    W203 C220 CDI (OM646) help, cold start problem/poor fuel economy

    It was measured on cold apparently. But also have measured when up to temperature and it was basically the same in terms of leak off amounts. The DPF sensor is unplugged at the sensors as well as the EGR so assumption is they are totally mapped out as there are no warning lights and nothing...

    M156 down on power

    Service, check the plugs and replace if they are not looking their best. Wack a bottle of Red x through. A diagnostic might show something amiss be interesting to see if it does.

    Hello and Introduction

    Personally buy on condition I had my heart set on a white coupe with ppp. Ended up with a Palladium Silver Saloon with an IPE manifold. Having drove the ppp coupe vs my saloon with the manifold mine felt faster plus the added noise is well addictive! I also preferred the much more supportive...

    What tyres do you all use?

    Conti Sport 6 on the rear and 5ps up front. Will change the fronts for 6s once worn down. They have taken things to the next level with the 6s over the 5p.

    Advice

    There has been known issues with noisy tappets, head bolts failing on earlier C63's but if you are getting it from a dealer under warranty then if you do get any of these issues get them replaced. Like most performance cars they are very heavy on rear tyres and the usual consumables such as...

    C63 Owners with IPE or similar headers and MOT time.....

    Yeh to be fair I dropped the car off at MB at 10am and they didn't do the test until 1400 and just left the car to idle to warm up plus the occasional long rev to show it off to whoever came in the workshop. To be fair serves me right for being cheap and taking advantage of a free MOT at...

    C55 rarity

    Technically 3 times the car if you go for a post 11 model like I did. In many factors yes it is, the exhaust note alone is just brilliant. It helps mine has the IPE manifolds fitted makes it proper loud and aggressive! Overall the C63 is a much more aggressive car to drive, it's a more raw...
