New e63s with some issues
Just bought this 2014 e63 amg s. pressure tested and found Pinole leaks in lower charge air cooler hose assembly that connects to lower electric pump. Looks like it’s not a quick replacement. Ordering a new hose tomorrow. Has anyone else had this happen? Seems odd. I know these cars are all made of plastic but even the rubber gets pinhole leaks? Going to get it fixed soon. Been fixing all sorts of things with this car already.

These vehicles can extremely disconcerting when our expectations are not attuned with reality.
Once we familiarize ourselves with the types of short comings that got baked into these wonderful systems, we can enumerate them and schedule remedial without surprise.
-- The whole cooling circuit : Plastics + Rubbers + Radiator + Heat xchgr
-- Soft rubbers in suspensions + transmission + mounts + CTL Arm/TieRod bushings
-- Solderless pressed-pins in control modules (CAN-B/C)
-- Misc additional stressors, such as marginal lube with oil solenoid and gremlins galore from painted GND, 16V capacitors not forgotten.
-- Weak seals leaking through: oil-in-harness, bumper radars
-- Evaporated grease lubricant: Idler bearings, HVAC actuators
It seems overwhelming but it's actually pretty well built for timely service.
You must use the list of Easter-Egg and the current map of minefield to prevent any destructive surprise.
Stay one step ahead:
Forget about piece meal repair jobs
go with mixed campains at once.
This way... NO CHAOS, NO PROBLEM!

Yes I have been sifting through all those links for about a year before purchasing this vehicle. It’s a vehicle that is going to be needy. And I have already seen that In the last two months. Going to spend this Saturday replacing that hose and doing a transmission service with pentosin 134fe and genuine filter. Also going to likely replace the brake pads that came with this car. They are noisey as heck! Looked at the pads and don’t see any markings or brands or part numbers on them. The vehicle came with these front and rear and also a full set of new looking gyro disc rotors. Next is addressing the rattles in the rear package tray area and front a pillars. This car should be a gem after I am done with it. That’s just what I do and how I with my vehicles. As of right now it is not perfect by any means. Also see an oil leak developing on the alternator area. Btw also has the known front diff leak. Drained and filled that already as well. Owning this car feels like a cracking dam with bubble gum holding the water in. Lol
