I haven't seen any issues with aftermarket set ups. But to be honest I'd buy new so they'd be under warranty should any issues arise. Its soured ownership at the moment. Crap design by Mercedes and the flaps inside the exhaust are not built to be replaced or serviceable - its basically replace...

Hi All, I've been fighting with this stupid poorly designed exhaust flap in one of my rear back boxes. Boost has been restricted to about 40% because of this flap for weeks. Changed an actuator/motor which must have been fried from trying to move the seized flap. The error code when plugged...

I though i'd ask this in a separate thread instead of the one i started a few days ago regarding the valves being stuck closed in my rear boxes (which MSL are hopefully able to sort next week). while im there im considering catless downpipes. I'll be retaining the factory performance exhaust...

thanks mate. Spoke to acid yesterday. im almost certain the butterfly valves not working are my issue - the symptoms are certainly there and hopefully its a straightforward fix of removing them and coding them out. as im now making the day out trip to MSL next week, im now considering...

hi all, just thought i'd report back. the issue has been on and off for the last 5 weeks or so. it was serviced with Mercedes last week (fluid changes, plugs were not changed). the issue is still there. In any gear (seems to be mostly higher gears and mid to high revs ) where there is a bit of...

Thanks for the info. I spoke to acid at MSL yesterday and before anything he suggested the car getting serviced first. It’s actually due a service and is booked in two weeks time anyway. Possibly a change of plugs might solve it. If no success he said to speak to him again and then we start...

Hi all im after some thoughts. Ive had my w213 E63s for over two years. I had it mapped last summer by MSL and it’s been even more fantastic since. Recently however, the car doesn’t feel the same. Few weeks ago I remember it flagged up a load of issues - brake assist not operable, electronic...

Hi all I have an E63s (W213) and I’m looking at my options for fitting rear entertainment. I understand at one point a w213 could be spec’d with the rear entertainment “ready” seats, which is basically just the plug in point for a Mercedes or third party screen that plugs into the back of the...

Thanks for the insight chaps, good vid too. you’ve got me thinking wether I just bite the bullet and buy a full set of winters then. basically I’ve managed fine on the PS4s in our winters with the e63s so far (and a panamera before it). I never felt that the car felt dangerous or needed an...

Hi All - forgive me for bumping a very old thread. The rear PS4s' are due replacing on my E63s within the next few weeks (20'' Wheels). Im considering winter tyres - Michelin Alpin's as per the OP's tyre choice, as opposed to another set of PS4s considering the time of year. Generally, is it...

i spotted the yellow one on the opposite side of the A470 a few weeks ago in South Wales and mentioned it on Pistonheads as i questioned if it was genuine or a rep. i actually said to myself 'no way' as it looked very convincing from far but i know there are no genuine Solarbeam yellow C63 BS in...

Hi All when i had my car mapped by MSL it was pointed out that there was a loud ticking from the engine. It was more pronounced because the bonnet was open, but its a noise i feel that i've heard from day one of owning the car 18 months ago when its on idle. Basically its the Purge Valve. It...

im all for protecting a motor - to keep it almost mint, easy to clean and of course retain some future value. Personally for me, £11k to protect an E63 is too much - if it was something with strong residuals like a 911 GT3/RS etc then fair enough. cant fault it though OP - you've picked the...

All correct above. Acid advised a 12% loss, so all numbers on the dyno print out are multiplied by 12% to accommodate the loss at the crank. the car is always run on 99 fuel, and was on 99 for the dyno.. I imagine this making a ‘slight’ difference? was made aware of the purge valve ticking...

thanks! I heard it’s the fastest colour too.. haha

Granted not 'today' but was Saturday haha. Fantastic customer service and experience @ MSL Peformance. The car is quite the savage now too!

Well i made the trip: Wasnt my first time at MSL, but was my first Remap at MSL. I dealt with Acid thorugh the whole process and what a guy. A real credit to his company! Some fantastic cars there to watch being tinkered with before mine went on the Dyno. Admittedly a long day especially...

Hi guys looking at getting a stage 1 map on my E63s to open up some potential. current options are MSL, DMS, JF Automotive and GAD tuning. Ive not read any issues with any of the above and all seem to have great customer and after care service. im leaning towards MSL being AMG gurus but DMS...

the car in your link on your first post has been for sale for quite time with Ash Motors. I bought my E63s about 4 weeks before xmas and spotted that ash motors one well before that. hold out and find the right spec car if your certain about moving from that cracking CLS! I have come from a...

...well, picked the car up Saturday and although I'm only 400 miles in (220 of which was getting it home!) I absolutely love it. I was concerned about the condition being a press car but its immaculate, and a very hard car to fault. it does have 11k and is 18months old so It was as I expected it...
