    Dipstick showing less every time you dip it

    Ok so I did as suggested. Took it for a drive, let it cool down for 5 mins and then dipped the oil. 140mm(Jesus...) electronic dipstick says 7.5L on diagnostic, oil checker says reduce oil level (ermm?) Thought I’ll add a litre then. Topped up a litre. Started the car for a minute or 2, turned...

    Dipstick showing less every time you dip it

    Cool! I’ve got slightly leaky rockets, which I’m trying to get around to doing. As the sensor seems to vary on whether I’ve got too little or too much oil I struggle to believe it! I’ll do that later and let you know what happens! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dipstick showing less every time you dip it

    Ok maybe I was wrong with it “bottoming out”. You feel it get stuck, and a gentle nudge pushes it through (I guess I shouldn’t be doing that then!!) So it sounds like this is correct behaviour? I should only Dip the car once, after it’s run, and stopped for 5 minutes? And if I wanna dip it...

    Dipstick showing less every time you dip it

    Haha this dipstick bottoms out at the bottom of the pan. It’s a cheap copy of the factory tool they use Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dipstick showing less every time you dip it

    Morning all, I have a W219 CLS55 AMG. I’ve got issues with the onboard electric oil level sensor (I basically don’t trust it!) So I bought a dipstick on eBay. When I dip it, it shows what I want it to show 175mmish. When I then dip it again straight after, it shows 20mm or so less? And then...

    CLS55 dipstick tube

    Morning all, I've got a 06 CLS55. I dont trust the oil level sensor too much so decided to buy a dipstick from Mercedes. I can't seem to find where it goes? I thought originally it goes in the tube with the red cap, at the top of the engine by the throttle body, but the tube bends down towards...

    CLS55 wheels

    I'm looking at some CLS63 wheels on eBay, I'm wondering will they fit fine on my CLS55? I've got spacers on the rear 20mm! Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CLS55 & MO tires

    Afternoon all! CLS55s and tires... Do the CLS' NEED to have MO approved tires? The cost isn't an issue, it just seems to be more restrictive on what tires are available with the markings. The tires on it are 285/35/18 (not standard CLS wheels but they are AMG) Also, does anyone know what...

    CLS55/55k buying advice

    Thanks ever so much guys!! Really appreciate that! A couple of more questions I have thought of, once I do have one and the modifying bug hits! Lowering: What's the 'best' option? I see some people do it via STAR, and some via links. What's safest/most reliable? Harmon Kardon? I quite like a...

    CLS55/55k buying advice

    Morning all! In the next month or 2 I want to buy a CLS55. I currently own a C5 RS6, so I know all about high maintenance costs :( I have a few questions I want to ask, as it seems I can't find much when I've searched (good thing perhaps?) Common things to check for. I know to check the...
