The sign of a trustworthy car dealer is when they step up and take ownership of problems when they arise. You're a credit to your profession. P.s enjoying the videos too.
Harrowing story with that one Rob! But I hope your honesty and excellent customer service serves you in the long run, you're a credit to your customers and the business as a whole.
😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈 i know i shouldn’t laugh. Sounds like a long winding soap opera😅 …good to see you still have a full head of hair …but seriously, respect to you for being Professional and a Gentleman throughout
Can feel the pain on this one… owned 2 C63 coupes myself and both were spot on. Were not modified and always used V-Power/Momentum fuel. Biggest issue on these cars people use the wrong fuel and also most neglect the transmission oil change
That is what they say an unfortunate sequence of events.... Its annoying that the warranty company don't want to know. That you dealt with it the way you did is a credit to you even though it cost you a lot of money
I bought a c63 first time in 2012, following year I spent 20 big ones on wiestec 3.0 twin screw supercharger set up at MSL and had trouble free amazing 5 yrs of driving this machine absolutely and twice to amg factory in Germany in it in summer so it was hard at work and drove without issues however these cars need injectors and other preventive maintenance so they don’t go bang and end up swallowing your wallet like that poor Rob here 😢😅. Since then every amg I own I go straight to MSL for the tunes , I’m on my 5-6 amg now that has been MSL’d 😂, and touch wood they all been good . I have a 911 aswell but that’s standard I want it like that as it’s already a purist car my baby ! .. nice video mate I’ll pop over your garage to show my rare spec 730 bhp CLS63 S shooting brake some day 😊
Everyone needs Acid in their life LOL . Bet that C63 went like a stabbed rat with that supercharger on it , while it lasted anyways LOL. Jokes aside i "really hope" that tasty looking Porsche shows up matey . 🤞
I’m glad I didn’t buy that car, I called you on it from Spain and you’d taken a deposit by the time I got back to come over and see it. 40 grand if I remember rightly it was up for sale for, the video you shot of it was fabulous tho.
The c63 is a great car but theyre known for injectors sticking open, which leaks fuel into the cylinders and can hydrolock the engine and bend the valves!
My mate's selling his 2015 5.5 face lift, low mileage, 57k from memory, main dealer history if your interested Rob? He brought it round and I took a spin, they most entertaining 20 mins I've had in some time 😅

Hi Rob me again great video. Just wondering if there’s any value in buying low mileage cars still under manufacturers warranty, using your knowledge and bargaining skills. Some of the depreciation write downs on cars 18 months plus is frightening. Last week Maserati levante trofeo brand new £143,000 dealership asking £97,000. Seems an incredible buy or trying to get the monthly sales figures up?
I had a 2014 saloon C63 AMG 6.2L NA WHICH WAS THEN SUPERCHARGED!! (to all you pedantic twats) at 620whp. Had to give it back during pandemic as deferred payments long as I could. It was due a service and MOT. Seeing lots of C63 AMG W204 content on mu youtube feed and appears I've dodged a bullet with all the problems these can give. Like any high performance vehicle there's so much that can go wrong with these things. Yet I still miss her 😂😂😂😂😅😮
620whp NA? Surely these are only 480bhp with performance pack. Even a remap stage 2 with decats would be around 550 tops. Would never make 620whp on a NA engine
I certainly did! Problem was, it was running right. Specialist claimed it was, I thought it was, nobody could find anything amiss. There was nothing left to do besides slap a charger on… obviously!
Your own fault as tuning is nothing but playing Russian roulette & nothing but a massive gamble . If you want a faster car go out & buy a faster one from the factory
Like saying don’t put an extension on the house if you want one go and buy a bigger house…it’s not a massive gamble at all cars are very detuned from factory you have to know what yours can take turbo wise or fuelling wise IATs etc but what sort of petrol head leaves their car stock?😅
It wasn’t your mistake, it was MSL for not flow testing the injectors when highly tuning and stressing the engine. Poor show in the first place. You never would’ve had the £5k bill and two rebuilds. Hope they’ve learnt now and check.
@@THELOGBOOKUK may I kindly suggest, that retailing in the midst of an economic depression, and your recent woes, try more economical Japanese warranted products (Toyota and Lexus)
Warranty companies! 😅 You are fully covered for any vehicle defect, until you need to claim. 😂😂
Sound like a good dealer and fair play to MSL. Dealt with them myself and couldn’t agree more they are a very experienced knowledgable bunch.

Great story, and you did right by the customer, your reputation is excellent, hope the Porsche works out ok.
Thank you Steven, good news, the Porsche is here!! Phew!
@@THELOGBOOKUK 👍
You won't make the same mistake again, you will make a different one!! Great video, by the way. Cheers.
Bloody good story, the fun and Joy's of the motor trade. 😮
Lesson learnt don't modify a amg they spent millions of pounds on research and building fast cars you get more money back if you leave it unspoilt
Look on the bright side...... You've a penny top bar and an inset goldfish tank 😅

Id say you had a very patient customer Rob 😊
The best Auto channel on TH-cam bar none :)
Just in time for my brew break and AMG based too! Epic
😂😂😂 enjoy! (I didn’t!!)
Brilliant vid Rob. You're doing a great job. Having owned many AMGs I know your pain too well!
That is what they say an unfortunate sequence of events....

@@garymorris801 he def is, I bought my LC500 from him. Sorted some admin issues 👌
Good stuff again mate 👍
The moral of the story is...AMG engineers know best. Don't mess with these cars...
my supercharged merc is running strong in the engine department, but the gearbox is slowly starting to act up, am off to MSL myself next week for diag
Excellent video 👍
Everyone needs Acid in their life LOL .
Bet that C63 went like a stabbed rat with that supercharger on it , while it lasted anyways LOL.
Jokes aside i "really hope" that tasty looking Porsche shows up matey . 🤞
I have an F Type V8, Surprisingly you get used to the fuel bills after a while...
Nightmare. Fetch me that box of matches 😂
What we have here is a honest car dealer...Number11s everywhere classic...
Haha! Thank you!
Sounds like the customer decided to punt it on 😂
Wow! that's some serious issues. Let's hope your £70k Porsche is good 🤞
Hi Rob im feeling your PAIN Great video lol
You are braver then most people rob 😂😂😂
FYI there is no torque convertor in the MCT gearbox
Education had to be paid for😅
Have a look at Brothers Performance in Kent in the future for engine builds on AMG's...
you went wrong with A: modifying it and B: Birmingham 😂
hmmm.... in hindsight.... you're right!
Stock Performance should be enough for anybody
If you want a real headache swap those freshwater tanks for a saltwater tank with corals. You’ll love it I promise 😬
Seems so wrong to like this video.
Many more deals like this one, and you'll be needing those pennies from your new bar 🤣

the rods
I had the same issue with my w205 wrong fuel wrecks everything
MSL are that good but did a whole engine rebuild instead of checking the injectors first? 🤔
Hey Rob. Just stick with cheap motors! 😜
Was it the tune that cause it to shit itself? And when tuning do you upgrade hardware, like pistons, crank shaft, cam shaft etc
Not entirely sure TBF, I think it was a dodgy injector in the end.

Rob in your experience would you recommend any warranty companies out there? Or are they all absolutely useless?

E92. I've got one myself
That’s the jobby!!!
Ahh rob i feel your pain mate
E92👌
Did Ian like dodgy front window tints on his cars
Did something similar with a Caddy gas van pimped it up and ended up loosing £2k
I stick to 4 cylinders
A lot cheaper ?
More predictable oh no.. and head in hands malarkey 😣
Glad you enjoyed it David 👍
Wrong fuel? It needs 99 unleaded if you are running it on 95 you will see the difference 👍🏼

@@manofwar577 Ever heard of a supercharger dumb fuck.
@@manofwar577 Heard of a supercharger numnuts
You went to the expense of fitting a supercharger to a car that you had been told wasn’t running right?
I certainly did! Problem was, it was running right. Specialist claimed it was, I thought it was, nobody could find anything amiss. There was nothing left to do besides slap a charger on… obviously!
MSL in brum got plenty of bad reviews
No way I’d take a car there tbh as they seem fairly crap tbh
Rob you should have grey hair after this experience.
It’s slowly turning 😂
I wouldn't trust MSL I have used them before
Wrong fuel damages spark plugs, high pressure fuel pump and everything else!
Your own fault as tuning is nothing but playing Russian roulette & nothing but a massive gamble . If you want a faster car go out & buy a faster one from the factory
Where's the fun in that? Be like the other shmuck with the same car?
You sound like you'd be fun at parties.
@@TheM5Dog you sound like a 🤡
Yes but that faster one from the factory can be even faster
