Hi. I have a C55 AMG. regarding the service, what is the best time to service it. After 12 months from when it was last serviced, x,000 miles from the last service, or when the service countdown on the dashboard tells me it needs a service? It has a full MB dealer service history, so I don't...

I considered a plan for my 2005 C55 AMG. Mainly because I want to keep the full MB dealer service history it currently has. In the end, I created a new online savings account via my bank and pay a decent amount into that each month. So this means I earn the interest on it, not MB, and if the...

Perfect thanks guys. So do I take it the dipstick doesn't stay in situ then like engine ones do, and is only inserted for checking as you describe? Many thanks Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Hi. Anybody know if it is possible to check the transmission oil level from within the engine bay? Hoping it has a dipstick hidden under there somewhere to save getting it checked by a dealer on a car lift. Cheers. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Looking to be able to hear a little bit more from that lovely V8 so took my car to my local exhaust centre for a chat. I didn't want to remove the secondary cats so got a quote of £70 to remove the middle box and replace with a section of stainless steel pipe. Thing is, he reckoned it wouldn't...

Autotrader rather than eBay. But blimey. How much? Mercedes-Benz C Class 5.4 C55 AMG 4dr

Finally. A weekend day of light and no rain. I discovered I had been a Muppet and the 12v feed I picked up from my Command was permanent after all. I just cocked up and switched the + and - around on my fused extension! Reversed and all working fine now. Embarrassed to say that I originally...

Well, in my C, I have had a thumb up from a Corsa chav and an appreciative nod from a Clio or Saxo type thing driver still in short trousers, so it must be true. Older drivers look right through me. I am 51 though, so not sure what category of "old man" I fall into myself. Sent from my LG-H815...

Yeh I think you are right. I managed to locate a wiring diagram and cant see a permanent live. The one I used says 12v (switched). Never mind. I can use that as ACC :-) Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Very good point thanks. And easier to get at. Cheers ;-) Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Hi. Today I needed to find a permanent 12v feed for an accessory in my car. So I stripped everything out that I needed to in order to remove the head unit. Using my multimeter, I found a 12v feed on the back which was red with a stripe. Used it and put everything back together again. However, it...

Hey I think you are right. I had the first opportunity to look today and saw a couple of small oil drops on the top of the right hand manifold (looking from the front of the engine bay). Not a huge amount though. Cheers :-) Sent from my Lenovo TAB S8-50F using Tapatalk

Well I love mine. Sure its got some quirks and a couple of minor issues, but I like the way its got the ability to look like a goldfish, but bite like a shark when prodded. It's not shouting and screaming look at me I am a beast, but can make an imposing impression when I command it to. Suits...

Whenever I log onto autotrader, because it knows what car I own (a 2005 C55), it tells me every time that it is worth £5,740. I am hoping it is because it does not know any better !!

Looks really nice. Mercedes C55 AMG - Immaculate, beautifully built muscle-bound small estate! | eBay

Hey. I keep getting an oily whiff in the cabin of my car. C55 AMG W203. Not always, but enough to warrant me putting an air freshener in. Is this normal for these? It runs fine, no unusual noises or knocking, and no sign of leaks on my drive. Am I just being paranoid? Not overly bothered if its...

How do you go about enrolling for this (as it is free!)? Mine is 10 years old but has a full MB dealer service history. Sent from my Lenovo TAB S8-50F using Tapatalk

Blimey. 100,000 more miles than mine for same year car. Does it still run smoothly? Just wondering what the engine life might be on mine, or when major bits need seeing to. Cheers. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I bought canbus led bulbs for my C55 reverse lamps, and both caused an error message. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
