Why? What happens?

Why? What happens?

Most folk just pull,,the caps are on tight,,the cap comes of with a jerk and you can end up pulling the wire out of the coil pack, a very expensive mistake

IMO, an air driven ratchet is the tool for this job. The spark plug threads are often dry and uncomfortable with a hand ratchet.

(In My Opinion only - I take no responsibility if you break anything...)

Cheers guys.

My Stealership has quoted me £880 for it's B Service this month (59 days overdue) - I am insisting they honour a leaflet they sent me for £319 for the standard service - the remainder they say is for Spark Plugs (£300), Fuel and Air Filters, and a change of Brake Fluid - I am awaiting a full breakdown - god willing they will not find anything else pre M.O.T. which I have "free for life".

My car (CLK 320 Cabriolet - Avantgarde) is a "Sunday Car" - I've had since August 2004, it was first registered on 01.09.2002 (W208 model) So far it has covered around 41,000 miles - so appx 6000 mls a year.

Think I will attempt to change the Spark Plugs myself - are the fuel and air filters easy too? Would appreciate some info on these items also if possible.

I believe the Brake Fluid was changed about 1 to 2 years ago so I do not think this is necessary at this time Perhaps someone could steer me in the right direction please?

Also, where can I easily find the part numbers for my vehicle and where should I buy all the bits online? I think I have the Spark Plug numbers -but should I stick with MB supplied plugs?

Regards

Paul

I can let you have the paper on the plugs,, the other filters are dead easy to change.

The only difference between the plugs is that the MB ones have the logo printed on them.

Hi again

Yesterday I had a very long discussion with my Dealership - they are trying to accomodate me despite the high cost of the Service. They quoted me, in actual fact, having now read the full breakdown, £1042 incl vat.

Of this the B Service comes to £484, incl vat, the additional items (plugs, air and oil filters) - labour only £333, incl vat - the rest is the cost of parts for the additional items.

I have told them that I am not willing to pay the labour costs and that they must honour the cost of the B Service as advertised in a brochure they sent me recently - £319 all in, incl vat. My target is for them to do everything for no more than £544 incl vat.

My issue is, however, that I have asked them to check over some corrosion on the car, particularly rear wheel arch corrosion. My bodywork warranty expires on 31st August 2010 (after 8 years) and if they do not "stamp" my service book, then Mercedes will not honour any bodywork correction at their expense. They have already told me that if I do not have the additional items carried out by them in addition to the actual B Service, they will not stamp my book. I told them this is rather "sharkish" and not acceptable.

The guy at the garage is really trying his best for me and at this moment in time I am awaiting his response. The Dealership has always given me excellent customer help, support and service and they have always dealt with me on a highly porofessional level, so I am seriously hoping they will meet my target price.

Thoughts anyone? Is this normal practice? I would have thought that if the additional items are outside the main B Service, then it doesn't matter who does the work and that my Service Book should be stamped after carrying out the B Service work alone. I have already authorised them to undertake the B Service and carry out the M.O.T.

Obviously I am mindful about the corrosion work - this problem is apparently very common on these pre-galvanised cars.

Thanks in anticipation

Paul

Hi Jet

Well things were such that the work regarding the Spark Plugs was left with the Company together with all items relating to the B Service. This was because the picture regarding the corrosion work turned out to be a very long story!

If you are interested take a read at my thread at: -

The Dealership have been very accomodating with me and have sorted things out completely - I am full of admiration about them.

Hopefully I collect my car tomorrow all nicely sorted and gleaming

Hello from Wellington New Zealand.

My car is a NZ new CLK320 -year 2000.

I wish to change the spark plugs and wonder if someone might be able to email a how to sheet ?

The car has 82000 km from new and is probably on its original plugs,wires and coils.

Thankyou.
