Short of the RENNtech E7.4RS, you have the next best w210. I bet the 575 ponies under the hood keep things exciting! Nice ride!

So the EC light would stay on...An indie mechanic reset it and charged me $100 and the EC light turned off and then a few hours later the EC light turned on and stayed on permanently...
I looked up possible problems and replaced the evap temp sensor and then the AC worked for a few hours (EC light turned off) and then the EC light turned on and stayed on again...
I ran the test for errors and got this:
1-127
2-100
3-120
4-120
5-E
6-175
7-08
8-157
9-
E61-230
E61-241
E-FF
Any advice?
I'll post pics later...no pics on this computer. It's black though!

My car just hit 91K last week. I only drive 5 miles a day and 3 times a week.
So far it didn't let me down. For the last 6 months I did, new tires, new brakes/rotors, air filter and new battery. All the basic stuff so this car is really easy maintenance. Since I only drive 5 miles a day, I don't really care about MPG....... i only got 12MPG now
In 3 months, will change the spark plugs and tranny oil change.

You could always disconnect the battery method for free
that will defiantly reset the values of the AC and ECU. Armani

I've got both the snap on scanners. They don't work too well compared to MB's system. You'll have to connect to the fusebox. The OBDII port doesn't do anything when you scan these cars.

I still have mine. Drive it every day. Racked up close to 16k miles in the last 12 months. Hope to keep it for at least another 4 years. No problems over the last 12 months except for some minor problems with the air bladder seats. Need to do brakes soon though. BTW, I'm just at 94k miles now.

S213 E450 4Matic, W111 220SE - prior cars: 3x W212, W210 E55 AMG, W202 C43 AMG, W126 300SE
Thanks. There's actually another tectite car in my area too, but not kept as clean. I see it about once a year. Labor of love keeping it spotless...but I paid for it, so what the hell.
I should chime in, a little sheepishly, that the car has 52xxx miles on it. Not driven enough I know...but finding time to really take it out is not easy...I live close to work, and anyone around Seattle knows that 6 days a week, driving here is pretty crappy.
It goes in for B service Monday.

Anyway,I'm not an expert in tuning,but I've been hearing a lot of folks here installing an X-pipe. You can also do your headers Kleemann or AMS(see Kleemann vs AMS thread on this forum) and remove one of the cats for added power. It depends on your budget...
I'm sure other people here will help...
Good luck and let us know how it turned out!

Thanks for your reply, I am located in Auckland New Zealand so the car is a Euro spec E55, have been told it is an early delivery and probably one of the first to arrive here in NZ Back in 98. The X pipe sounds good (and so do the headers probably not affordable right now). These cars are not generally TINKERED with in any way down under, but I can see and want to release the amg hot-rod potential without spending thousands.

1st I thought it was tires and road noise, but I started noticing it on lots of different surfaces. Then maybe wheel bearings, but the noise should remain in 4th. Same thoughts on drive shaft/coupling/bearings, but I still haven't completely ruled those out. Possibly just an exhaust resonance? Worst case might be something in the transmission, but I think that is unlikely.
When the weather cools off here, I plan to have a look at many things on the car including the drive shaft/coupling/etc.

I've got that same issue. Sounds like a weird hum or resonance. I've been trying to troubleshoot it for 6 months. It doesn't do it if I downshift to 4th gear no matter how hard I try. Only in 5th gear, very light throttle. Either trying to maintain 60-65mph or passing through with gentle acceleration.

i only get it if i gently give it throttle between 60-70
I also thought it could be exhuast drone or somthing but it feels like I can feel the hum sort of vibrate on the floorboard but could just be my imagination .. I tried to record the sound on video with radio off windows closed but it wouldnt show up .
