Timster

Hi Guys,
I need some help.
I am now having problems measuring the oil level in my 2002 CLK55 AMG. I believe the dipstick was moved/modified to accommodate the S/C. It no longer reads accurately.
Part of the installation procedure for the S/C I had installed was to relocate the dipstick.

I had the oil changed the very next day after the S/C was removed. Monday I was doing routine cleaning, and decided to check the oil level. It was low so I added a quart. It was still low so I added another quart. I left it at ½ a quart low. Well now I get a message that the oil level is too high. But the dipstick reads ½ quart low.

I need to get a picture of the engine bay of a 2002 CLK55 AMG. Specifically I need a close up picture of the right (Passenger side) front section. (From the center of the engine to the right header),

I need to verify the location of the dipstick.
Also need to know the length of the dipstick. If some one could measure there dipstick from the end to the base/sealing surface of the pull handle. (I’m serious here, I don’t need any personal information)

I need this really soon so I can verify that the dipstick is accurate before I blow a seal due to over filling.

Thanks in advance,
Tim

Great shot!
If you get time could I get the same thing from the front?
There is an aluminum bracket on the front of the engine that holds a sensor it's right next to the Dipstick.
Your dipstick does look like it's in a different location than mine.
Thank you for posting the pic,
Tim

That's great thank you!
I have forwarded this information to HPS.
Now I need to see if they will follow up on it and put my car back the way it is suppose to be.
I really appreciate all the effort,
Thanks a bunch,
Tim

CLK 69,
Thanks again for all your help.
I have yet to hear from HPS. In the mean time I bought a hand pump and pumped out the excess oil. Even though I truely do not went away.
Thanks again,
Tim

After reading all this garbage on theses forums I had to make a responds. The majority of these statements are lies and false rumors made from someone who wanted something for free.

I’m a forty-year-old African American male who accompanied an hps representative in delivering timster Clk 55 to him in Rocklin California.

Here are my accounts as third party of timster CLK55.

First of all, timster had HPS supercharger e430 for a week. While they finished his clk55. If he had any problems with the e430. At that time why didn’t he bring it to hps attention. Kind of nice for a company to give him a car huh?

My personal feeling after driving Tim’s clk55 for over 700 miles, There was nothing wrong with it. No lost of horsepower under heavy boost or on an incline road conditions. Passing other vehicles no hesitation or engine lag. I was very impressed by the way the car handles itself and how supercharger kicked in.

After this experience and reading these post my conclusion is the following.

Timster made false statements in hope of getting a discount or the entire system for free. I’ve been in sales for over 20 years and I see these types of scam artists all the time. Wanting something for free.

Think about it, why would timster post a dyno graph that is false? In hopes to show hps system does not work. Please timster, why don’t you be honest with everyone on this forum and tell people the truth. You’re a scam, sitting home all day and look for new companies like hps to take advantage of. I would love for you tell your side. Cause I bet hps would sue you for slander. I just read on the forum hps is going to post raw data for a current clk55 car. If those numbers show true numbers. What can you say?

I have driven timster CLK55 supercharger system and if anyone has any questions or comments contact me.

PS. I do not work for HPS.

I agree that there is definitely a scam, but I don't think Timster is to blame...

I fail to see how that is in any way associated with what is being discussed here but thanks for sharing

Wow, you sound like someone who just had to buy back a product that they sold to a customer that did not work

Mrdrew.. I don't understand, just what is it Tim got for nothing? How can you compare a SC 430 to a 55 and maybe Tim did not go out and run the **** out of your car, so how would he know how it really performed? WE on this forum know what Tim got for nothing!!

Petie

it seems you do work for HPS, but good try anyway, youve posted this exact message in 4 different places, the least you could do was write something different so that it pertains to what is being discussed here.....

A) Other posters are bringing up race because you made the point of identifying your age and race. What was the point?

B) We're not friends of Timster and don't have any incentive to take his side. Most members of this forum were simply seeking forthright reponses from HPS... which never came.

C) HPS might come out with dynos, but (i) they haven't as of yet, and (ii) they have already ruined their credibility on this forum.

D) Your argument about Tim trying to scam HPS and get something for free (or at a discount) dosen't even make any sense.

E) You might have no affiliation with HPS, however, that just makes your position against Tim sound completely ridiculous and motivated by personal issues.

F) We're not insulting you... we're just telling the truth.

G) If there is anybody who deserves an HPS, it's you.

I would be seriously POed if someone screwed up my $60K+ car I worked hard to earn. Wouldn't you Mr Drew?

The really problem here is HPS has yet to admit that they sold a defective system, and yes it does occasionally happen. I'm sure this is just 1 out of 100s of HPS chargers that has had this problem, and the others work great, but HPS needs to take care of their customers in order to help spread positive word of mouth, but instead put all the blame solely on the buyer with the help of their golpher.

100s of MB forum readers/posters have read this story on many different forums, and this has done nothing but hurt HPS's rep.

I seriously doubt HPS wants this story passed onto other forums like BMW, Lexus, Hondas, etc so Mr Drew, please shut yo trap before you cause more harm.
