I have also checked the fuses

Hi All. I have a CLK 2000 convertible. It has done about 90000 miles and is not really used much. Out of the blue the convertible roof stopped working. I had no problems with it up to now. I did notice the last couple of times I put the roof back it was a little slower than usual. But I put...

Problem seems to have disappeared for now. I will change the sensor anyway just in case it' dodgey. Thanks for the help.

Hi. I have a A208(W208) 2000 CLK convertible with a 2.3 engine. I recently had a warning light come on. My code reader reported the crankshaft position sensor was the problem. A search online suggests the lack of power when the engine is hot is indeed the crankshaft sensor begining to fail. So...

I have reposted this as a new post as the problem disappeared during the summer. Hi All. I am having a problem with my W208 2000 CLK. When I start the engine and select reverse drive the uptake is a severe clunk. I can reverse out of my drive and then select drive which gives another severe...

Yes it looks like the tensioning wire on the drivers side has broken. Or the stop on the end has broken off allowing the cable to break loose. Has anyone out there fitted these cables. Any tips you could pass on would be helpful.

Hi. I am not sure if this is the best place to post but I will start here. I have a 2000 CLK Avantgarde convertible. Great car and fun to drive especially in good weather. Last couple of times I have retracted the top it has stopped midway through the process. The front part of the roof...

It is about 6.5 cm x 4.5 cm x 4 cm. does that help. I will try to put on a photo with a scale later tonight. Thanks for replying.

hi All. I was driving my CLK around the other day when I heard something hit the underside of the car. it sounded like something had fallen off the car while driving. Now having just had the car serviced the day before I thought the mechanic might have forgotten to re-tighten something and it...

I should add the car spends a fair amount of time parked up on the kerb outside my house. Probably goes four or five days without use.

Hi All. I have just started having a problem with my 2000 CLK. When I start the engine and select drive the uptake is a severe clunk and the car gets stuck in gear. Nothing is displayed on the dash and the gear indicator is blank. With the engine ticking over I can only select neutral or drive...

I recently carried out a diagnostic check on my 2000 CLK convertible. I noticed a plug / pin hanging loose inside the box. Since the car is running OK I am guessing it is for some accessory I do not have on the car. But I would like to know what it is for if anyone can tell me. Picture is a bit...

I would not worry about oil viscosity too much. The most important part of the engine oil is the additives used in the oil. They make up about 20- 30% of the total oil. As there are four main additive suppliers world wide the chances are your oil will contain one of their additive packages. As...

Diagnostic threw up P0410 secondary air injection system error. Cleared the fault code and the EML has stayed off, so far!
