Hi all
Am familiar with the Elegance and Avantgard models and their various differences.
Rule of thumb:
Elegance Comfy
Avantgard Cool
But what of the sport? Seems to be the best looking version with with a subtle bodykit present. Also the ones I've seen tend to be well loaded too...
Hi
Need a new thermostat on my car. ECP do a Circoli for only £7.20! I have read a lot of threads about the diesel thermostats going and having temp sensors. Does anyone know if the petrol cars have similar? Is the Circoli one okay or should I ring up the stealers?
Thanks.
Hi you Mercedes enthusiasts out there. I'm currently looking to buy a CLK 220 (preferably nothing higher than a 2 litre engine) and I look forward to finding more about the great vehicle make that is Mercedes.

For example what work should be carried out at certain service intervals?
Mechanically wise what should I check for when buying the car?

Hi everyone!!!
Few days ago I spent all the day out, driving around London and my car was working perfectly. When I return home, I parked it and after 1h I came back to my car.
I used the key as normal to open it, then I turn on the lights. But, when I tried to start the engine... the car...

Then things got worse...
Later that day...
Hi all,
I have just bought a 2004 CLK 200 Kompressor.
Love the car, such a great drive. One thing that I have noticed though and it really bugs me is that my left rear foglight comes on as soon as I switch the headlights on.
If I swich the fog lights on, the left one stays on and the right...
Hi,
I have just managed to upgrade my stereo for my CLK, which involved a lot of research before all completed. However if you know what you are doing it is maybe just 10-15min work, which I could do now as well. Fitted a Pioneer UB-1500.
Anyway steps involved:
1. Remove old unit, using...

Hi all
My 2001 W208 CLK 230K has developed a high-pitched squeak when the engine is idle or revved up to around 1500rpm. I think it may be bodywork as the same squeak happens very slightly when I shut the driver's door!
Has anyone experienced this before?
Many thanks all!
Pete
Hi all
I have a 2001 W208 CLK 230K Convertible and the issue I am having is when I unlock the roof using the manual handle, the roof pops up as it should but not far enough.
When I pull the button up to open the roof fully, the rear windows folds up as it should and the metal compartment...
Hi,
I have a strange fault with the folding of both electric mirrors which started suddenly a week ago.
When you press the button on the light control panel to open the mirrors nothing happens. When you unfold them with your hand (they don't lock into place) and press either the open or...
Having been told I have three defective glow plugs on my recently-acquired CLK320CDI, I have had a look around the forum to see if this is a reasonable DIY job for someone who has done a lot of minor maintenance work on his old 300CE for many years. And I seem to come across conflicting...
I have just replaced my beloved 300CE with a CLK320CDI (thanks to a clumsy neighbour writing it off!)
In the 300CE it was a relatively easy job to hook in additional accessories - Tomtom satnav, in-car video camera etc - but I am reluctant to start poking around in this pristine new(ish) car...
