Mercedes-AMG M177/M178 Engine Overview | 4.0 V8 Biturbo (4K) 

This is by far the best video on the M177 & M178 engine variant from Mercedes AMG.…Ls1 & Ls2…..Hmmmm sounds like a Chevy engine. Brilliant video.

My CL63 with it's M156 V8 will always have a place in my garage. We are a dying breed, the few that still remain have earned respect in the car community.🔝☑️

Misfire and leaning running codes (rough running) are usually fixed by a vin specific ME software update. The engines make a lot of power but for emissions they run really lean, and sometimes it triggers the misfire counter although technically its not misfiring.

I love you man, and i love what you do, you're a real amg meister

This is the. Best 4.0 v8 in the market

Incredible video, well done man

I am so glad that I am subscribed to your channel. Brilliant video!

Nice video and great analysis. Thx for featuring my AMG-GTC!

Very good information and nicely edited.

Note @4:15 : The power in the M177 LS2 is actually rated up to 630 hp and 660 lb-ft in the AMG GT 63 S but no mechanical changes vs. the E63 S are listed. Also, the text should say 850Nm on screen (or 895Nm for the GT 63).

Nice to know where I can find my true fellow AMG lovers. With love from South Africa 👋🏾

Great video, are you planning to do a follow up video on the reliability of the M177 now that it has been out for almost 10 years or a comparison vs the M157 being they are both turbocharged.

honestly best AMG channel hands down

I was just watching your video of the m157 and thinking if you had made a video about the 4.0 but I did not see.What a day love your videos

I learned a lot from this informative video ;) --2013 SL 63 owner.

AMG GT-R is really fun to drive.

Your videos are pure brilliance. Keep up the great work.

Good research and very well put together into a video. It will be interesting to see how these engines will perform in the future

Hurts my heart to know that this might be the last V-8 glad I got my M156 for now

Great video, mate! Well done! I'm driving the M177 LS2 in an E63s and while it is a great engine with mind blowing performance, I'm still missing the pure and clear V8 rumble + brutal sounds coming out of the sport exhaust in the M157 engines - as we all know - there's "no replacement for displacement". I can also confirm the rough idling on the M177. Not sure what to do besides replacing the spark plugs and ignition coils, but I can live with it. :) So sad that these amazing engines will become history soon...

I watched this video to see if there were any problems with the hot-v setup over time (like with BMW's N63). I didn't think having the turbos in that position was good for seals and gaskets. So far MB looks to have got it right in terms of reliability.

Thank you for giving some real info, when I did a c63 e63 compare search, all i got was youtube trash drag racing and lazy eyed word salad about subjective things in the cars.

Great informative video... every day is a school day.

You just mixed the 1st seen application as the M178 came before the M177. But other than that great video 🤟🏿

Nice video. RIP the V8.

Can you make a video about c63/s w205 issues and common problems?

Very good your video!!! my question is, the block of the m177 and m178 are the same?

Chain driven water pump. Sounds fun.

do a M133 video

Do you like the m157/m278 over this motor or this one way better?

do a video about m117/m119/m100 amg engine

Can you make a comparison of the M177/78 vs Volkswagen/Audi's 4.0 TFSI

Thinking about upgrading from my 2015 Cls 63 to a 2016/2017 AMG GT/S. Is the M178 More or less reliable than an M157 if both are stock and regularly maintained? I’m a little bit unsure of what to do as the AMG GT is a pretty car but I do really enjoy the M157 engine and sharp looks of my Cls. Not to mention that the car has been very reliable. do you think I’ll miss the M157 in terms of thrill and reliability by moving on into the GT ? Thanks!!

2 year update? How is this motor holding?

What is the firing order of the M177 and M178 engine?

May i know is the 2018 S63amg coupe C217 is M177 LS1 or LS2?

how about the m176 engine,is it from AMG?

Lots of trouble coming. Like the M278 preceding it. 1. Plastics with flimsy connectors buried in very hot places. 2. DI without PI will carbon up intake valves quickly. Cylinder deactivation and cam cover adhesive aging are upcoming problems. 3. All are buried under layers of stuff which breaks when you disassemble it. 4. MB shop rates and book times are punitive. In short. Consider avoiding German altogether if you have time and money constraints.

End of V8 Engines?😢

hey are there any AMG clubs in Vancouver ?

I have the LS1 in my 2016 c63s yet is has cylinder deactivation. The vid alludes cd became available on the LS2

Great video, very informative! My GLE AMG 63s SUV is phenomenal. Sadly, these stellar engines and vehicles are coming to an end as AMG is turning to 2.0 L & electrified engines for the future.

Its sad they’re moving away from these special engines

How long do I need to let this engine idle after driving to prevent engine/ turbo/ excessive oil damage/ degradation from occurring?

Ok what is the cheapest way to get your hands on a m177/176 basically a used Mercedes-benz which comes with a m177/176 that depreciates like a stone?

If possible, can you do a review of the SL 65 BLACK SERIES.

Great vid great engine, but it is a nightmare to work on😱

Nico rosberg at 0:48?

Doesn't the M177 make 630hp on the GT63s?

This engine may suit mass-production cars but exclusive hand-built supercars need more sound, more reliability. This is why classic American n/a V8 will live when these will soon be replaced by turbo V6 and even smaller hybrid engines.

The M177 also features a dry sump And with the M177 LS2 cylinder deactivation I'm not so sure about

Is it too risky to buy a used W205 C63?

What hp does a e63s 2013 make is it 518 or 577 or something else

Is the power difference between standard models and 'S' models simply a power limit induced on the non-S? There are lots of people offering cheap remaps up to the same horsepower of the S models and if there's no mechanical difference it seems like a good option

cHerVY Enjin name

Such a shame AMG has cut down the V12 and now the V8, 4 cylinders are souless

There’s so much to like about a hot V… !

I feel this engine doesn't have the same soul as the previous AMG V8s

I didn’t know Mercedes-Benz was still fucking with Chevy on there engine code. I thought they stopped this in the 00’s 😂😂😂

These things are just way to complicated. Used issues will destroy you.

Disgusting what they’re doing. Time for the,Extended warranty for the 2020 GLC63

Stupid fast engines!

With AMG it's not so much whether you can afford the car, but whether you can afford the maintenance. Typical German over-engineering.

I hope Mercedes will see significant drop in sales of their AMG 63 lines due to their shift towards a despicable 4 cylinder powertrain.
