    C63 W204 - Serpentine belt, pulleys and tensioner help!

    So, I had a ganders at the weekend and will order the parts and do the work myself. It will probably take me longer to get the car on the race ramps, undertray and fan shroud removed than replacing, V belt, pulleys, tensioner unit. I brought the full workshop manual for the W204 from...

    C63 W204 - Serpentine belt, pulleys and tensioner help!

    I am actually ok with the £300 for parts, it was more the unreasonable labour which was a joke, I would only fit genuine Merc parts to my car, ocd and always keep my receipts.

    C63 W204 - Serpentine belt, pulleys and tensioner help!

    I have no problem paying £100 an hour this is fine but when Merc are quoting 2.5 hrs for the work, I find £160 an hour a bit of a pi@@ take.

    C63 W204 - Serpentine belt, pulleys and tensioner help!

    Has anybody replaced the serpentine belt, 4 x pulleys and tensioner on a W204 C63? One of my pulleys is going bad, so I will just change out the lot as preventative maintenance. Any tips how to get the radiator shroud out and what torque setting are the various pulleys? No room to do this work...

    Thoughts on this C63 Estate

    Taste aside the panel gaps on the Red estate kit don’t look great from the photos. Maybe it’s just the light on the bonnet and rear bumper.

    C63 W204....more questions :-(

    Any specialist with Mercedes Xentry Diagnostic Tool should be able to do the adaptions. Why not see how much the dealer charge for this? It’s a pretty quick process. Personally, i would try this route before pulling the box or starting to explore the TCU solenoids, MCT clutch. From memory...

    C63 W204....more questions :-(

    Mine did exactly what you are describing with the gearbox judder. I thought it was a mis-fire at first. Facelift model with about 50k on the clock. I took it to Alex at AMF, he did a road test, diagnosed what he thought was the problem. He did a full gearbox service, replaced filter, gaskets on...

    C63 Wagon 2011

    The insurance is very reasonable on the C63 estates, I use Admiral multicar. I pay two thirds more for a tuned mk3 focus RS (the daily) vs C63 on the policy.

    C63 Wagon 2011

    I run the same age C63 125 Ed estate but on 48k miles as a third car to keep mileage off it. It’s not missed a beat over the last 4.5 years. Longest by some stretch that I have ever owned a car. However it chews through rear tyres ( every 5k) and Shell V Power like it’s going out of fashion...

    W204 C63 Satin black centre caps for 19'' wheels

    I had them dusted over as masking the circular part of the merc embulum wasn’t gonna happen. Looks good better without the chrome bling imo. I guess if you were good with masking tape and knife you could mask them off.

    W204 C63 Satin black centre caps for 19'' wheels

    Why not get the center caps painted at the same time. This is what I ended up doing to guarantee perfect paint match.

    C63 AMG W204 Exhaust Tips Discouloured

    Have you tried some 0000 super fine wire wool and autosol metal polish. I seem to remember using some fine 3M cutting compound on mine when I first got it.

    Eurocharged map V5 - V6

    Anybody flashed the new V6 map on a W204 C63 with the my genius handheld? Other than small bhp gain and optional cold start removal does it offer any other improvements? Hoping the throttle mapping / sharpness will be smoothed slightly at lower speeds. It can be a bit snappy at times.
