We identify your exact AMG engine, find the real cause and quote in writing before any work.
The same badge can hide very different engines depending on the year. Pick your model, then the year range, and see the engine code, its known weak spots and what we check first.

AMG care at a glance
AMG V8s are hand built in Affalterbach under the one man, one engine principle, yet each generation has a known weak spot. Knowing the generation tells us where to look first. It is the difference between a quick, cheap fix and a guessed engine rebuild.
M156, naturally aspirated
Cars from about 2007 to 2011 can suffer cylinder head bolt failure, which lets coolant into the combustion chamber. Early engines also wore camshaft lobes and lifters, which Mercedes acknowledged in a 2009 service bulletin.
Watch for: white smoke, rough idle, coolant loss, clatter on start up.
M157, twin turbo
Known for a rattle just after start up from the camshaft adjusters and chain tensioners. Oil can also leak from camshaft solenoids and wick up the wiring harness into control modules.
Watch for: rattle for a few seconds on start, oil around solenoids, warning lights.
M177 and M178, hot V turbos
A strong engine, but the turbos sit inside the V where heat builds. Turbo oil feed lines should be checked for seepage, and some G 63s show above normal oil use, with bore scoring the worst case at high mileage.
Watch for: oil level dropping between services, oil seepage near the turbos.
The G-Class is the most listed Mercedes in Dubai, and many are G 63s. On the 2019 on model with the 4.0 biturbo, the three things owners report most are oil use, jerky Speedshift gear changes and sagging heavy doors.
Each has a clear check. We measure oil use over a set distance, read gearbox adaptation data, and inspect the door hinges before anything gets replaced.
Measured properly, not guessed from one top up.
Many harsh shifts improve after a reset.
Heavy doors drop and stop closing cleanly.
The lesson from our G500 job.
G-Class issues from au7o owner reports, checked 13 October 2026.
Modern AMG V8s put the turbos inside the V for quick response. In Dubai summer traffic, that area runs extremely hot, so these four checks matter more here than almost anywhere.
Small seeps at the turbo oil lines can starve the turbo bearings. We check them at every service.
AMGs use several radiators and coolant circuits. Weak pumps or blocked fins show up first in July.
High heat breaks oil down faster. We use the Mercedes approved oil for your engine and follow the time limit.
Leaks or heat soak in the intercoolers rob power. We pressure test the charge air system on request.
Turbo oil line advice from the M177 parts guide and cooling notes from AutoScore C63 guide.
AMG brakes, tyres and gearboxes are built for big power, and they wear faster than on a normal Mercedes. Knowing exactly how much life is left saves you from replacing parts early, or too late.
Carbon ceramic discs in particular are expensive, so we measure their wear properly rather than replacing them on looks alone.
Measured on steel and carbon ceramic setups.
Heat ages it fast, especially after track days.
Wide tyres wear unevenly if alignment drifts.
Scan, adaptation data and a road test.
Some AMGs in Dubai have been remapped or modified. That is fine, as long as the cooling, brakes and gearbox can keep up. Remaps can also affect warranty cover, so check your terms first.
Tell us what has been done, and we check the parts that take the extra strain before they fail.

| Job | Guide (AED) | Source and notes |
|---|---|---|
| G 63 oil consumption repair | Quoted after inspection | Depends on the cause, from a leak fix up to engine work. |
| M156 head bolt repair | Quoted after pressure test | All head bolts and lifters replaced as a set. |
| M157 start up rattle | Quoted after inspection | Adjusters and tensioners checked first. |
| Turbo oil feed lines | Quoted by model | Cheaper than a turbo starved of oil. |
| Speedshift adaptation | Quoted after scan | Often software, not parts. |
| Pre-purchase inspection | Quoted by model | Confirmed in writing before you book, AMG checks take longer. |

Engines, G 63 oil use, heat, brakes, tuning and costs.
Ask on WhatsAppIt depends on the engine. The 6.2 M156 is known for head bolt failure and camshaft and lifter wear, the 5.5 M157 for a rattle after start up, and the 4.0 M177 for turbo oil line seepage and, on some G 63s, above normal oil use.
White smoke, a rough idle and coolant loss with no visible leak, because coolant gets into the combustion chamber. An overnight cooling system pressure test helps confirm it.
On the 5.5 M157, a rattle for a few seconds after start up usually comes from the camshaft adjusters or chain tensioners. On the older 6.2 M156, clatter on start up can mean camshaft and lifter wear. Both should be checked early.
The 4.0 biturbo M177 in the 2019 on G 63 is documented for above normal oil use. Causes range from external leaks to ring and bore wear in the worst cases. We measure consumption properly before quoting.
Harsh or jerky shifts on 9G and Speedshift gearboxes often improve after a scan and an adaptation reset. We read the gearbox data before suggesting any parts.
AMG repair costs in Dubai vary widely by engine and fault. A G 63 oil consumption repair can be anything from a simple leak fix to engine work, depending on the cause. We test first and give you a written quote.
Yes. Tell us what has been done and we check the cooling, turbos, gearbox and brakes that take the extra strain. Remaps can affect warranty cover, so check your terms first.
Yes, including the GT, GT S, GT C, GT R, Black Series and the four door GT 43, 53 and 63. High voltage work on the E Performance hybrid goes to the dealer.
Yes. We listen to the cold start, pressure test the cooling system, check oil use and turbo lines, look for signs of tuning, scan and road test the gearbox, then send a report with photos.
Mechanics in Al Quoz is an independent Mercedes-AMG workshop for engine health checks on M156, M157 and M177 V8s, cooling, turbo oil lines, Speedshift gearboxes, brakes and pre-purchase inspections on the G 63, C 63, E 63 and AMG GT. You get a free inspection and a written quote first. Warranty and recall work stays with Gargash Enterprises, the official dealer in Dubai.
A G 63 from 2012 to 2018 uses the 5.5 litre M157 biturbo V8, and the 2019 on model uses the 4.0 litre M177 biturbo V8 with its turbos inside the V. We confirm the exact engine from the VIN before quoting any work.
Modern AMG V8s put the turbos inside the V, so heat builds fast in summer traffic. Weak coolant pumps, blocked radiator fins, intercooler heat soak or seeping turbo oil lines are the usual causes, so we check the cooling and charge air systems before replacing parts.
Send the model, year and what you notice. We inspect free of charge and give you a written quote before any work starts.
