Whats wrong with my New AMG

PEARSON627 · 06-16-2009, 11:05 PM

Well I just got my 2006 CLS55 with 20k miles. I have to say, I think something is wrong with the car. It does not really feel fast to me at all. I see CLS55 on youtube burning rubber and doing donuts. My car cant burn rubber or even make the tires brake loose in a 90 degree turn when I floor it. I can sit at a light and floor it and the car just drive like nothing big. Ohhhhh yes I have the esp off.

Is it in sport mode? If not put it there?

PEARSON627 · 06-16-2009, 11:28 PM

yes, did it in S and in M hell even tried C...lol

deniska · 06-16-2009, 11:43 PM

Probably some kind of issue with the SC or the IC pump, pulley ect..

HouTxCLS55 · 06-16-2009, 11:45 PM

Sucks, get her fixed and smile ear to ear....

Just cause it says CLS55 in the back doesn't mean it can do all the tricks. Cause it could have been a 550 and lost the zero at the end. Check under the hood and make sure there is a supercharger if not then you bought the wrong car! J/k man either way it should do donuts add all the fun stuff take it and have it looked at. I have a CLS550 and it burns out and I have a E55 and it does super hard burn outs.

Well on my way to work this moring the check engine light came on. We put the computer on it here at the bodyshop and the codes read.
stored p202a and p2003
the current code is p0410 with is a secondary injection system malfunction.

The secondary air injection system is part of the emissions control system, and should be covered under the emissions warranty, and it will affect your power output. Good luck!

At first I thought the same thing Pearson ... I was having a heat soak issue and the ECU was reigning in the HP.

Felt like I was driving a V6.

Now I can floor it at 5mph and it lays 100 feet of rubber down.

PEARSON627 · 06-17-2009, 05:55 PM

WOW....I hate to say this..But I cant wait to take the car to the dealer..lol
I will be droping it off tomorrow and should have it back on Sat....
I just really really hope there is a problem. Becuase the car feels like the SC is off or something..
Also want to thank you guys for the input.

I have a dumb question.

Are we to assume that you test drove it before purchasing it?

I was thinking the same thing

PEARSON627 · 06-18-2009, 11:13 AM

No I didnt, I got it in another state 1100 miles away. I have driven a C63, S550 and a ML63 all much faster then my car.. The car fax showed the car at the dealer for check up 200 miles prior to me buying it.

Gondon · 06-18-2009, 02:02 PM

ROFL CLS500 Rebadged?

Anyway take it back to the place you bought it and get your $$ back, dont go and be eagger to spend more $$ at the dealers....

PEARSON627 · 06-18-2009, 02:06 PM

----UPDATE----
Dealership call & said the SC clutch is not engaging, so I was not getting any boost at all. Part will be in tomorrow morning and should have it back by the afternoon. I will give a update once I roast the tires for the 1st time.
all under factory warrenty

Good to hear ... Like I said. When I first got mine I was in the same boat thinking WTF??? This car aint sh!te.

Now I'm worried about my tire expenses.

When I bought mine , I test drove it ... and you could feel it was strong. But let's face it ... you don't do burn outs with the salesman in the car. (At least I don't

) So the heat soak issue I was having, which was shutting down the Kompressor, didn't rear it's ugly head until I had her alone and road her hard.

Max.H · 06-19-2009, 03:34 AM

Interesting story I want to share...

When I was in the market for a cls55. I test drove it and came to stop sign... I turned off the esp, and the salesman got nervous and said NO, NO you don't want to do that. I told him to relax, I need to make sure this puppy runs right. So, I slightly brake tq'd and nailed the gas pedal the car fishtailed and left a nice long trail of smoke!

The sales guy sat in silence then start laughing.

jikjak · 06-19-2009, 06:28 AM

the car should put a big smile on your face once u get it back!

PEARSON627 · 06-19-2009, 10:08 AM

----------UPDATE-------
ITs a sad day today.
I got a call from the dealer saying they had changed the clucth pully and that did not fix the problem. Now they think they found the problem and its the engine contral m. that is not working.. The biggest problem is that it has to be made for the car in Germany and will take up to 2 weeks. they dont have any in the US..

Bu-E63 · 06-19-2009, 11:02 AM

We also have that problem here in the UAE, so many ****ing dumb ass posers, They buy like S350s and CLS350s and go to the extent of putting the quad exhauts, badges front aprons and rims, the only way you can tell if its a AMG is by the sound or the brake calipers , this should go under impersonation or something lol

They think? Do they diagnose problems with a pair of dice?

PEARSON627 · 06-24-2009, 04:21 PM

JustPete · 06-24-2009, 06:18 PM

Having gone through something very similar I can completely empathize with your feelings here.
