CLS 55 AMG ID document

[JeremyC]

Hi there,

I think this post is in the right part of the forum - if not, would someone please let me know - gently.

Have just swapped a 2005 CLS 500 for a 55-plate CLS 55 AMG - have only just got around to this post because - with the onset of winter (early morning frost) and salt slime all over the damn place, I've been far too busy enjoying myself keeping the thing in a straight line on the way to work http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/banana.gif -
So the question is - with the CLS 500, I had a document giving the exact details of what was fitted to the car, options etc. etc. With the AMG, I don't have that - even the DVLA reg doc says engine number "Unknown"
Is this normal for AMGs? - there's a sticker on top of the engine saying it was hand crafted by Mike Thomas (may his tribe increase!), but that's all.
Would any other AMG owners of cars of this period care to comment?

You need the info written on the datacard.
If you get your vin# and post it on the following thread with a request for the datacard info, someone with access to the ECP should find it for you.

Strange there is no engine no for your AMG on the V5

I agree with AMGeed, you should have something mentioned on your V5 document and especially the engine number.

my V5 has the engine number, same on all my previous AMG cars.
