    C63 Track day, gearbox oil being blown out

    So.... It appears the breather was blocked/faulty, causing the ATF to be forced out of the dump gasket. Transmission out, new breather in and a rapid 3000 mile trip up and down the Alps and, fingers crossed, all appears to be good. Gauge temperatures were reading higher than on the track, but...

    C63 Track day, gearbox oil being blown out

    There is a code 440 which is basically the black series oil cooler, lines and modified vents. But only available on face lifted models. As it is the MCT transmission which is mainly at fault. There appear to be very little issues related to the pre face lift models. Apparently in the states...

    C63 Track day, gearbox oil being blown out

    They are talking about the possibility of it leaking through a vent? But have to do an exploratory, and want to remove the transmission to check it???

    C63 Track day, gearbox oil being blown out

    Sorry for the delay in replying! The car is booked in to the dealer on Monday for them to take a look. At the track, the car was jacked up and had a really good look to see if we could find where it was coming from, but due to there being a film of oil over the bottom of the box, we couldn't pin...

    C63 Track day, gearbox oil being blown out

On the next lap I get black flagged! White smoke coming from my car and dropping oil. On inspection, we cannot pin...

    C63 Tyre / size choice 18" Rim

    Ok thanks The PSS are only available in non std sizes for the 18's. Front 255/40/18 Rear 265/40/18 275/35/18 Is this likely to cause any issues?

    C63 Tyre / size choice 18" Rim

    Hi all Im sure this has been done to death, however I can find out a lot of info for 19" rims, but not a lot on 18"?:dk: I am currently running P Zero's and I'm not overly impressed. They are OK but not great. I have been looking into Michelin PSS, which loads of people on 19's are more than...

    C63 seat...

    sorry to drag up and old thread! But... Did anybody get a definitive fix for this? How much was the repair? I have just bought a 2009 and neither of the seats bolster/lumbar adjustments work. So, I thought I would ask before I investigated. Thanks
