Tell them exactly what part number to order. It’s your money and your car.

yeah. If you ask and SA tells you they have the older part #, then that might be a flag for you to be concerned.

Thanks for posting your update. Just to be clear about the extended warranty, it was the "factory" Mercedes extended warranty, correct?

Was it the Mercedes service techs/advisors that notified you it was going to be covered under your extended warranty? If so, then that would indicate you have the MB extended warranty.

I believe this might be the first confirmed instance of the MB extended warranty covering a RMS leak...which is great news because I have the MB extended warranty as well

It's listed in the covered items for the Extended Warranty brochure at the end of the list.

just received this from the SA:

I have not had part list them in your repair order yet. But these are the parts number on the S63 I currently have coming. With this being the same engine im assuming it the exact same part numbers
LEFT: A1770105003
RIGHT: A1770105103

they don’t match up with what was previously posted so ….. ?

Yes and that offers some assurance, but the actual policy language does not include that list. From what I remember, the policy language defines what is covered as all things that are not named in the "what is not covered" section. In any case, it's great to have a real-world example to point to.

This is what my SA was able to come up with but it looks like I’ll be waiting a while til they actually get here. Picked car up after brake job and a B service but SA wasn’t there, supposed to call me on Monday to discuss further steps … numbers certainly don’t match up with what you guys have posted …. ?

the latest: just got off phone with SA, Oil Separators backordered til at least middle of July, likely longer than that . . .

In case anyone is interested, my GLC63 just got diagnosed with a RMS leak. 2020 with 25k mikes. Glad I’m still within the factory warranty.

Sorry to hear. Did the dealer state the cause is failed vapor separators?

They haven’t really begun the work yet. I’ll definitely update this thread when I learn more.

winters here in Idaho are a bit on the cold side but we've lived here only for a couple of years and I haven't most miles in this climate. Oregon was not quite as cold but much more humid . . .

2019 G63 AMG & 2024 AMG GT63
Im in Arizona as well.... However I have a 2019 G63 AMG @30k miles on it. I noticed it in the last 1-2 weeks, and its just recently started to turn into the normal AZ summer 110* plus. So maybe the heat made it worse? Not sure.

Noticed some oil on my garage floor. Looked under and definitely has some oil residue on the covers/area where transmission would meet the block.

I have not had it diagnosed yet, however after reading all this, i'm about 99% sure it's a RMS leak.

So add the G Wagon to the list, and there is a thread over there as well.

Quick question for those with the problem, not that I plan to wait very long, but is there anything to worry about if I can't get it repaired ASAP? Am I able to drive it still for a week or 2 until i'm physically able to have it checked out and repaired?...other than, of course the drops of oil in my garage.

I just don't want to be driving it and blow the RMS completely out and have oil everywhere and a blown motor.

I'll be demanding they replace the separators as well. Clearly they know this is an issue, maybe a class action lawsuit would get their attention.

Also, anyone have any luck regarding coverage the emissions warranty if the bumper to bumper is expired?? The emissions warranty is longer isnt it?

Have a bottle of two of oils and monitor the oil levels

My process from seeing oils on the garage floor to diagnose to actual repairing it took nearly 3 months
