    Hi Joe,

    Would you be so kind to send me a VIN report. 1984 500 SEC. The car spent two years in Germany and its now in Argentina. I'm trying to also track down the original dealer and get as much information as possible. It arrived at the Moroccan embassy in 86.

    VIN: WBD1260441A022952

    Best regards and many thanks

    Richard

    Hey man! I’m looking to buy a C63 (another one LOL) and was wondering if you could help me figure out if this one has the m156 affected by the head bolt issue. It is a 2009. Here is the VIN: WDDGF77XX9F307278
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi there I was seeing if you could search this VIN number for me to see what kind of c63 this is. I’m looking to buy this car and the current owner says it has the p30 package but I don’t know if that’s true. I really want to know if it has LSD. Please and thank you!

    Joe,

    I purchased an 09 C63 2yr ago with low mileage in the late 60k range. The car is originally from Canada. I love the car and currently have 78k miles on it. It has no issues. I stumbled upon the issue with early design M156 head bolts while researching something else and I have to say I'm concerned. My VIN is WDDGF77X19F261923 and my engine number is 15698560039910 so it appears I have an early engine from the effected group. I would appreciate your opinion.
    1. Can the head bolts be replaced prior to a failure without pulling the heads(One at a time back to torque in a sequence) or are they likely already so weak that the head will pop off upon removal if it hasn't already failed?
    2. Do you have any statistics regarding failures like I have an x% chance of a failure based on know failures compared to known engines with the issue?

    Can you please send me a build car for the car? Thank you in advance, I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge.
