Cool car, Common problem. 2002 Mercedes AMG CLK55.The CAR WIZARD knew the problem before it arrived 

Thanks for the great diagnosis and repair Wizard! Drives so smoothly and quiet now. Becky has the keys and won’t give them to me. Lol.

I bought a 2001 CLK55, with 55K on it, back in 2008. Because of videos like this, I've done all the maintenance. Thanks everyone.

bought one of these in 2013 with just 45,000 miles on it. probably one of my favorite cars ever! the exhaust is wicked, even stock!

I had a 2000 AMG E55 for years. I loved it. That car was bulletproof - so well made

Owner of a 02’ 430 here. Absolutely love my car and looking to add power to it. I didn’t know that about the throttle position sensor. Makes much sense! But it’s a great car I turn heads every day and I use it everyday no major issues.

I had CLK320 for about four years. Such a nice car. Met my wife when I had one. A bit nostalgic.

The BEST CLK of all time. Sister car to the legendary CLK-GTR.🤘🏻

Thanks for doing this video Wizard! I'm a proud owner of a 2000 E55. The M113 engine is very reliable. Valve cover and breather cover oil leaks, but those are easy to fix for a DIY-er. Everything on this car is pretty easy to work on. I replaced the motor mounts and transmission mounts myself.

Such a beautiful car. That front end styling aged really well.

my dad owned one of these in early 2012 i have very profound memories sitting in those back seats and opening and touching those cup holders.

I had an E39 M5 back in the day and will admit, when an E55 would be at a stoplight with me, it still raised the blood pressure. The 55 engine under boost sounded pretty cool.

This benz is already a classic. I would love to own one

Absolutely love that classic wheel design

I’m sure the Wizard and his team appreciate the venerable, yet reliable “subject to” clause in his estimate and contract paperwork. This guards against the all too familiar customer gripe “that’s not the price you said it was” or everyone’s favorite: “you’re trying to rip me off” 😊😊

my dream car, this car has aged so well!

i had a e class that had this same front end design . love this era mercedes very well made , i miss it . this clk is priceless , its in impeccable shape too . gorgeous car 😻😻😻

I really like that car. Thanks for checking it out for us.

Thank you for answering my request and others request for this video! Coming from a 2001 E430 Sport owner👍 I love these old Mercedes!

It's so nice to see how Mrs. Wizard fully supports The Wizard with his RU-vid channel and his endeavors and act like a team. Honestly I am a bit jealous of that, and hope I can find someone like that for myself as well. Here's best wishes for you two.

Of all the expensive car brands that you and Hoovie own and work on, Mercedes is my favorite. I've owned a '91 and '94 E class and to this day they are the best cars I've owned.

Hi mate, writing to you from Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia. Bought my 2001 CLK 55 AMG in late 2020, she's almost done 203,000 kms and is superb to drive. Love the rumble from the engine and the amazing torque. Great video - excellent to see someone who genuinely knows his stuff!

I just bought a -97 w210 e55 amg. Awesome car! It is 340000 kilometers driven, and still goes like champ!

This exact problem is happening with my 99 C43. The NA M113 might be the best gas Mercedes engine ever made. Surprisingly efficient, and really stout.

I bought a used one. It was retuned by Brabus It was a lovely and served me well for 3 weeks, until it caught fire. Turns out that one of the previous owners installed a trans dipstick that was unfortunately the wrong spec. Unknowingly, I overfilled the trans fluid and on the motorway the car was pluming smoke and flames under the floor plan. I couldn’t quench the oil fire so just watched her burn from afar. ‘Boom boom boom’ were her last words.

I love Mercedes, I own 2011 E350 4matic but always been dreaming of owning E63 amg

I like these. Best looking "modern" Mercs in my opinions.

Love it so much, you guys are just you. No show no glitter 👌❤️

I just so much love the participation of Mrs Wizard ❤️ That's the Key to an excellent Relationship. Way to go Car Wiz ❣️❣️

I love this generation of 2 door AMG Mercedes. This is pretty much the end of the classic Benz styling that was still prominent when I was a young kid in the 1980s. I also love the BF Goodrich tires!

I appreciate the exemplary work all of you, Mrs Wizard et. al produce, but I want the world to know that YOU are the BOB ROSS OF AUTO MECHANICS.

That’s 1 over engineered cup holder!

Really like the channel. Please consider showing some of the work being completed. I miss that type of content as shown in your earlier videos. Keep up the Wizardry!

Sooo true about "in person" estimates. So many variables you can't control when you don't see it. I never do that either....

I see this one becoming a classic, anyone disagrees? Hugely underrated

My mother had a 1999 CLK 320 convertible., it was ordered from a picture shot in Germany in early 1998. They waited a year for it. My mother drove it to 120,000 miles until 2010 until she bought a CPO 2007 E350 sedan with low mileage.

Drove a 2002 CLK55 for a few years. Great car, Except the bumper seems like it was designed to rip it self off if you came any where near a kerb.

Another one of my favorites!

I have a 2002 W208 CLK 430 amg with the AMG appearance package. Its the last of the old benz

Im here for the record, having watched all of wizards videos (including those featuring the yachts) I am convinced that any individual(s) who would thumb down any of your quality content at this time are disgruntled and bitter, how sorry, that is my peace. Having seen your great success and gains and that those around you as well as the talent in your shop and your wonderful family...carry on sir, I can only say I wish they would speak up with their gripes

I have the exact same car! I got lucky and found a mint one with only 67,000 miles! It's my favorite vehicle. Great video!

Omg I love that CLK55 AMG 😍🔥

By far a favorite. Liked the cl 55 at the same time. Clk was an amazing car !

Mr and Mrs, what a dynamic duo. Turns out I follow anything you post.

That's one of my favourite M! I like the old stuff!

W208 the last real coupe with star on the hood. and as a convertible a dream

Nice review and discussion Wizard and Mrs.

My baby, I just looked off my balcony at mine, thanks car wizard and Euro Asian Bob 👍🇮🇪👍🇮🇪👍🇮🇪

Awesome car. Congrats on your chanel. Keep it up

Awesome SCORE euroASIAN-bob!!

Great video Wizard.

Nice video! These older Mercedes-Benz models are built like tanks, I daily drive a 2000 E320 4matic (with all the options) and it's been an ultra-reliable car that is also fun & smooth to drive, and great fuel economy for a 3.2 liter V6. This generation of CLK is the convertible version of the W210 and they truly are great luxurious cars that are built to last especially since they only have naturally aspirated engines and no air suspension, they are bullet proof cars when regular maintenance is done.

It would be great if you had a nation wide list of mechanics. Love your channel. My Mercedes is vibrating also, thanks for the tips.

These cars are super underated!! They click a lot of boxes. They are comfortable, fast and they handle. These cars paced the field in F1 in the year 2000. I love mine with 175K and drive it often. Anyone who is intersted in this car should buy it..won't regret it.

Nice car, lucid talk and well displayed

2002 CLK55 my first AMG. I still have it. It looks identical to this one. Except I put 18" monoblocks on mine from an E55 and lowered it 1".

I have a 2001 model. No real complaints to say about the car. I have 47k miles on mines. I take care of the oil changes on this car. Very easy to do when using a oil extractor. Replaced the spark plugs last year. That took me a couple of hours.

OG CLK is a very hot ride. I have a W209 CLK 500 Cabrio, I love it.

My mounts went out and so I bought them from FCPEuro and then had them installed for a couple hundred. They are not that difficult. The drivers side is the hardest but you can pull the pipe off the exhaust manifold and then it is fairly easy to get to. The mounts are not expensive. It makes a huge difference in the way the car feels.

My grandpa had a '98 clk 200 kompressor. The 200k was only for the 'poor' european markets, but in the pre-'99 cars (they reduced the power of the engine with the 1999 'restyle') it was better value for the money then the 230K: almost the same performance but better (marginally) fuel economy, and lower sticker price. I love that car, even after 23 years (but only 36k km) it is still a great car to drive, and with more than appropriate power for the roads and traffic here in Italy!

One of the last good looking and well Built CLks, got the E320 4matic wagon (S210) and it’s been hella reliable even when neglected. No spec of rust, no mechanical issues, no accident 1 owner vehicle, 3rd row seats… msrp was 57k back in 01. Bought it for just 1k with 138k miles. Shes at 142 now. My other car is a W140 merc, the degradation of quality is kinda visible since the 140 was the last hurrah from merc while spending a billion dollar on the 140 project. The S class of this 2000s was a big flop, the CLK and E classes were okay. Keep up bringing these early 2000s and 90s mercs. Such a treat to the eye with their tech and complexity while being subtle and elegant, built like no other.

This is my dreamcar😍, I love everything from this car!!!😍😍😍, I hope I can buy it in 5 years. Gotta do it with my Opel Corsa for now.

I have a beautiful red 2003 cabriolet. Love the car. This car the Wizard has needs the cluster ribbons repaired.

I have the 2001 same car and it’s awesome it’s has these go out twice but I’m pretty rough on it lol. Also can add harmonic balancer and coil springs cracking to common problems on these

I had a very similar car for about 12 years, clk320 2000, black on black with amg rims. Looked almost identical! Cup holders' full automation eventually went, had a corner that bubbled up due to rust. After one winter had to get wiring replaced, snow melted and water leaked inside. Moonroof eventually started to get stuck, started to get misfires due to coils. This one is in incredible shape and very clean! 5:30 it's missing a horizontal strut, my had bottom bumper with a grills instead. They don't make a nice beefy rear like this anymore with split lights.

A hood ornament on an AMG? Wonderful times!

I had to do the mounts on my 55 and it drives like a dream now.

Another fine video. I can’t wait to see a video on the ALPHA ROMEO. !

I love the different color seat inserts in this car and also in the slk

Hmm ,I have noticed a little bit of a shake at idle on my 1995 c class. I'll have a look at the mounts in the morning. Thanks car wizard 👍

Man that interior is soo close to my 2000 C230 Kompressor. I was able to snatch it up for 2500 . And the only thing it needed was .... motor mounts and transmission mounts. It only had 115k miles on it when I got it 3 years ago. Now it's at 130k and still runs and drives perfect. It was also garage kept so its in fantastic condition inside and out. It by far the most favorite car I have owned.

Love you Car Wizard been with you to the start and have just come back to see how your doing! Over 600k I’m subscriptions? Amazing 🤩 well done 👍🏾 all power and positivity from your UK 🇬🇧 viewers

Love you carwizard!

You can fill up the gaps on new engine mounts with urethane sealant for a bit more rigidity.

This era of Mercedes is probably the last where they were built like tanks. I own an 02 C320, every time I close the door it sounds like a bank vault. The new ones seem to lack this.

Thanks for the info

The Car Wizards has the coolest walk on RU-vid! I'd love to see a continuous loop video of him just walking around.

Thank you!

Hi wiz in at 11th🇮🇪 Coincidentally my clk 08 has just developed a worn engine mount

I HAVE 3 CLK W208s AND WILL BUY MORE AND NEVER SELL THEM! THEY JUST LOOK SOO SEXY AND PERFORM GREAT! AWESOME VID WIZARD!

I had one as a company car in 2003 and boy was it a fantastic car! Super super nice to drive but I found it very uncomfortable on long drives. 3 years later I got a volvo c70 just because of the better seats as I spent so much time in them. Not as fast for sure but with the turbo it always felt quick.

Finally 😍😍👍🏻 looking very nice underneath btw did you pronounce Maybach correctly? I believe so😧😄👍🏻

my CLK 55 AMG 2003 had a battery drain problemfor the longest time, found out it was the power seat. i just unplugged it now it works fine

i think a cool thing you should have pointed out with this car, is the fact that it from 2002, and it is amg, and it still uses a steering box. how well these cars drive, you would think it had a rack. that being said, great video =D

Just bought one of these today it’s wicked

this is my fave Mercedes of all time...i want one, and I even have a 2003 sl55! although I have to admit, I'd love to see what the 5.5 Kompressor engine would do in one of these...

I had one of these in silver years ago. Absolutely one of the finest cars I've ever owned. Regretted it almost immediately, after I sold it. The only thing I disliked about it was that Mercedes had not yet gone to rack and pinion steering on this model. That would have made linear steering much more accurate. And just as Car Wizard was alluding to, these cars were still of an era when Mercedes were clean and elegant designs. Not the silly LED eyebrows and such of modern Mercedes.

my uncle has a CLK55AMG from this generation! it survived a flood and still started right up

THIS is.... When MB still made cars that were unique, elegant and one of a kind, unlike these days MB was nice and classically beautiful up to late 2000s I have been driving our 2005 S55 that my mom bought new. I got this car in 2017 and would not change for some new 2020 BENZ that looks like everything else with ton of huge screens I had my motor mounts fixed on my S class last week, was quite nice bill lol

My mom bought a brand new CLK45 2002 in Silver with gray interior. My mom says it was one her favorite cars she had ever owned.

I saw one today, looked very nice in person

Nice video car wizard.

It's a 5.4L 3V engine, just like the Ford Triton! Except there is no variable valve timing.

I slowed the video down to 50% to check out AMG's badging on the door panels' wood trim, and had a great laugh. Mrs. Wizard, forgive me.. Gotta check it out though. Not to pick on Mrs. Wizard or anyone else, but one can make anyone sound rather intoxicated by doing this... Good fun

My father has owned a CLK55 since brand new. Love that car. It only has like 25,000 miles on it and I love riding in it. It's especially nice since we have a convertible version WITH the supercharger that some came with. It is incredibly fast, and an underrated AMG gem in my opinion.

Wizard PLEASE cover up APOLLO11 the dust is making me want to fly out from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to clean it!!! Oh and another great video loved the Transmission mount comparison 🤣👍🏻

Have owned mine for 6yrs now, great car👍🏼 can’t believe Hoovie sold his 55, he’ll regret it when prices go up.

On mine, the motor/tranny mounts made a huge difference. I also found that once I replaced the MAF, the engine was dead smooth again at idle. Those early 2000 Mercedes just had "the look". You know immediately what it is, and it's got styling for days. The new ones...meh..

Always check this is a very common problem with all cars a loose but behind the wheel there's the tip of a lifetime 👍🤔

Here before 1k! Sick car!

Yeah I just realized I've got bad engine mounts and transmission mounts on my car luckily thru don't seem hard to fix on a 05 impala. But im sure getting tired of the clunking
