Known issues by generation
The Mercedes-Benz AMG E63 S (S213) is renowned for its blend of performance and luxury but has specific known issues to keep in mind. The M177 4.0L biturbo V8, while powerful, can experience heat-soak, leading to intake-charge cooling challenges, necessitating thorough maintenance of the intercooler and cooling systems. Additionally, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9-speed automatic transmission may exhibit wear in high-mileage vehicles, particularly those subjected to aggressive driving, while the AMG Ride Control multi-chamber air suspension is prone to leaks, potentially requiring costly repairs. Ensuring your vehicle has a verified AMG-handcrafted engine plate from Affalterbach is critical, and any discrepancies could significantly affect collector value.
