c55's are prone to oil leaks near the heads if they were babied too much. Aside from that and minor electronic bugs they're pretty much problem free.

never had any issues with mine except i had to replace both of the sam modules but it was covered...

thanks guys do u know what the fix is for oil leaks near the heads thanks.

Sometimes oil will seep from around the valve cover gasket. I don't believe it is a serious problem as long as your oil level is fine. All that really needs to be done is just to replace these. A very simple fix. The C55s are generally pretty good as as far as reliability and maintenance....

+1

thank you all.

Famous issues with C55
1. Seat heaters.. I gave up on these.. Bottom part doesn't work.
2. CPS
3. A/C...
4. Oil / Transmission fluid leak: Seals were changed
5. Radio.. Sometime CD / Radio won't work.. After few hour, it goes back to normal. Weird huh?

Never heard of a vehicle developing problems if babied too much. That was priceless.

I guess the next owner of my C55 will have nothing to worry about.

On a serious note, if the prior owner did take it easy, is it just that the gaskets don't seal well due to not enough heat or something? Is that something that is common with any high performance car that isn't driven as intended?

the only leaks that come from the 113 are the valve covers gaskets and the breathers it is a cheep fix it can be fixed in about 1hr. i have never seen a 113 leak from the cyl head gasket
