CLS 63 AMG (2007)
These are my first few questions;
(I have embedded some Photos below)
1. How do I find out the exact body model ? Is it W219 or C219 ? Or something else? (this is for ordering accessories off AliExpress and Other similar Sites)
2. When cold starting in the morning - the A/C starts with blowing hot air, and gradually after 1 minute it turns cold. Also, while driving sometimes the A/C loses the cooling ability and just blows air. Needs a few mins to keep it off and then turning it on again to get cold air again.
3. Any owners who has mounted Mobile Phone holders for Navigation - How have you done it? Since the glass gets too hot (Dubai Weather) the suctions cups wont stay sticked on the windshield. The top layer is leather and I feel bad to stick anything on it.
4. Her previous owner had changed the headunit to a certain DynaVin Unit. Is there anyway I can get a guide to upgrade the firmware of it? I was even unable to find it's model - as it says only Dynavin Platform.
5. Does anyone have experience with using LiquiMolly Instead of Mobil1 ? It's a bit hard to get Mobil1 here.
6. The car was idle for a while, but owned by a single owner for the last 15 years. As basic due diligence, I changed Engine Oil and Filter, Swapped the Coolant, Changed Spark Plugs, and changed two worn out tyres. Gonna change the Engine Drive belt as well, since I noticed a few cracks. Anything else you'll suggest ?
Thank you and much appreciated for your time.
The Oil FIlter I've Used

Coolant I've used

Welcome to the forum. Your base modle is 219.377. Since the 219 is based on the E Class 211 platform (pretty much all crosses over but the sheet metal) most CLS 63 AMG owners spend most of their time and ask their questions over on the E Class forum here: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg-81/
