TUNED W213 E63S SPARK PLUG

Hi guys, New to the forum and this is my first post, please forgive me if this topic has been discussed elsewhere as i have tried to search it but could not find anything on the W213 Platform.

I’ve currently got a 2017 E63s with a stage 1 tune that is drinking a lot of fuel when driving around in comfort mode. I thought it may be the tune but recently two things have occurred that i feel is plug relating.

1. There is slight knock in the engine when i cold start it (scanned it and nothing has come up) so I’m guessing its excess fuel not being ignited.

2. Stop start does not work, (not the worst thing with how annoying it is lol)

I’m going to change the plugs later this week but due to the tune don’t want to really go oem hence why i have written this post.

Could someone please assist me with which plug I should get?

Would you say OEM is fine?

Thanks in advance guys.

there is recall on w213 e63 need a new update start with that and your eco stop and go will work, engine knock all amg motors have, my suggestion switch to renntech plug and play tune, easy to switch back stock in case you need service at dealer ship

FWIW a weak/bad starter battery will cause the start/stop to not work.

Not necessarily. The Start/Stop feature will stop working long before the "critical" battery notification comes up.

Yep what he said is exactly right! My Stop-start would not work the first 500-1000miles on the odometer because it sat for long periods of time. When I started driving it more, it started working again

thanks for the reply guys,

I changed my spark plugs at 45,000 kms and funny enough the issue's were resolved, im sure it was coincidental but nonetheless.

Huh? Was only correcting a prior mis-statement. And who is "evertand"?
