Hi All,
I must apologise for not posting for a long time, things have been so hectic with work and home life I haven't had the time to post, but, I do spend lots of time reading all sorts of threads on here, the information and knowledge you guys have is priceless !
My old posts were about my E55 AMG, I still have it, had it for 7 years now !
Its still the best car I have ever bought, the 113M engine is unbelievable, just turned 90k so guess its just run in lol. Seriously though its never let me down, yes its had a few general wear and tear parts replaced but reliability I cannot fault.
Only issue I have now is the boot won't open, the motor failed so disconnected this to use manually (which I prefer tbh, the electrical motor is too noisy !) but guess the handle part has now failed to as cannot open at all, not even with the emergency key.
Anyway I digress, sorry.....I have now just purchased an SL55 AMG 2004 model, covered 62k, beautiful machine...but, on driving home the other night the RED warning message as the title says came up, thing is does this mean oil level low ?? Its never said top up the oil once had that on the E55), I don't fully understand what the message means, if its low in oil surely it would say top up ?
The oil level is fine and even says so, it generally comes up with this message after driving for approx. 30 mins and not always when driven hard, just general driving around town or A roads.
I've read the oil sensor can be faulty, its going to my friends garage on Saturday where he'll plug it into STAR (he's an ex Merc technician working for himself) to see what it says.
Just wondered if anyone's experienced this before, if they know what it actually means please.
Thanks
