New owner of a CLS55 AMG.. how to clear "service D" indicator on my dash?

alleyezonmyvr4 · 10-16-2008, 06:43 PM

Hello all,

For starters, I am new to this forum- so please be gentle

I am a new owner of a white/tan 2006 CLS55 AMG.. what an amazing machine! Only 20,000 miles, and I purchased her from the original owner. It's got a pulley upgrade and some ECU tuning done to it already, so it's even more fun than a stock CLS55

Everything is great, but this "service D" indicator on my dash is really bugging me.

How do I clear this code? I just changed the oil myself (5w40 Mobil 1, MBZ oil filter, and replaced both drain plugs/copper washers), along with inspecting everything else on the vehicle- everything looks great.

Could someone post up a DIY on how to clear the "service D exceeded by XXXX miles" on my dash?

Thanks in advance!

-Allen

Congrats! Nice color combo! You can reset the service by the following link....Is it true you can't reset service indicators on 06 CLS55?? Go to post #6.

Enjoy your Beast.

You are the MAN!

I called my local MBZ dealership earlier today, they said it would take 30 minutes to 1 hour, and would cost $100 to clear the code. I thought that was ridiculous.. so I posted my issue here. All it took was 30 seconds!

Thanks again.

BTW, if anyone is wondering, I picked her up for $46,000. The original asking price was $58,000... but I did quite a bit of negotiation. Money talks!

$ickAMG · 10-16-2008, 09:42 PM

46000 with only 20k miles?!?! WOW!!! I'm screwed if I ever want to sell mine.

Probably because a lot of dealers are hurting right now.

Congrats Allen.

ditto for me too.

Do yourself a favor and change out your amber front turn lenses to white (available on ebay).

thanks for all the kind welcomes- so far, this forum seems great.

m_berman- I searched on EBAY, but found nothing. Could you possibly direct me to a link where I could pick up a hair of white lenses? The orange really is an eye sore to me too

I bought the car from a private party. The dealers that had similar cars (year, mileage, color combo, etc..) were selling in the $60,000 range

I dont have a link or anything, but they're known as "stealth" bulbs. Good luck and congrats on the car. Do you mind posting more pics of the interior? I havent seen that wood before. Thanks

nice deal on the car! I am looking for one myself (silver w/ tan interior, kind of hard to find I guess for a good price at that)

Did you purchase from a dealer or a private individual? And if a dealer, was it a benz dealer?

Good luck mercedes actually advises you not to order silver with tan. Unless this was a special order car it will be hard to come by.

Wow, that's the car my friend just sold. Congratulation on your purchase and believe me you got a deal of the year. My friend one who sold that car still talks about it everyday... He really misses her...

cruzinquick · 10-22-2008, 08:42 PM

Congrats on a beautiful car. I'm not one for light interiors, but that combo is perfect.

Thanks for the kind words

Seems like the more research I do on the forums and on the web, along with hearing info from various dealerships and sellers- I guess this was truly an amazing deal.

The previous owner really took great care of this car, and I look forward to doing the same for years to come.

The front amber turn lenses are going to be replaced very very soon- thanks again for the link and for that tip!

Really? I didn't know that. I wonder why they don't "advise" to order silver w/ tan? Is it harder at re-sale?

For me, tan interiors make the car look roomy and spacious...and along with a nice wood trim creates a nice soothing environment.

Black exterior is just hard to keep clean for me...and it looks awful if it's not clean. Otherwise I do like the black exterior/tan interior combination.
