Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual cover both the pre-facelift and post-facelift W210 E 55 AMG?

Yes. The W210 E-Class underwent a significant refresh for the 2000 model year. This manual covers both generations — the original 1997–1999 build and the updated facelift variants through 2002 — including any revised wiring schematics and specification changes introduced at the facelift.

Are the M113 engine rebuild procedures included?

Full M113 5.4L V8 engine coverage is included: cylinder head removal, crankshaft and bearing specifications, timing chain and tensioner replacement, camshaft procedures, and complete torque sequences. This is the same hand-built AMG unit producing approximately 349 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque.

Does the manual cover the 722.6 transmission conductor plate issue?

Yes. The 722.6 5-speed automatic paired with the E 55 AMG is notorious for conductor plate (13-pin plug) failure causing erratic shifting. The manual includes valve body disassembly, conductor plate replacement, fluid specifications, and electronic control module diagnostics to address this common fault.
