 4th G-Wagen, i've put Brembo's on every one of the others and after having my newest (least powerful) one for just over a week, i've decided to do the same as all ther others, brakes on these trucks simply don't do the trick when hot or especially on mountain road switchbacks - i just hope that Brembo's will fit with stock 19" sport wheels i have on this one

Oops! i meant Benworld.org.

They should- but keep us all posted. Good luck!

GKID

They don't! and i've spent the last 8 months trying to source frome stoptech, brembo, etc etc etc...need 20" wheels to clear any decent size brake uprgade - even the G63 system would require 20" wheels...Argh.....

advice advice advice gents....????
