Hi all, I am reaching out as following a windscreen replacement by Autoglass, the rear view mirror in my W208 CLK Cab does not fit correctly, it seems loosely mounted. I raised this along with other complaints (windscreen side trim panels were damaged during the replacement too) and was told...

Hi Folks, On my pre-facelift W208 CLK, I am tempted to upgrade from my Alpine single DIN unit to this rather nice double DIN unit to be able to use CarPlay etc. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07B5DY2K6/?tag=amazon0e9db-21 I know I (or the fitter) will need to remove the tray under the existing...

Hi all, As a result of my father getting a new car, he is now looking to sell his old 1998 Mercedes CLK 320. He has owned this car since 2001 and it's been known to our family since 1999. It has covered just under 100,000 miles. It is still being used so this may be just a whiskey over 100,000...

Hi all, For the last few years I have had an issue with my 2000 W208 convertible top halting operation mid-cycle thus requiring me to complete it manually. This is very intermittent in nature and tends to happen 1 out of 5 times the roof operated. I don't know if this would happen in...

Hi all, I have a 2000 CLK W208 230K that's done 116K and I know that the seperntine belt has not been changed previously. Is there an internal / period when these should be swapped? Given the age / mileage I'm guessing it is likely to fail in the future so was thinking about being proactive...

Hi all, I need to replace the rubber at the bottom of both doors: Part/s 2086900382, 2086900482 It seems like a simple job I could do myself. I was wondering how to remove / replace these. Do they simply pull off / clip or are they fixed somehow? Thanks...

Hi al, I have a 2000 W208 CLK Cab. For the past couple of years I've had a fairly infrequent issue with my hood. When it happens it is annoying as it's always when you've got a boot full of stuff and opening the trunk / boot with the key manually is a pain. It usually happens when putting...

Hi all, I already happen to know the trigger / cause of this problem as a specialist resolved it for me previously. This issue is most prevalent when the car is cold. I notice that when the gears do not shift up the orange light around "D" is not illuminated (need lights on to see this...

Hi all, I have a 2000 W208 230K For the past few weeks, I've been battling with a local garage looking into my AC issues... When the system is charged, it lasts for 2-3 weeks before the AC no longer works / coolant is lost. The garage used a dye and identified initially some seals that...

Hi all, Today after reading another guide online, I found the little access panel where I can check the hydraulic fluid level for the hood. Mine is on the minimum marker, being as the car is 15 years old it's hardly surprising. However, is it worth going to all the effort of removing the...

Hi all, Today when I went to use my car I noticed the guard / plastic corrugated bit that usually sits around the selector lever (to prevent dirt / debris ingress into the mechanism) has disappeared. I know why this happened since last time I used the car a wire got stuck in there (fell out...

Hi guys, After shorting one of my side lamps last week, I am now trying to repair the burnt wires leading to the lamp. The area that is melted is the part which seems to have either a fuse or resistor inline. This was previously covered by insulation. I have standard side lights on mine...

Hi, I have little experience with cars but today decided to have a go at changing a side light bulb... When I removed the failed bulb it actually looked OK so I put it in the other side and it didn't work but when I put the original in that didn't work either, confused... I took my...

Hi all, My car: W208 CLK Cab. My A/C seems to be running very weak of late and to be fair I've not used it for a month or so since I've opted to have the hood down. Yesterday I noticed it was barely cold but perhaps just working. Looking on here I found out how to do some diags on...

Hi all, My 2000 CLK 230 Elegance Cab I feel is a bit roly in the bends... Now I know it's an elegance but I am wondering if there is milage in swapping my front shocks. Last year springs were changed, along with ARB bushes, top and bottom arms. I know the shocks were done in 2007 (I know who...

Hi all, I've just had a car re spray of a solid colour (black) and when I was polishing it the other day, I realised that it clearly doesn't have a clear coat on it since I saw a small amount of paint on the cloth. Is this standard practice for re spraying a solid colour car? I know some...

Hi all, It looks like my drain hole for water / overspilt fuel around the fuel cap is blocked, since it is not draining. What's the best thing to use to unblock it, a pipe cleaner? Thanks...

Hi all, My fathers 1998 W208 CLK 320 has become a non-starter since sitting for several months unused. He managed to get it started and took it out for a 20 mile run last weekend but the following Monday, he had to call out a local MB guy to reset the throttle, since apparently it lost comms...
