Carly is good for European models, but not much else. I use it mostly on BMW and VW, however it cost you a yearly subscription (about AUD 368) to keep it operating because, unlike a normal scanner, they have you by the nuts because it needs your phone to operate. If you do not pay the subscription, your phone no longer hooks into the carly system. It is a great tool if you are using it all the time, but pretty costly to keep the subscription going if you only use it occasionally.

Lots of dreamers buy these cars. They scrape up a downpayment but can barely afford the monthly and certainly can't afford the maintenance. Someone spent at least $10k on servicing though, so maybe that was the breaking point or maybe it was a few owners ago. But sometimes rich people don't give AF. They just drive shit into the ground and then dump it, moving onto the next fun ride. I used to know a Rolls Royce owner (now deceased) who stuck his damn gum on the dash before going into a restaurant for lunch.

I had one of those. It was awesome. There is a secondary battery just for the brakes. It is under the cabin filter in the engine compartment. That battery needs to be good or you may have a complete brake failure.

The transmission fluid can crawl up the wiring harness on these cars. It is a well known problem and the kits to change the fluid usually come with a new plug adaptor thing and a replacement rubber seal for it

My dad owns this car. He bought it new back in 2006 for well over 100,000 if I recall. He still owns it today. It has 35,000 miles on it. It’s always just been his Sunday driver. These cars were not meant to be daily drivers. My dad‘s E 55 AMG is holding up well and still drives beautifully.

I remember being in my early 20s and seeing the E55 AMG on the road. They’re still so beautiful and they’ve aged gracefully. Also love how the rear differential has heatsink fins. Hot hot. Great find!❤

For visual for your viewers, instead of running the rag down the cable and saying, "...you can see that it has fluid in it." hold the rag next to the cable and pat it so the fluid shows up on the rag and the viewers can see how much fluid is on the cable.

Those devices you showed are very useful 👍. Subscribed

The old mercedes conductor plate is definitely an issue but you definitely have to replace the seals as well especially the one around the harness connector the guide bush. This is sealed inside the conductor plate around the main harness connector that goes out the transmission casing by O-rings. I seen many shops disregarding this and overtime destroys that harness and even TCU. It definitely a big issue with these, as the fluid works past the wiring harness as seal goes bad and worst seen it works it way though the wires the harness and into transmission computer. Also valve body in those transmissions need overhaul as very problematic and will cause erratic shifting and popping no out of gear, or not going into gear. I repaired and rebuild a few of those transmissions over the years. That AMG E55 is a great car and one of my favorite once you work though issues is a reliable one and worth getting sorted even if you end up having to replace, or rebuild transmission.

At 2 decades old, time to change hoses, gaskets and seals. Engine bay looked clean but disappearing fluids gotta go somewhere. Glad to see this car didn’t have hidden catastrophic damage. Of course for you, catastrophe = content!

The way that one rear tire was worn, it looks like the suspension bushings were worn. That's why the tire is worn more on the inside. If the other tires are worn more on the inside, then the whole suspension might need a rebushing job.

Enjoyed watching this so much...very inspiring...Grazie from an Alfa Romeo owner : )

I been a Mercedes owner for over 15 years from a CLK500 to a GLE400 and the E55. I replaced the conductor plate on my old CLK500 and I'm about to do it on the E55 the good news is no programing on that transmission. Like the 7 speed the conductor plate need to be programed. When doing a conductor plate make sure you get the connector adapter plug w/o-ring, new trans pan bolts and trans filter.
