It still exists, and I still have no idea where its leaking from. Otherwise, car is running absolutely perfectly

This is def something I will look at. I have heard about this from others. I'll keep you posted. However today, its not losing any coolant after a 240 mile drive. Weird.

Thanks mate. It has a new IC pump, only 3 months ago and MSL couldnt see any leak there

Thank you so much everyone. Well, would you Adam and Eve it. Today, I filled the coolant reservoir to precisely the required level and decided to go for a drive, the aim being to see how many miles it would be before I get a message on the cluster asking for more coolant. ie To try and get a...

Wow thats really interesting - he paid £15K for one not in the same condition as yours and yours has those two bodywork dents. I would say that if you get those dents sorted, def advertise it for £17K. Mine didnt have dents but had scratches, a bit of rusting on the rear arch and someone had...

DId you ever get to the bottom of either of these issues??

Im stuck folks. My CLS55 (M113K engine) is losing coolant but absolutely no idea where from. Its been to MSL for a pressure test. This confirmed a leak - they went all over it and they could not find the source of the leak. Coolant was drained and oil drained and both checked to see if there was...

I have the same car - same colour - Im almost finished with all the jobs it needed. When and if I do sell it, it will go on auction at Classic Cars for Sale | Car and Classic - Might be worth considering. By the way, whats the mileage and how much are you looking to sell it for??

HI Matt, I took it to MSL, very reputable company. They said to fit a BOSCH one, because its identical to OEM. But the problem still exists!!! Fuel pressure is good. The car ran 545bhp on MSL's dyno. No way it would do that with poor fuel pressure. So Im a bit stuck on this one!!

HI Matt, thanks for your reply. My main problem right now is it takes 4-5 attempts to start the car and get it stay at idle. It will start, idle for a few secs, then die. Repeat 4-5 times before it settles. Ive changed the crankshaft position sensor, that has made no diffeence. What do you think...

Mines weeping a bit too on my CLS55 - same engine as yours. Has yours caused any issues on starting the car, or any other issues?? Also, is it worth having the main rear seal changed? My inde says theyve seen countless rear main seal failures across all models of older mercs and their advice is...

Oh no I feel for you. What was the cause of the low compression if you dont mind me asking?

Did you ever get to the bottom of this OP??

So it may look like the rear main seal is leaking on my CLS55 My inde says just leave it, they also said they have seen countless failed rear main seals on Mercs across the whole range and ages. Trouble is, a diff Merc specialist I saw says that the oil is leaking on the crankshaft position...

Checked mine and it ends with 580. This might explain the more than surprising power figs I got with just a remap and x pipe. Pity the roads are so crud laden I cant use the power. Next winter Im gonna sorn it until April at least
