- In this video, I give an in depth look as to how much it costed to run this 2003 Mercedes E55 AMG in the last year. I've had a few maintenance items that have needed to be addressed, such as the alarm siren module and the valve cover gaskets, but overall it hasn't been the so called Mercedes money-pit that people may describe them as.

Change the crankshaft position sensor too, 25$ from fcp euro. Saves getting stranded and walking home.
And its a good idea to replace the voltage regulator on the back of the alternator - brushes wear out and the car shuts off at the end.
Hi. Greetings from Ireland. Thanks for this update. Very helpful. 2006 CLS55K 49000 miles.Rear left airshock was dropping a bit if left for few days. Friendly Merc clinic diagnosed faulty level sensor front right. He reset it saying it was probably seized linkage. I've tried to lubricate it. Car doesnt seem to drop anymore on the rear strut.
I did the supercharger oil change. Notice slight difference in whine. Have gasket leak but nowhere near bad enough.
Also did the intercooler pump update. Car has way more power. Old one was almost seized.. Excellent performance. Pulls like a train. Change that Valeo rad. Kind regards Keep videos coming
Cool Vid. I suggest trying to buy parts from FCP Euro, as they have lifetime warranty. IDK if they will ship to canada though.
Sounds like your first year went really well. So either you did the minimum, or you bought the car in fantastic shape. I bought a 140k mile '04 that had quite a bit of deferred maintenance. All the little things add up quickly. Thanks for sharing
About how much u talking
@@korbinp590 I bought about $2500 worth of parts from FCP Euro and installed all of them myself, and I also paid a local shop a grand to do the rear main seal and trans servise. My car is literally 100% now and needs nothing.
@@TheFeinspa that’s not too bad
nice
What would be a cost of a well kept 02-03 E55 AMG? Great videos!
12k
You’d be able to get a beat up one for as low as 6k but a nice would at least be 12k or more.
@@insayn7995 Thanks
Fuel average?
my e55 suspension is stuck on highest height with a visit workshop display. any ideas
@@potcommitted5355 thanks man I'll check those
Hey I'm curious on how much you pay for insurance and which shop did the PPI? I'm looking into buying one (E55)
I've had an E55 for a few years. I got my PPI done and my favorite MB dealer. Insurance is mostly cheap. Biggest expense is gas and maintenance. Either way, it's definitely cheaper if you DIY and even cheaper if you get parts at fcp euro. On it's worst year this car costed me around 6k but on average costs me 1500 per year. Now I have a well sorted, fast and reliable ride. Best car ever, you won't be disappointed.
@@WookieMonster01 thats nothing, i am pooking to buy one.
I bought a 05 in excellent shape , new rubber has cls63 wheels ... Beautiful example .23,750 .00 silver n black . Raiders Car .
Dude i read the discription....The w211 has never been a money pit. People who didnt care for them started these roumers. This is a fantastic car! You know better!!!
oleshka True , I bought an 05 in immaculate condition , its awesome beast !!
I'd like to know wheels' spec and brandname!! looks like BBS.
More content. E55
why u dont have your own? lol
Im sure is effortlessly cruises at 280km/h
if you don't mind buying used spare parts its much cheaper than that to maintain
Dude. I get 13L per 100km in town driving and down to 9L on the highway. With a full boot of luggage and two passengers I averaged 10.7L per 100km.
That's really good for an E55. Is where you drive mostly flat?
@@WestVanGarage yes mostly, on the 10.7 figure I was driving conservatively when I could but I managed 780km with fuel left to spare. That was one trip so mostly open road across country with some hills thrown in. Day to day around my region is 90% flat though. I have had it down to 9.2L but I was by myself, the figure was still dropping but climbed back up to normal once I got to the corners and hills before the beach. Regardless, with that much power and torque were getting good mileage
How did you like your e55 repairs wise?
@Ace Race my car has relatively high mileage, I've done 50 thousand kms in it since I bought it and is now at 186000kms. I have done rear drive suaft coupling, steering angle sensor, and numerous services. I service the car/engine myself but because it is stock I get the repairs done by a Mercedes dealership. Gearbox and diff have been done too. All in all I think it's pretty good. It's had a few electrical issues along the way bit haven't bothered me so just living with them until time comes to sell. These include faulty door handle keyless entry buttons and electric bolster fuse blown
@@Dipshtnick92 oh that’s amazing not bad at all definitely worth a car of this performance, I’m thinking about buying an estate car from my friend which is a very clean E55 2005 so I may bite the bullet if I can get it cheap enough
Wow are you crazy talking about that oil change 😳 oh well it's your money 💰 🤑 💸
7,000 km in a year is nothing. I do about 56,000 km a year, I’d like to know how the car would have faired in that case
This isn’t the car for you with that kind of mileage.
@@TheJhicks0506 why not? There was a 402k mile (643,000 km) E55 amg featured on Legit Street Cars and it performed beautifully. So again why isnt this the car for me with that kind of mileage? Considering the M113K is a really stout engine, I would convert the air suspension to coil overs, and would work on the car mostly my self. So please entertain me.
leutrim topalli if what you care about is a reliable, cheap to own car and you put that many km on it per year then it just isn’t right. If you don’t care about having to fix things often, go for it.
@@TheJhicks0506 I mean, I still have my Jetta GLI. I could potentially keep it and have 2 cars just in case. I never said it was cheap and reliable, usually those things dont go together with a high performance car but I also think you’re overplaying the whole german engineering thing as if it’s going to need a major service every 5,000 miles. That’s seriously annoying because these cards don’t typically have that many problems aside from the major items. Water pump etc i could do my self along with tensioners.. it’s just annoying because people who dont know how to work on cars think everything is sooo expensive to fix
@@IAmLeutrimTopalli what coilovers would you use? Bc racing with no fabrication or a custom job?
Did you just say coilovers???? Blasphemy
🗣FK THIS CAR 🚗 🤣🤣🤣🤣
