2005 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG

9 CommentsPosted as: ClearPOST COMMENT August 23rd, 2023 at 6:14pm ESTStatic50 (145) 0@thphon My mechanic worked at the dealer in New Orleans for several years. He’s outstanding. He said they never could figure out what was causing it to intermittently go out, other than some kind of radar or radio transmitter somewhere nearby that disables it. I just drove it southbound on the causeway to New Orleans and it gets disabled within two miles upon entering the bridge. The bizarre thing is that it works perfectly northbound from New Orleans to the north shore and the span is maybe 50 feet away from the southbound lanes! Crazy. I just got here and saw RNM on this beautiful CL. I hope they can get a deal done.

I owned briefly a 07 CL600 and had the improved distronic that can get to a full stop and accelerate again. You know, what you are describing happened to me all the time with the distronic from the CL600 and since the older version worked always perfect for me (besides the limitations by design, of course) I was convinced the system was busted on my CL600. So I wonder if the distronic on your C215 isn't busted as wellAugust 23rd, 2023 at 3:46pm ESTStatic50 (145) 0@thphon I also have a 2008 CL600 and a 2009 S600, both with Distronic and it is much improved over any W220 or 215 like this. It was upgraded with the W221/216 series without nearly any issues. Not only my opinion but others that have had it, so it’s your call. I’m just sharing my experiences. I’m getting ready to drive it across the Causeway bridge across Lake Pontchartrain and the Distronic will become disabled within the first two miles, guaranteed!August 23rd, 2023 at 3:17pm ESTthphon (0) 0@Static50 oh you had a bad experience with it? I had it in a 07 SL550 and loved it!August 23rd, 2023 at 2:07pm ESTStatic50 (145) 0@thphon If you’re considering this car, the lack of Distronic is a positive. It’s very unreliable in this generation. I have an 05 S600 with it and hate it. Interference shuts it down regularly and the car must be turned off to reset it.August 23rd, 2023 at 4:58am EST$7,305 bid placed by @AlwaysOriginalAugust 22nd, 2023 at 8:44pm EST$7,055 bid placed by @AMGbelieverAugust 21st, 2023 at 2:27pm EST$6,555 bid placed by @AlwaysOriginalAugust 21st, 2023 at 12:38pm EST$6,305 bid placed by @Ranger902August 21st, 2023 at 2:00am EST$6,055 bid placed by @AMGbelieverAugust 18th, 2023 at 8:17pm ESTIlovebigtoys (10) 0How about the ABC? Any warning lights? Any sweating from the hydraulic suspension? Has the suspension been replaced? At the current age & Mileage this would normally be due.

The following is what has been done to the car with in the last few months that we have owned car. Valve cover gasket, oil filler cap, Lower oil pan reseal and replace oil level sender, Blower Motor harness update, coolant hose connector, new radiator, cooling system flush w/new MB coolant, brake fluid flush, transmission service, engine oil service, front lower ball joints, front lower forward control arms(ball joints and control arms replaced this week after pics where taken so pictures of under car show old parts) front and rear brake disc, washer fluid reservoir seal, cap and a pump, (4) suspension accumulators, I suspension fluid filter and complete suspension fluid flush (no more ABC loud groaning noise in car)3rd brake light lens on trunk, 2 engine mounts and transmission mount. Car runs and drives smoothly, nice smooth shift between all gears. We went through this car as I was going to let my 19 year old son have it. I wanted it t be trouble free and as in good shape. But after driving it I have realized this is just way to much power for a 19 year old kid. I have purchased him a Bmw 4 cylinder turbo. Anymore questions about car please just ask and I will answer.
