Rear Seats

[bonez]

How on earth do you remove the rear seats from a 2000 CLK 55 AMG. I am trying to get at the fuel tank senders. Have had a go myself but just cannot locate any catches or clips.

The seat squab should come out quite easily with the catches on each side under where your right thigh would be on the drivers side and left thigh on the passenger side.

Fuel Gauge Senders

If you are having trouble with faulty readings on the fuel gauge, there are previous posts which advocate filling up with a few tanks of premium petrol rather than the supermarket gunk. I had problems with the fuel gauge on my 2000 CLK230K, was quoted about £500 for new senders and fitting so tried the above and could not believe it when it worked - I had been having erratic readings for about six months and after two tankfuls the readings went back to normal. This was about 18 months ago, I now still use supermarket fuel but about every sixth tank or so fill up with premium fuel and the readings have been fine. Apparently its something to do with gunk sticking to the end of the electrodes and premium fuel having cleaning agent which supermarket fuel lacks. Try it before changing the senders as I believe the parts alone are round about £200+.
