w209

Help please. Proud owner of 2005 CLK500 convertible. Had it about a year. About a month ago two malfunctions came up: ESP Malfunction drive to workshop plus Tiptronic drive to workshop. My mechanic checked with his STAR and said it was a faulting steering angle sensor and changed it. Yesterday...

Hi, Both the rear headrests in my W209 2003 CLK (tintop not cabriolet) are suffering from flaking leather. It's an Avantgarde with light and dark grey interior and the rear headrests are manual as far as I know - just a release button to flip them up/down. I am looking to replace them with...

Hi All, Firstly, apologies if this has already been discussed. I found some discussions about a similar issue in W203s and another mentioning duo valves, which apparently the W209 (CLK) doesn't have so I am well and truly going mad. When I turn the temperature on my climate panel to 18...

Hi all, I've joined these forums to get a good idea of what I'm about to get myself into by buying a MB. I have now finished my search and looking to buy a CLK200K W209 model. Currently I am in talks with a 2002 model owner and plan to buy it from him for 2700 EURO. Currently I am in final...

Hi, looking for some help/advice to locate a couple of parts I need for my 2006 CLK55 cabriolet. Following knee surgery this week my fiancé was using the car () to pick up our daughter and went down a curb on full left lock trying to accelerate onto the road. There was a nasty crunch as we...

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 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...

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...

Hi, but of a random question but does anyone know if the 5 speed CLK55 AMG W209 gearbox can be changed for a 7 speed one? Would surely mean much more mpg with them extra gears?

Hi, I just got a 2006 CLK220 CDI and have a small problem with the electrics. The side windows open remotely but for some reason don't close when locking the car. I press and hold the lock button without releasing but no joy. They work perfectly from the interior switches. I just replaced...

Hi all. I have a 2003 CLK55 cabrio, the car is great, other then the long list of faults that keep appearing quicker than I can get them fixed, but the major one at the moment is an oil leak. However yesterday my friend was behind me (he's an ex mechanic) and he said when I put some power down...
