The Truth About My E55 AMG 4 Months Ownership

[@HeyboysGarage]

The fan I was taking about is the Secondary Air Injection pump not the main radiator fan* I noticed I said fan instead of the pump which has a fan in it that spins and sound like a fan*

[@AYoDrew32]

Watching this video WHILE sitting in an E55 😂

[@Superchargedtio]

The fan is supposed to keep going bro wtf 😂😂😂 it’s a e55 the engine cools itself for 3-6 mins after you power off the hellcat is also like this . Don’t damage your engine

[@HeyboysGarage]

You might have heard me wrong bro. It wasn’t the engine fan, it was the secondary air injection pump that vey loud and kicked on high. Nothing to do with the engine or engine oil cooler fan or fan. 🤘🏾

[@Superchargedtio]

@ ohhhh I understand

[@uzzle21]

the color on this car is just amazing. everything you did with it is exactly what im doing on mine. its OEM ++

[@HeyboysGarage]

I agree, I love the OEM++ mods on this platform. The car is so amazing I’m finding it hard to even start doing big performance modifications

[@kevingraham9054]

only use bosch alternators and u can get around pulling the radiator by removing upper radiator support and fan and leaning it forward.

[@HeyboysGarage]

Yep ended up getting a brand new Bosh alternator. But the problem was the BCM

[@zipazzz]

Funny enough, my CLS55 same problem -alternator. Got the smell as well. It was a loose terminal on the main battery in the back

[@zipazzz]

ended up burning out the alternator, but now back on the road as well

[@HeyboysGarage]

Wow, a loose terminal on the battery caused that?? Good to know I didn’t know that could cause that!

[@zipazzz]

Loose connection increases resistance, therefore loading the alternator and generating heat

[@HeyboysGarage]

@ I got my terminals tight

[@GGAky]

Are these engines bulletproof? Like last long

[@HeyboysGarage]

They last very long and tend to not have issues. Keep up with oil changes and maintenance when the engine asks for it and they will last

[@rock-oz7eg]

SAI system can be totally disabled through DAS system, I suggest you grab one, allows you to do all kind of crazy stuff.

[@HeyboysGarage]

I disabled mine with the launch elite Benz scanner. DAS will be a nice investment, gotta get it at some point soon

[@TheWaffleHouseTV]

I'm here because I'm in the market. I'm riding with you !

[@HeyboysGarage]

Aye let’s go! Hope you find one soon in good condition

[@AYoDrew32]

Id recommend 'The Mercedes Swap Shop' for tuning, he's the best in the game.

[@HeyboysGarage]

I heard they are great! I’d recommend RaceIQ Performance they are the king/legends on this platform

[@alonzoalvarado8719]

Hey bro can you post a link of that Apple car unit and does it interfere with any of the stock features ?

[@HeyboysGarage]

It came with the car! I’m not sure which unit it is. It’s sony tho

[@NP_707]

How’d you figure out your BCM when bad?

[@HeyboysGarage]

The high pitch noise coming from the trunk, also if you purchase that cigarette port charger it will tell you your voltage all the time to keep tabs on if something is not right

[@NP_707]

@ figured it out I have a bad ecm or wiring harness trying to find the right harness now 😂 not fun if you ever run into this problem ecm I’d no longer available from Mercedes or harness got ecm figured out now I’m trying to find the right harness now

[@alexdiaz2308]

Two weeks after i bought my e55, the air suspension went out, and then it started leaking gasoline out the fuel pump. It's definitely a fun daily otherwise.

[@eeZyy_]

Two weeks???? How much did you buy it for

[@alexdiaz2308]

I paid 13 grand with 97k miles on it.

[@HeyboysGarage]

Did you replace the shocks with new air bags or switched to coil over?

[@alexdiaz2308]

I switched over to bc coilovers.

[@HeyboysGarage]

@ which brand?

[@joelaguilar1178]

Can anyone help with the parking lamp lights bc mine flicker after I installed leds

[@HeyboysGarage]

That’s weird, might depend on your setup or the led you got. I believe mine I just have the led and works great. My E55 I needed the led decoder

[@zipazzz]

Would recommend a gearbox oil change before the remap, but remap - totaly worth it. My one has full torque from 2000rpm. Just rips

[@HeyboysGarage]

Gearbox oil change was done about 5k miles ago including the filter and 13pin connector. Are you also stock with just a tune?

[@woapaggin6803]

What oil do u guys use im in the US?

[@woapaggin6803]

Tranny fluid*

[@HeyboysGarage]

@@woapaggin6803 for transmission Valvoline full synthetic ATF

[@zipazzz]

Yea, im at 536 horse with everything stock. Just a remap, secondary cats and mufler delete

What part of Georgia do you live in? I have a 2004 e55 Amg

[@HeyboysGarage]

Kennesaw area bro! What about you?

[@khalidmohammed6428]

Im in powder springs bro. We should link ​@HeyboysGarage

[@HeyboysGarage]

@ that’s about an hour through the city to your area

[@khurt03]

Glad youre enjoying the vehicle man! Putting major miles on it since the summer lol.

[@HeyboysGarage]

Every single day feels like I just got it. So far about 8k since July. Damn 😮 I gotta feature your CLS55 on the channel at some point

[@khurt03]

@HeyboysGarage yessir! We'll make it happen soon!

[@franciscofox2071]

Im torn on getting something like this to replace my clk500... or a 2011 c63 amg... i do think the E55 would be more reliable, but the c63 would be a little newer so idk but it will need to make this choice soon i gotta sell my clk500 plus a 08 S550!

[@HeyboysGarage]

Yea the E55 will be more reliable hands down. It also doesn’t have any known issues other than maintenance. Other thing is, it’s faster than a NA 63. In terms of how new or old maybe look at the mileage between the two

[@sebastianwitek9995]

Hi, I am about to purchase my first amg E55 05 model . I am worried about the SBC unit and air shocks. Has you SBC unit been changed yet ? Thanks

[@HeyboysGarage]

Yes, I’m sure yours has been changed at some point. Ask the owner if not, I’m not sure if Mercedes is still offering the free change. Air bags depends on if they have been changed yet. If they have been changed then that’s good. Bilstein air bags are the best, or you can convert to coil over

[@YungSC3]

SBC pumps are covered under warranty extension through Mercedes for 25 years so If you have an 03 it’s covered till 2028

[@khurt03]

SBC pump is still covered under extended warranty as person above stated. Air bags arent an if but when they go out type of situation. Just replace with Arnott.

[@sebastianwitek9995]

@@YungSC3Hi even if you live outside US . I reside in Sydney Australia . I will have to check ,but when I rung Mercedes ,they said NO ,and I would be $4500 out of pocket . That is $AU

[@bubajallow1730]

Send me the link to the bcm boss mines is just cranking no start

[@HeyboysGarage]

There are a bunch on eBay, you just have to match your part number on yours to the BCM on eBay. Only numbers that need to match is the A#

[@M7MdGaM4R]

Hear me out after owning the car the same months I got the alternator and u can put the 150 amps of s500 2005 it’s very cheap but if it’s not the regulator u need to change it never fix it even if he say fix it it won’t +my friends told me it’s normal problem cause I push the car to limit a lot

[@HeyboysGarage]

Send me a link of what you are talking about. The 150 amps of s500

[@xxkai45xx48]

"cause when i unplugged the battery the fan stopped when i plugged the battery back in the fan kept going" Wow no way who would have thought... ahahah
