    So, since November 9th, 2022, no further details or info posted in this thread. What happened?

    C63 507 Edition Wide arch project

    Yes I have kept mine installed. I have heard of mixed comments with pros and cons, so I have left it in. Stuck in traffic jams in hot weather, I haven't noticed any major difference to be honest, so I'm leaving it as is.

    C63 507 Edition Wide arch project

    I have the same enlarged cooler kit installed in my 13' C63 coupe. Installation was done over a year ago. I'm very happy with this upgrade and have never seen oil temperatures over 110° even after some very spirited driving up mountain roads on hot days. When the oil temperature gets to 110° it...

    MB Parts Information System

    A reply dropped in the mail from MB yesterday: "Thank you for your request. The purchase and renewal of Parts Information for private individuals are no longer offered via the Service & Parts network portal. If you as a private person are interested in Mercedes-Benz Parts, please contact your...

    MB Parts Information System

    I have been a subscribed and regular private customer user of the MB Parts Information System for many years. Suddenly I now longer have access to the system, nor can I renew the subscription. It would seem that Daimler has reserved the access to this programme to business customers. "PRIVATE...

    Tyre pressures W204 c63 19s

    I stick to what is recommended on the petrol filler panel

    I like the last one. It has more slant in the font which fits in better with the AMG

    C63 W204 oil - 5w40?

    Yes the Molygen 5w-50 is MB 229.1 approved and not 229.5 which is the one recommended for the M156 engine, but was considering the use of this 50 weight for summer driving (temperatures in the 30°c range and plenty of mountain pass fun

    C63 W204 oil - 5w40?

    Any thoughts on a 5w-50 type instead of the 5w-40 for use in hotter climates and conditions?

    C63 W204 oil - 5w40?

    Forgot to mention in my previous post that my C63 uses the 5W-40 Liquimoly oil in the purple bottle. May go for the new Molygen at the next oil change.

    C63 W204 oil - 5w40?

    I believe the 0W-40 variety can be used when driving in cold climates, otherwise it's going to be a 5W-40 with the MB 229.5 classification. I was reading that MB says that the oils which say MB-229.5 approval do not in fact fully MB approval. Contents must mention "MB-Approval 229.5" on the...

    Optical illusion probably, but in the first pic the gap of the thin strip looks higher at the end than the beginning

    Thanks markjay, I'll give this a try

    That age old question - Super or Regular Unleaded

    At the beginning of my ownership with my W202 C43, I would fill up exclusively with 98RON or V-Power. Switched to 95RON and have been using it for over 10 years with absolutely no side effects apart from having a softer wack on my wallet. For the W204 C63 however I'll stick to the good stuff...

    W204 DAB Radio Options?

    Ah, I hadn't thought of using the Bluetooth option to connect internet radio onto the Comand. Just need to figure out who to do it. Phone is already paired to Comand, so perhaps connecting internet radio will be simple. I'll give it a try...

    W204 DAB Radio Options?

    Ahhh so it seems that DAB was an option. That's really a cheap trick

    W204 DAB Radio Options?

    Also have a question regarding DAB. Recently purchased a 2013 W204 C63 coupe and I can't find the DAB option in the Comand unit. When looking at the available frequencies, I see the usuals; FM. AM, etc. but no DAB. Is this normal or can it be activated via the "Engineering" page?

    W202 C43 AMG bonnet refuses to open

    Finally gave the vehicle to the local MB dealer as I was stumped finding solutions. This had them quizzing also as these older W202 models don't seem to get much attention at the dealers, not forgetting that the younger technicians don't know much about them or rarely work on them. Fortunately...

    Forgot to say that despite looking in the WIS, I didn't find any reference or way to fix this
