2006 CLS55 AMG - Oil Mixing ?? PLEASE HELP
I would like to say hello for everyone in the forum as I am new member!!!
Before one week I bought this amazing machine CLS55 AMG MY2006 American Specs with 48000km.
At the same time I visit the garage to make a good service for the car as used car, that time we open the Oil Cap and we saw the color of the oil was like white but the car Driving Perfectly without increase temprature.
The technicians told me that propably is a big problem from the engine and I have to return back the car, I visit another workshop and they check it again, that time the oil cap was normal, they told me that propably something like humidity it was and now its gone.
After that I change oil MOBIL 1 0w-40, filters and so on.
Again after 2-3 days CHECK COOLANT message coming on the screen, I check the level it was down and I open the Oil Cap and Again the same thing, I went to the garage and he told me that we have to open the front side of the engine to change the rubber of Water Income & Oil income, he did that and the rubbers was really destroyed, then I put new oil and coolant again.
After 2-3 days same story (the car is driving perfectly and there is no oil in the water tank!!!), that garage told me should change the Gaskets but I don't trust him and I drop the car to another garage specialist for AMG and they told me I don't have to worry.......
PLEASE I NEED YOUR ADVICES AND IF SOMEBODY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE!!!
THANKS & Regards

hey man, thanks for your reply and your interest. I have the same thinking me and my engineer. They only think that I am afraid is that the car every 2-3 days showing the message "CHECK COOLANT" and when I am checking the coolant bottle the water become down and after that I am opening the OIL CAP and the oil behind the OIL CAP is white color. :S

What you did after that for fixing??
This white foam was every time you were checking the oil cap?
Thanks and sorry for those many questions!

Try posting this in the w211 amg forum. There are a lot of guys that know these engines inside and out over there and there is a lot more activity over there. We have the same engines as their cars do.

Sounds like a head gasket. You should do a cooling system pressure test.
Check the oil dip stick. The clue to look for when you check your motor oil dip stick is a white or gray substance on your dip stick with the oil.
Check your exhaust while idling or Look in the rear view mirror as you drive. Is the car emitting white steam? Does it smell different from normal?
Hope this helps.

I think if it was head gasket the car will not driving well (drives like rocket) and propably the temprature will be high (its normall).
How I will do cooling system pressure test (By RS232??)??
The oil dip stick is that one under the engine which gives you the oil level? (I already change it!) The oil color is normal, only when the message "CHECK COOLANT" is coming and the water level become less after I check the Oil Cap and the oil color is white!
From the Exhaust is not coming any white color only when I am speeding inside the cabin is smelling oil as you know.

Replace your radiator cap with one that has a pressure gauge & a pump so that you can add pressure to your radiator.About 25PSI. let it sit over night & if leaks down then you know you have a leak some where... In your case maybe a head gasket. Here's one on Amazon:

Or bring it to MB Service.*

Also it should be noted that you'll get a white/yellowish sludge type substance on the inside of your oil cap if you go for several short trips and do not let the car get up to operating temp. If the car seems to be running fine and you go for a lot of short trips, I wouldn't be worried. Clean off the cap and check it periodically.
