Hi Chaps,
I'm hoping one of you can point me in the right direction regarding a trustworthy option for an engine repair / rebuilt and refit on the 6.3 V8 unit. The beast has ran perfectly since I purchased a few years ago. Have clocked up 96k (around half done by myself), but this weekend an engine management light came on, followed by the car entering limp home mode. Called out Mercedes Assist, diagnostics showed a chain of events Re misfire, fuel pressure fault, injector fault on cylinder 4 then what appears to be the terminal blow of engine hydraulics. Car wouldn't turn over on attempted restart. It's now at Sytners MB and they are advising lottery numbers to try and solve, even suggesting the repair bill would exceed the value of the car.
I love my CLK63 AMG, can anyone help with advice on a UK company other than MB that would be able to strip, repair and refit an engine of this type, for a 'semi' reasonable fee?
Help / advice of course appreciated.
Tony
