Mercedes Benz CLS Class Vorsteiner can not wait for the CLS 63 AMG

The Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG is perhaps the most stylish of all Mercedes-inflated but this will not escape with even many tuner snodere plans. Vorsteiner can not wait and sent forward a computer drawing in the world to show what we can expect. Unlike many other projects of the tuner, this promises to be a heavily rebuilt car.
Aero
One speaks of itself a light weight pre-preg carbon fiber aero package. A mouthful which somewhat indicates how much work there in the Vorsteiner CLS 63 AMG will sit. Also gives the impression that the tuner itself mainly with the opkalefateren of the model deals without much change to the subcutaneous technique. Large, aggressive styled wheels, a custom grille and a bodykit extreme in any case the order of the day. Actually, it is sufficient given the CLS 63 AMG is equipped with 557 hp and 800 Nm. More than enough for the three star to give the tracks a lot.

How to Change the Transmission Fluid on a ML430 Benz
1. Park the ML430 on a flat surface and make sure the engine is cool. If the car has been driven recently, wait at least 30 minutes for the heat to dissipate. Raise the car on jack stands to reach the underside of the engine more easily. Slide under the car and locate the transmission drain pan. It is a large, metal tank held with eight bolts beneath the middle of the engine.
2. Place a collection pan beneath the drain pan. Use the 1/2-inch socket wrench to remove all but one bolt on the drain pan. Wait 10 to 15 minutes for the fluid to drain into the collection pan. When it stops spilling from the side, place one hand on the drain pan and remove the final bolt. Lower the pan and pour the remaining fluid into the collection pan. Wash out the drain pan and bolts.
3. Remove the transmission filter under the drain pan with the 3/8-inch socket wrench. Attach the new transmission filter with the same bolts removed from the old one. Reattach the drain pan and lower the car from the jack stands.
4. Pop the engine hood by pulling the hood-release lever underneath the steering panel. Locate the yellow transmission dipstick above the drain pan. Pull it out and place a funnel into the tube. Pour in three quarts of five-speed transmission fluid. Replace the dipstick and close the engine hood.
5. Pour the used transmission fluid into a leak-proof container and take it to a recycling center. Many auto repair and auto parts shops also accept used car fluids.

How to Maintain the Engine of a Mercedes Benz 420Sel
1. Change the oil and oil filter at least once every 10,000 miles. To do this, first jack up the front end of your Mercedes and set jack stands in place. Lower your Mercedes down on the jacks. Remove the oil plug with your socket set and let the oil drain into your drip pan. Replace the drain plug with your socket set. Remove the old oil filter with your oil filter wrench. Set it aside and then hand thread the new filter in place. Tighten it down with your oil filter wrench. Add 6 quarts of 10-W-40 oil to your Mercedes via the oil fill hole on the right side of the engines manifold.
2. Check all your other fluid levels when you change the oil. These fluids include your transmission fluid, power steering fluid and brake fluid. To check the transmission fluid, start your Mercedes and then remove the transmission fluid dipstick located on the drivers side of the engine block towards the rear of the engine. Wipe the dipstick clean, stick it in and remove it. If you need transmission fluid, turn off your engine, stick a funnel into the filler hole and add the fluid. Replace your dipstick when your are done. The brake fluid reservoir is a round, plastic reservoir located near your transmission fluid dipstick. Remove the cap by twisting it off and read the indicator stick mounted on the inside of the cap. Add fluid if its low. The power steering fluid reservoir is located on the passenger side of the engine block near the belt drive pulley. Remove the cap by twisting it off by hand. It also has an indicator stick mounted on the underside of the lid. If the fluid is low, add it.
3. Check your air filter when you change your oil. The air filter is mounted inside a small box on the top of your engine, towards the back on your 420 SEL. Remove the single screw holding the box in place. Once youve done this, pull the cover off and remove the filter. If it appears dirty, change it.
4. Tune up your Mercedes every 20,000 miles. To do this you should first mark the spark plug wires with a crayon or paper. Number the wires 1 through 8 in the order in which they are mounted on each side of your engine. Since your 420 SEL is a V-8 engine, there will be four plugs located on each side of the engine. Once you have marked the wires in numerical order unplug them by hand from the spark plugs. Use your spark plug wrench to remove the eight plugs. Insert the new ones, tighten them with your spark plug wrench and then attach the spark plug wires in the order you numbered them in before.
