Yes I have a similar problem engine management light comes I and goes off. It came on last week for a day or so then went off. I put it down to going through some big puddles with all the rain we've had! Maybe water getting into sensor or something? It's come back on today and it's been fairly...

Engine fault/management light Hi Everyone, this valve body fault (1/2 gear when cold) I definitely have. I've been reluctant to spend the £1500 approx to fix it obviously. My Clk500 (2005) has just had the yellow engine light come on but hasn't gone into limp mode? In fact it's exactly the same...

Anyone who contributes to any thread I start is clearly thanked in advance for any help or constructive comments made. Trying to stay on topic, just dropped my mrs off at work and it's done it again. Having a look under the seat there is a selection of jack plugs like the sort of thing you plug...

What sort of reply is look at post 4? The kind chap was offering to scan the key programming pages for me (which I hopefully wont have to trouble him for). Im pretty sure got a fault, whilst driving on fairly fast stretch of road my drivers seat just decided start adjusting its self! After being...

Engine Mounts Thanks for your reply, further reading leads me to believe that it might be the engine/transmission mounts. Apparently there a weak spot on the w209 and especially the V8 models. It doesn't sound like an engine mount problem but lots of owners have had this problem and that has...

Does anyone know where the fuse for the motors on the drivers seat is? I'm going to set the seat in my position and remove it. Does the fuse also work the heated seat? If it does then its a luxury I can do without. Your help is always appreciated.

When the shocks give way I will fit some Koni's as the work well with eibachs. I may even consider the eibach anti roll bar kit! Yeah good point about the tracking as I don't what to be going through tyres quicker than I should. I will post some pics soon as I've just has some new wheels and...

Sorry BlackC55 I've just realised that you are the specialist in Portsmouth I was talking about! I'm new to all this forum stuff and just picking things up. Have you ever changed a cam chain and tensioner on the V8?

Just had my Eibach pro kit fitted today (30mm) drop on clk w209. I must say it's an absolute game changer, the handling has been transformed. It's now very procise and generally feels tighter not to mention improving the looks. I would total recommended it to any Clk owner!

Thanks BlackC55. Now having realised that the noise continues on even when the engine is warm I now longer think it is a lifter/tappet problem. The engine does not make the noise on tick over (stationary position) even when revved! The noise comes only under load particularly on acceleration...

Great now I've got a haunted car! A guy in the pub said that you go into the computer and turn off the comfort settings and that stops the seats moving to other settings. However he was a bit drunk and wasn't really making that much sense. He definately does own a clk270 cdi so he might be on...

When I get out of my car (CLK500-2005) my seat position, steering wheel and wing mirror position changes. This happens even if I leave the car for a couple of hours and come back, everythings changed. The mirrors point down to the rear wheels? So I get in move it all back to where is was and...

Hi Everyone, having recently bought a 2005 Clk500 m113 engine Ive noticed a bit of lifter/tappet noise on start up/first 5 minutes of driving. As I understand it this is fairly common with this series of engine. On some of the American forums people have been talking about a oil pipe (maybe...

Hi Everyone Just bought my second Mercedes 2005 clk500 in black it's got a few issues but a intend to work through them. I owned a slk230 about ten years ago and I have just defected from a Lexus is300 which I part ex'd for this one. If this Mercedes is anywhere near as reliable as the lexus...
