    AMG GTR rear wings

    I am looking for a rear wing like the GTRs for my GTC convertible but it isn't an easy task with all the poor quality products out there. Ideally it needs to be carbon and I will be getting the based sprayed to match the car like most OEM ones are. This is one I found with good reviews but I am...

    Oil pressure gauges

    I am trying to do a check on my oil pressure for a 178 V8 engine and wanted to know if there is anything that could be used on a temporary basis? I did look to see if P3 did a nice vent gauge for the AMG GT platform but they only do them for A and B series models which is probably due to economy...

    Lithium battery trickle charging

    I was told by my garage my GTC has a lithium battery that costs £900 to replace and needs to be kept at a specific charge level. They suggested I buy a trickle charger from MB and leave it plugged in constantly. My issue is when I park it at the front of my house I don’t have a suitable plug...

    M177 and M178 fuel filter issues

    As we all know many modern engines run super high fuel pressures through injectors with tiny jets. I understand this is to aid fuel efficiency and power but unfortunately this comes at a higher risk of failure, especially from dirty, contaminated or old fuel. Having done a bit of digging it...

    Soft top cleaning

    I’ve decided as it’s a nice weekend I’m going to hopefully get the soft top treated and looking like new. I bought a Renovo kit with fabric cleaner, reviver and ultra proofer. This is the roof after the cleaning process which isn’t looking too bad. Because it wasn’t in a bad state I used the...

    How many AMG GTC owners are their on the forum?

    Just thought i would see if there are currently any other GTC owners on the forum. On the Lotus forum I was in there was a section for owners cars broken down in to models for posting pictures only. Very useful for forum users to click on a car they are thinking of buying and seeing all the...

    Insect in rear light

    My 2018 GTC has a tiny insect inside the rear light unit and I wondered how the bloody thing got in and how can I get it out?

    Fitting clear ppf

    I am just about to have clear ppf fitted to my AMG GTC front bumper/valance. It is probably the most expensive part to have covered due to the shape and complexity (£550 + vat). My question is do these GT cars need to have the wings and bonnet covered or does the bumper suffer most of the stone...

    Workshop manuals

    I am specifically looking for a workshop manual or something that has a diagram and explanation for an AMG GTC dry sump. I am trying to find out if it has the dreaded 2 stage oil pump solenoid and learn enough to know if it needs to have the mod to improve engine life and eliminate damage from...

    M178 tuning options

    I have a the M178 engine with the same turbos, uprated cooling and dry sump as the GTR. Is there anyone on here with tuning ideas, especially anyone that has a GTC or GTR they have modified? Currently I have a set of 200 cell downpipes with the GPF delete ready for installation. The cat 6...

    AMG GT in tank fuel filters

    I have recently been told that the AMG GT V8 cars do not have inline petrol fuel filters. If correct this seems madness especially when I am led to believe the fuel filter is part of the fuel pump. If this is correct does anyone know what is involved in replacing or cleaning the in tank filter...

    AMG GT V8 down pipe upgrades

    I see it is popular to get the down pipes upgraded on the AMG GT. Has anyone done this and what are their thoughts, especially with removing the GPF?

    Injector reliability

    I have read a lot about the damage that occurs if the injectors get stuck open with the 4.0 V8 engines and wanted to know what owners do for maintenance. I have read some owners change the injectors after X amount of years but this is a very expensive preventative maintenance task. I have a...
