Please look at this photo of a CLK 55 engine and tell me if there's something wrong
Hello,
Would appreciate some feedback from current owners of 209 CLK55. I'm about to purchase this 03 CLK 55. The car is generally in top condition, with only one strange(to me) exception, the engine bay.
As you can see from the photos, the engine does not seem to be mounted straight. Is it the engine, or engine cover? Is this normal or something to worry about?
If its the cover, can it be realigned? I understand that the airfilters are housed on the back engine cover hence, it sounds strange that the cover counld be mounted wrongly.
Would appreciate some feedback.
Thanks.
Regards,
P.

The cover is held on simply with 4 clips that pop onto 4 rubber knobs. The back center hooks into the air intake (just above MAF sensor). The cover pulls off with little effort. I believe that the cover is just not attached correctly. If you are planning to buy it and have been able to take these pics, you should be able to go back for another look. lift the front slightly to see if both of the fronts are popped in. By the looks of the pictures they are misaligned and one will not be opped on. If this is the case, the opposite rear is probably also not hooked. If this is so...pull the whole air filter cover off. To put back correctly, line up the the back of the filter over the air intake...press down. The rear 2 clips should pop on as you push down, then the front 2 need a little push and you're done. Takes 30 seconds to complete. If after this, it still looks like your pictures ...run away real fast!
