C32 AMG, 05 Evo, 10 CTSV
New to me 2002 C32 AMG :)
Hey guys, just got a C32 the other night, my family has had 2 benz' growing up, and ive had several brands of cars, never actually owned a Benz myself, though I have owned 2 bmws in the past.
Im fairly mechanically savvy as I do most of the work myself and I have a lift in my garage. I currently have a 2010 CTSV, 05 Evo, 01 IS300, and a 2010 RDX in the stable
Car has 122k, little rough on the edges as I got it for $3600, clean title
Got it from a guy who bought it 2 months ago, then he decided he was gonna move to Hawaii to utilize some property he has there, he has been fixing and maintaining the car since he got it since the previous owner didnt do ****.
New alternator and battery, but the battery died the next day, go figure, did researched, said it might be the seat modules, Ive unplugged the modules and put it on a charger, so after 1 or 2 days if the battery is still alive, then it is safe to say it is the seats lol
Needs new brakes as the light came on driving home figure again
Discovered a weird thing when we start the car with the mercedes logo facing the steering column the gauges dont work and sometimes the driver seat will have a mind of its own, as the steering wheel and seat moved towards each other trying to crush me lol, but if we flip the key other way, everything works normal, I have no idea what the issue is here, my only guess is the key itself.
Planning on fixing the oil filter housing leak (so bmw status there), replacing the conductor plate, oil change, brake pads, the quick 5 minute seat connector fix, dif fluid change, and IC pump in the next month or so.
Unsure if I want to do any performance mods, might just get a tune to remove the o2 sensor code cause the cats have been deleted, wife doesnt want me to as I poured way too much money into the Evo and CTSV, and she wont even let me touch the RDX (factory turbo) lol.
Ill have pics up a little later, just wanted to say hi.
