    2001 CLK320 Avantgarde (W208) - need quick sale

    Hi. I have another car coming at the end of the week so I need to unfortunately let my CLK320 go :( . I've had it for around 12 months and it's been perfect. All it needed in my time is the oil change and petrol. It's a great car and it's a shame to see it go but needs must - I just don't have...

    Parking sensors

    Hi All, I have a W208 which I picked up in October. At that point I was aware of a problem with the parking sensors. There was a red light on the switch and if i switched it on then there was a long beep and the sensors showed two red bars (no amber). So i left them off. Then one random day...

    i've changed mine before (short type). Checked the youtube videos a few times and then only took 5 minutes being extra careful.

    Steering wobble - bad tyres?

    i believe the general rule for balancing is: Vibration in: Steering = front wheels Seat = rear wheels Braking = Discs Unless the alignment is dramatically out, this would very rarely, if ever, cause vibration, but you'd more likely feel it in odd handling or if left unresolved for a long...

    Do you wait at Zebra crossings after the pedestrian has passed your side of the road?

    I generally do wait until they are on the other side with at least one foot on the pavement. My driving instructor gave me exactly the same reason as the OP and it's just stuck with me now. The simple equation in my head is if there is a pedestrian in the road it's their right of way. Also, god...

    229.4 - Triple QX 5w40 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil

    just as cheap doesn't always mean bad, expensive also doesn't mean good. I've used Triple QX in my previous RX8 as well as Fuchs, Shell and Comma. They were all the correct grade and spec and they all worked fine.

    2001 Clk 230 cd changer

    i completely forgot about this. Apart from the wiring, if it's not present, do i need anything else to get going with this? does it come with the cradle and the CD cartridge? It might just be the reason to keep the original head unit and add this to play copied / burnt CDs instead of getting...

    Vibration when braking

    vibration whilst braking is usually a warped disc. It also makes sense for it to be a warped disc if the faster you go the more the vibration when braking.

    Balancing, alignment or something else?

    I think that's why i am surprised also. In all my years of car ownership and having gone through a ridiculous amount of tyres, never have i had to have them balanced any more than the original fitting. hey ho. Hopefully i'll get it all resolved in the next couple of weeks.

    Balancing, alignment or something else?

    they didn't mention anything out of the ordinary. Also these are the same tyres that came off the previous wheels i had on which were fine.

    Balancing, alignment or something else?

    UPDATE: I didn't manage to switch rears to front, but i did go along to another local tyre fitters and alignment company. They re-balanced the wheels and they did need redoing - one of the wheels needed 55g. There is still a little vibration but a lot less than before and only noticeable at...

    Balancing, alignment or something else?

    thanks guys. the hubs seem clean enough, but i'll see if i can swap front to rear and recreate the issue and at the same time give them another clean with a wire brush. it seems Wheels in Motion is required anyway - if not for balancing then alignment anyway. though i can't get any of this done...

    Balancing, alignment or something else?

    The wheels had been freshly refurbed before i picked them up - couldn't see anything obvious. I don't personally know anyone with the same car locally to swap and check. Anyone around East London area wanting to help out?

    Balancing, alignment or something else?

    Hi all, apologies for what could be the vagueness of this message but maybe looking for some direction before spending any unnecessary money. I picked up my W208 with some wider than necessary wheels, which meant the previous owner had 15mm spacers on them. Turning corners and handling was a...

    CLK 320 Key

    so long as the circuit board itself isn't damaged, swapping the casing isn't a tough job at all. There's a few videos around that show how you can change the circuit board by destroying the original casing (yours is luckily already destroyed so no harm done) and there's even a way to change the...
