400HP55

Hi all,
I am new to this forum.
I just purchased a 2001 CLK55 AMG with 74000 miles. It all black with black interior. Came with all records and almost in perfect condition. Running good with no serious problems! Outstanding car. It did has some Mass Airflow Sensor problems. I had it replaced with a new one. They said that the O2 sensor was going bad to =/. This typicall?

Anyhow,

Any responces welcome!

Glad to be a part of the forums!

Welcome aboard. MAF problems are not unusual, but in general our cars are solid.

Clk55 is a great car. Fast,reliable,lux amenities for the price its a bargain. My 02 Clk55 has 51k miles. In couple days picking up a 09 C63 still keeping the Clk55.

Fine choice of car.

Well done for finding a clean one too.

I went looking for a CLK55 last year but couldn't find ANY in the condition I was looking for.

Rashman

I've had my 2001 CLK55 for three months now, and it's been a joy. Quite an upgrade from a 1998 Grand Am lol.

Take care of her, and enjoy that engine. It's my favorite part.

Thanks guys. I live around the Fresno area! Ok I'll look into that exhaust. Could you tell the difference when you put it on? What else can I do to increase horsepower??

It needs controll arm bushings - where can I get these for cheap and can I put them in myself??

Thanks guys!

I'll post pics asap!

As a fellow black/black W208 owner ... welcome and beautiful car of course

But ... oh dear ... I am so not feeling those non-AMG chrome wheels

Yiannh

If you dont mind me asking what did you pick the car up for?

M-bENZ

Are you the one who just raced the 350Z (modded) ? lol....nice kill.

Andy

400HP55

I picked her up for 10.5.

I have the stock AMG rims, who votes I put those on???

Ya that was me who stomped out that 350z ego - I should have done it in REVERSE!! Oooooo!!!

AMS Performance

Put the AMG wheels on and sell those rims for cash, put cash towards upgrading the car. You should pick up a bit of acceleration alone just from taking those really heavy wheels off the car.

Nay.........keep the wheels, they made the car look so much better. Stock car, there are million of them on the road. You want to stand out, don't you? Btw, when did wheels are not consider "Upgrade"?
