- I bought a wrecked Mercedes C63 last year a rebuilt it into a black series replica. But i haven't been able to drive it for a long time due to a unsolvable issue. Today im going to try and solve the problem but it turns out to be harder than i first thought.

Wise words 💯
that 100% has to be the next tshirt.
Very wise
There’s always something to consider!!
Racecar spelt backwards is racecar ,,,,, racecar upside down = expensive
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This should be on some Merch😂 with a picture of the C63 lol..
We love your Dad's energy!! Engine blows he laughs 😅
Finishing every sentence with laughing doesn't get in the least bit tedious, at all, ever. (turns volume right down).
Engine very bad lol.
He is such a good Vibe (((( ))))
😂😂😂😂
Meanwhile I'd be crying in the fetal position 😭😭😂😂
Always love to see your Dad with the same energy as you.
We need to hear hi it’s Aaron here from zollotech and today we’re looking at a Mercedes c63
Man Tony is a riot. Love your dad. He deserves his own channel !
I love how the cameraman is always included in all the videos. it's so cool
7G tronic gearbox takes blueish green 722.9+ ATF fluid. You can drain the torque converter if you unbolt the electric pump for the start stop lubrication. (if it has it). You will see a rubber grommet. Take it out and spin the torque converter with a screw driver until you see the little drain bolt. Remove the little bolt and hang sometype of little hook on it so air can get easily in the torque converter to drain it completely.
Almost all of the 722.9 gearboxes you can drain the torque converter. When refilling put 9 ish liters in the gearbox. Run it to around 40°C. Let it drain till it begins to have a flow with bubbles. Than you can seal it back up.
MB 236.15 ATF fluid for 722.9+. Not sure about the standard 722.9
ALWAYS use new bolts for the transmission oil pan. Torque specs 10nm for torque converter.
4nm and 90° + 90° for the oil pan.
22nm for the drain plug.
This is why I love TH-cam. Knowledge is power that is rarely free these days. Who doesn’t like something free, especially knowledge!
The facelift doesn't have a torque converter, instead it has a single clutch. I thought it was called AMG speedshift MCT.
@@tubejorrit and does that clutch uses any kind of sensor? The malfunction seems like the car is safelly going off as on a manual when you brake in gear+out of clutch pedal
Funny I'd say nearly all 722.9 dont have torque drains. they stopped putting them on about 2004
We need more of Tony and Matt working together trying to solve little issues like this. This video was a riot to watch
Mat's Dad laugh always put a smile on my face. Please protect this awesome man at all cost.....
@@DD450 yeah the only comment that doesn't make sense is yours buddy. You don't need to find logic in everything. Keep being serious in your life but let people live without your opinion!
I read on a forum from 2010 this might be the issue, “Turns out the problem was a seized up oil level sensor and a shorted wire to the instrument cluster.”
Mat needs to see this, I read the same and was looking to see if anyone commented on it.
@matarmstrongmk2
This needs to be a top comment!
Great to see Tony's is alot more confident infront of the camera. Owning the channel when Matt isn't there. Really well done team 👏
Hi Mat I love ur da he’s soooo funny he needs his own channel u go Tony
Tony is the real superstar of this channel. 🏆
About half way through and this is already another one of the best videos... I absolutely love your dad. His energy, humor, awareness, the way he incorporates and interacts in general, adapting to everything thrown his way to deal with any situation he's, full of charisma wisdom and knowledge, and I could honestly keep going on and on no problem but instead I'll just say you have such a great man as your father, take care of him he must be protected at all costs. Keep up the great work you guys are the best.
You can drain the torque converter (there is a rubber cover on the bottom of the bellhousing which exposes a small plug in the torque converter, you may have to rotate the engine to find it, some 722.9 transmissions had drain plugs which were the later trans) do all this at the same time as you change the filter, remove both cooler pipes and blow out the cooler lines as well this will help the convertor drain as well, the little green tube you can actually just knock it into the transmission sump (usually breaks) which will help drain 99% of the oil, I only use the Merc trans oil it's green in colour just quote the VIN to mercedes dealer, I think the manual states a 6 or 7 litre refill, I always get 8 litres, when you refit the filter and the green oil level tube to the sump, simply pump in about 5 liters of oil, start run for 30 seconds, shutoff pump in the remainder of oil, then start run through all forward and reverse gears, then using your diagnostic tool get up the trans oil temp, I think from memory wait until oil temp is at 45 degrees c, shutdown engine and check the level of the trans sump if oil pours out wait until its just dripping, if no oil pours out add more oil until the oil is just dripping out of sump plug hole.
Remember the green tube sets the level of the transmission at 45 Degrees C
I turned the engine over at least 4 times with the rubber grommet out and there was no drain in the torque converter guaranteed 😂
You have to keep the engine running while draining at temperature. Or the oil will be to low.
If you have the rubber grommet you have a way of draining the convertor, if not pull the two cooler lines out of the trans and run some air pressure through one of the lines a couple of PSI should push all the oil out....................search for How to Drain Oil From Torque Converter // Mercedes here on youtubethis guy shows you exactly where to find it, MERCEDES WIS Doc AR27.20-P-0200-03R if you still do not believe me@@tonyarmstrong-fe1gl
correct@@sebasgerrit
I also did say in my first comment some 722.9 transmissions did not have the drain plug but they are very early transmissions
You should buy your dad a car of his choice to rebuild with you and make a series out of it. He deserves his own channel 🙌🏻 legends each and everyone you even your dog 💪🏻
TBH I thought the surprise for Tony in Monaco was going to be Matt giving him the Aston, but he gave him a watch instead
Love how Hannah wanted a C63 and she’s claimed ownership of the Range Rover 😂
A lady who learns from her mistakes!
Massive downgrade.
@@shadowblack1987for once a Range Rover is the more reliable of the two.
Mat your dad is a pleasure to watch. What a wonderful human being, so happy and jovial all the time!
It's easy to see why Mat turned out to be such a glorious human being just by watching his dad for a few moments.
Matt, your dad is a funny man, a pleasure to watch and his energy is amazing. I wouldn't mind spending a day in the garage with him, it'd definitely be a good laugh 😂
Thumbs up and subbing for Tony. Love your dads energy. Cool to see a father and son working together on cars :)
This channel should be the Tony channel :p
You dad is great! “I’m not always happy, because sometimes I run out” 😂 14:42
The relationship between you, dad, camera man, and your fan base is truly something to strive towards. Inspirational.
I want that toooooooo
this is the best duo in automotive history like not even a dull moment. they just keep you smiling i love it.
Not dull, no, but the CONSTANT laughter does get annoying
I 100% concur. Everyone is legendary, what a team, including Kevin 😊
It may have started as mats channel it’s really become a whole team effort from mats dad, to his partner and friends all led by mat. It just makes for great content. So many TH-camrs have such huge egos and have to be the main dude but mat may be the boss he’s totally at everybody else’s level in work and fun.
Love watching Mat and the team even when Mats not around. You guys have a great thing going on there!
These 2 deserve their own mini series an absolute funny entertaining duo 😂
It’s clear why Matt has turned out so well. Great dads = great sons.
He seems like a lovely chap.
I never understood why certain car manufacturers went from making traditional oil dipsticks to having extremely unreliable electric reading systems
Because Engineers live electric Gimmicks creating electric gremlins!
Harder to DIY it
More people will take it to the dealership
For women
C63 has a dipstick as well
It’s all a move towards not having a bonnet catch for owners to use…
Your dad is a freaking legend. Always so happy. More videos with just him!
we need more Dad and friends videos like these. It's pretty clear that the relaxed and positive and happy personality rubbed off on Mat. you are all awesome
Man your dad is such an awesome guy! i love him, and his laugh 😄
I swear to god this car has never worked
It’s always a nightmare 😂
@@matarmstrongmk2😂😂 lol
Bro is only speaking facts
Hi Mat, my name is Edgar and am a fan from Nigeria. Enjoy watching your rebuilds. How is Kelvin? Keep up the good work.
@@edgarpeter-peprah6237honestly this is the first time I’ve heard a 9ja boy called Edgar😂.
Absolutely love your dads energy, what a nice chap, hope to see him more doing videos by himself haha, btw love your work matt, keep it up!❤

2011+ c63 had blue fluid for transmission also you're supposed to knock the plastic pipe off to the side to allow all the fluid to drain out.
I think I’ve figured out why Matt’s Dad is always happy and smiling when it goes wrong or right! He’s spending Matt’s money instead of Matt spending his! Now the shoes on the other foot! 😂😂 in all seriousness I love this channel and you guys. Always entertaining! Never change!
It's Monday morning here in China and Matt's dad has put a smile on my face. Great start to the week. Thanks, GUYS.
We need more Tony his enthusiasm and laughter is contagious 😂
Tony absolutely cracks me up I can't keep a straight face when he's about 😂
This is an epic episode. Tony is a legend. I'm absolutely cracking up. What a pleasure to watch
I haven't known you and your dad for a long time now, but ever since I started watching you and saw your relationship with him I fell really happy just to see him on your videos, it was really a pleasure to see a whole video of his like it was his channel, I really hope to see more of those, I am sure you are gonna love rewatching these videos in the future with your future kids, these things are eternal, so keep creating great memories with your dad, we love it and we know you guys love it aswell. Happy for being able to see your guys history while it's being written. You guys give me a lot of hope that I will be able to do this with my future kids, and create those memories with them.
Brilliant lads...love your work...and great that Mat doesn't even need to be on his own channel any more! seriously, great fun watching you chase down these issues
Tony is always so fun to watch, He's so energetic and funny. Had me laughing the whole time.
They make a great team, we should get more of their videos on this channel.
I love when the clip switches back to the car and Tony slams the box on the side so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 9:46
Your dad is an absolute legend, such a down to earth guy. Your very lucky Matt, have an awesome Christmas. Keep up the amazing content.
Good video guys. I've got a C63 and I'm going to be doing a transmission service in a few weeks. Have you swapped the injectors out on yours? There's a common issue where an injector can fail in the open position and hydrolock the engine. So a lot of people swap them out as a precaution. I changed mine this week. Glad I did, lots of carbon build up on the old ones and my cars only done about 35000 miles. It's's quite an easy job and bosch OEM injectors are not very expensive. Looking forward to the next video.
Matt, your dad is having the time of his life, watching him work on the amg, it is obvious where you get your sense of humour and zest for life from, keep up the good work.👍
14:52 not always happy cuz sometimes i run out of it 🤣🤣
Bro your dad has to be the funniest person on automotive TH-cam , I’m literally at work on break laughing my ass off!!
One of the funniest videos you've ever posted. Had me laughing non stop from the time your dad took over😂😂😂😂 he is an absolute gem 💎.....can't wait to see part 2
Dad’s awesome man. You both are lucky and blessed to do this together. Keep ‘em coming bro! Great channel!
I had the same problem with my mates Nissan 350z 2 weeks ago we had to put a new second hand gearbox in it with the old torque converter put back in & that has solved it.
Keep up the awesome work you have inspired us to take on damaged car build & do road trips ❤
God bless dad!!! Always a smile to calm down the stress... Love it
You can see where Mat gets his energy and drive from. Well done Tony. Pushing yourself outside your comfort zones. Looking forward to the Next Tony build ;)
Mat, your dad is a natural this was so entertaining I absolutely loved it. ❤
Hi @matarmstrongmk2 ! Been watching for a long. Its always so fun to see you and your dad. Your love for each other and cars makes my day. Dont forget to tell him how much he means to you, you can never tell them to often. I lost mine, one day its to late and you wish you just said it one more time. You make me miss mine in a good way! Thanks for your content! Best of wishes from Sweden.
I have a friend had the same problem it is to do with the brake light switch is connected to the throttle position sensor good luck hope this works out for you
I absolutely love this dad ❤ he is mint and a hard worker with lots of talent 💪🏻💪🏻
This was such a joy! Tony is the best. Really enjoyed that. Let these two run the second channel. Tony's laugh is so infectious!
You guys are a thrill! Love this show, keep it up 👍
I just like how your dad is having the best time
Your dad’s laugh is so contagious. What a man😂
Love the energy of the mk2 channel the 15 seconds of oil was the peak 😂
Hey guys!
Love to see a project with family at the core it is a great sight. Keep it up!
.
Do you have a specific system to find manuals, part lists and parts for your vehicles? Also if someone with zero experience wanted to start repairing crash damage cars like you guys do, do you have any advice?
His father just lightens the mood😂😂
Your C63 now identifies as a manual 😂
The dad all we deserve... Mat you are god damn lucky man! I am not jeaolous of you because you have a super cars etc, I am jealous of you because you have a brilliant dad!
Honestly the bes crew ever, it’s such a laugh to watch everyone overcoming issues. Dad is awesome, keep laughing and keep doing your thing, never stop, this is the way to keep young and healthy
My guess is your crank position sensor is on its way out or the fuel pumps or possibly your fuel pressure sensor. Could also be related to the oil sensor giving the car a false reading thinking that it’s out of oil.
Mr Tony is such a vibe..just brings a smile to your face
Great video you two, very frustrating for you both still not sorted. 👍👍👍👍
Love these videos with your old man! such a legend!
Loved this your dad is the coolest 🎉🎉
Do love the sound of the c63! Like driving a thunderstorm!
Love your dad mate, you’ve got a gem there, he knows his stuff, but think he’s a learning on the newer cars, absolutely love him, needs to do more on his own 👍🏻
Such a great team. Mathew, great Job!
Boy that episode was so fun, your dad is such a good laugh! 😂😂😂
Your dad looks like a fun and awesome person to be around when you are doing what you love to do... Respect to all you guys
Love it guys. Looking forward to part 2!
2nd channel don’t belong to Matt no more
Looks like you need some heat in that garage
Tony is absolutely ace on the channel 😁 so nice to see father and son working together. Hard work definitely beats talent Matt 🤟🏻
far out your dad has some quality banter! 👌 love the channels mate big ups from New Zealand
I’m happy to see you posted something I’m having a very bad day/month and just going thru a lot mate 😢 you guys bring a smile and laughter to my day even if it’s for only 20 mins thanks Matt . HWBT
Actual thou I'm 23 today and it's not going well but this may well have changed my outlook im sitting in my demio contemplating life and your dad's energy makes me wanna smile and try to laugh.
ur dad's energy is always the best😅
Love this video with your dad. Love the energy and laughs he brings.
Mat, I've watched more of your videos than I can count. It goes without saying that I deeply enjoy your content, but I had to speak up finally just to say that your pops is nothing less than an absolute treasure. What a great, happy, always positive lad. Happy for you to have him. You guys make an absolutely wonderful duo. Keep up the brilliant work!
Fair play Matt's dad is always happy and full of energy I wish I was like him 😂 he's either just naturally happy or he likes his disco biscuits lmao 😂 oj they're a great bunch and probably my favourite TH-camrs this past year for definite 😊😁😁👍
It’s amazing see mat’s dad working. He’s always keeping his smile and laughing at everything. Make the video so much better . Best regards from Brazil 🇧🇷. Wouldn’t you think in translating your videos into Portuguese or at least the subtitles ? I presume there would be a big audience of your content. If you have any interest I can help you with.
The banter with these 2 guys I could watch all day. ❤ from Australia
your torq converter lockup clutch is starved of fluid and so it stays applied causing the stall you either need to change the tc lockup solenoid or the conductor plate.Both are cheap and easily doable with your tools and equipment
Hi Matt, I would love to see some custom interior stuff. Manny thanks to the brilliant entertainment!
Love your Dad and his infectious laugh!🤣🤣🤣
Can’t help but smile when seeing your dad on videos his laugh is infectious always smile such a top guy
Such good energy this whole episode!!!
I literally rebuild and install Mercedes-Benz transmissions everyday for a living because my dad has a shop in San gabriel CA. The oil from that transmission is supposed to be blue oil not red. I know by the size of the lil dimples on the pan. The bigger ones on this car mean its a blue oil transmission while red oil ones would have smaller ones. Mercedes transmissions switched from red to blue oil in the middle of 2010. So everything from mid 2010 and beyond 2010 is blue oil. Also, he could have drained all the oil if he hit the tube off w a screw driver. You also have to make sure you use a blue oil filter and not a red oil filter. They're different. And if it has a wet clutch then they don't have a drain plug. Some of the torque converters have a drain plug but most don't. Never use aftermarket filters because they burn up the transmission. We get burnt transmissions everyday with aftermarket filters. And the car has to be running so the oil can pump and be up to a certain temperature to make sure the oil is the correct level. He probably put the wrong amount of oil in. It seems like they probably have a torque converter problem with the way the car is driving but they might burn up the transmission too because he probably put the wrong amount of oil in it. That's why you don't let people work on your car who don't know what they're doing lol. Torque converter is probably locking up but now the transmission is probably screwed too lol. If anyone needs a rebuilt transmission with a 2 year warranty then look up my dad's shop "Mercedes Benz Transmissions" in San Gabriel CA and ask for Jim the owner.
Nice guy, allways optimistic. Thats the way to do it!
I love these back down to earth type videos ❤
Mat your Dad made my day! Torque converter clutch is probably stuck on, don't know how or why but it's the only thing that can mechanically link the engine to the final drive. Either faulty TC or TC solenoid.
i would like to see even more of your dad, is beautiful seeing him happy no matter what 😂
I love all this engineering videos of you mat🤲🏼🔥
