My w208 suffers from a slightly sticky accelerator. While not a major problem, it effects the feel of the pedal and is particularly agrivating in traffic. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution? MB has done the same thing everytime I have brought this up. Greased the linkage...

I have just picked up my w208 CLK from Mercedes Milton Keynes. I had it in to rectify a brake noise problem I have. At low speeds, especially in traffic, the brakes make a low frequency groan as they release. When you apply the brakes, the same noise is there and the brakes tend to lock on at...

I've just taken delivery of an adaptor cable that allows steering wheel control of an Alpine fead unit. The adaptor fits between the connector and plug in the back of the instrument panel. That cable has about thirty pins, of which only two are being used by the Alpine unit. Someone must be...

The connector that plugs into the Audio 10 player, which in turn connects to the steering wheel controls, does that have a link to the phone system as it does with the COMAND?

No. I live in London, so the treck to Milton Keynes is not one I relish. London dealership charges are just so high. Do you have any advice? The brakes have this tendency to bind, just at the end of the braking cycle. Just before you come to a halt, there is a noise accompnied with a...

There must be an interface for the Mercedes car kit though. I just need to access the phone pick up/put down mode. Any clues?

I had George fit a set of brakes, new pads and disks to my CLK for me. A forum member told me that the whole procedure, including a brake fluid bleed would take about an hour and a half. George quoted me for three hours labour. I watched the mechanic fit my brakes.He wasn't in a rush. He took...

It took me ages to get enough information from enough sources to get some perspective. In one camp is the COMAND set, whose back cataolgue of Barry Manilow must be truly impressive. In the other are the R&B freaks who think a judge of a good Hi-Fi has to do with whether your fillings vibrate or...

Recently removed from 230 CLK. Any offers?

I want to fit a parrot bluetooth unit into my CLK and use the phone pick-up function on the multi-function steering wheel. Anyone have a clue if this can be done. A circuit diagram for the merc phone system would be a start. Any other clues.....

I have a Mercedes Audio 10 Radio Cassette with a CD changer and a Nokia car kit for sale. Would you be interested? Let me know.

There is much conjecture about what to do about the audio in the CLK. I suppose it all comes down to what you want out of your sound system. The speakers fitted with the car are made by Nokia and are of less than average quality. I have a CLK230 (W208) which had as standard three speakers in...

The Becker DTS is being updated. the new model will be available by late July and will be faster and better. I'd wait for that.

Car charger and hands free kit with interface for Audio 10. Any offers?

I've checked out a few web sites. Is £300 for the two unreasonable? I'm going to have both units available as of tomorrow. I have found the code for the radio also. Anybody interested?
