New E55 owner-

Hi all- Lurked for a bit before getting an '05 in silver the other day. I am looking at a "C" service in 2K miles. Car has warranty until August, anything I should have the dealer be sure is taken care of when I go in?

Wealth of info here, I appreciate all that contribute. If I can stay away from the "mod" threads I'll be OK.

I'll have some better pics when I get her right..............

Welcome and Congratulations, IMHO the E55 hold up pretty well considering the level of performance they exhibit. At the top of the W211 AMG page is a list of all the TSB that the W211s have, good place start looking for warranty items for the dealer to take care of.

hbr,

Looks like we have very similar cars - I have an '05 that comes out of warranty in August as well. Just did my C service, it's basically an old-school B service (which is the more expensive one). It's pretty much the last service before you come out of warranty.

Good luck,

Marcus

I don't know how many miles you have on the car, but almost every E55 needs to have the IC pump replaced. Search for threads on IC pump for more info. Also check for 50K service threads as they list a lot of things that you might want them to look at.

I would say the IC pump and supercharger clutch pack are the ones to make sure have been replaced.

They will probably be more inclined to do the IC pump upgrade but might balk at the SC clutch (I believe it was upgraded in 2006 MY). I brought the SC clutch pack up with them awhile back and they acted like I was from Mars. Good luck on both of those.

Like Yachtmaster mentioned print out the relevant TSB's and make sure you get in good with your SA. My 04 warranty runs out in August too and I've got to have them look at my AC...it doesn't turn on at times. Oh...make sure they do the fuel pump check. Do a search on the W211 for fuel leaks and you should find out more about it and the recall letter that was sent out.
