No, it went away on it's own. Only happened on hot days so if it re-appears this summer I'll need to get it sorted.

I'm selling my CLK430. It is a year 2000 model, facelift A208 shape, just coming up to 118k miles, MOT until November 2023, price £2950. I'm based in Hampshire between Hindhead and Bordon. Hope this is OK, I've listed it on a certain auction website and provided the link below with full...

Thank for the info. I've checked my multimeter, it isn't a Sealey model but the spec is identical (i.e. the 10amp socket is unfused), so I'll give a go using that. I assumed the electric seat issue would be common to MB's of this era, but if not, are there any common causes specific to the A208...

I suspect something might be draining the battery slightly on my A208 CLK430. I've just fitted a new battery as the old one was wasn't the correct spec and was of unknown age, but the voltage is still dropping slightly after the car has been standing for a week. I read up on how to check for a...

Good luck hope you get this sorted, I'm fed up with faceless corporate greed separating us from our cash whilst supplying rubbish products and poor customer service. Don't let them get away with it!

I remember years ago seeing anti-squeal shims on the shelves of the local autoparts shop. A quick google shows that you can still get them, they should be cheap enough that it'd be worth a punt: EBC Brakes - ASK1 - ANTI SQUEAL SHIM KIT (Bagged)

Eisenmann rear muffler exhaust for sale, fits the CLK 430. I'm selling because it requires a bumper cut in order to sit in place correctly and I decided to keep my bumper unmodified. I trial fitted (without the bumper cut) to my convertible CLK, it sounded great but didn't sit correctly and...

I've got Avons on my CLK, I've had them on other cars in the past as well and always been happy with them.

Hi all, The brake pedal in my 2000 CLK430 doesn't return upwards when the interior of the car is hot. The braking action is fine, the car stops exactly as it should, but the pedal won't return and needs a nudge with my left foot. It is directly related to the interior temperature of the car...

Yes, but not sure it would cover this situation

Thanks for your replies, yes it was on level ground and no oil has been added. Looks like I'll be taking a painfully slow drive to get it checked properly!

I tried checking the gearbox oil level today, but struggled making sense of the reading. I intend to take it to a Merc specialist but it's going to be a real pain getting there at 20mph all the way, so I was hoping to see a low fluid level - meaning I could top it up to get out of limp mode and...

So the brake lights are working fine, next I have a dipstick on it's way so will check that in the next couple of days. I'm happy to get it booked in for proper check over and oil service, I just don't fancy the 20 mile drive to PCS in limp mode!

I'll check the brake lights this evening. The car is year 2000. Mileage is around 114k, I don't know if/when it was last serviced. Is there a recommended interval or is it supposedly a 'sealed for life' unit?

My CLK430's gearbox has decided to stop shifting gear properly. I can select drive and reverse, but there's a bit of a jolt when selecting, and then it seems to be stuck in 1st and I can't manually select any gears either. I assume this is some kind of 'limp home mode'? I first noticed it last...

Nice to see another CLK430, I'm not sure if there are that many around these days. Any chance you could post a link to this thread, I couldn't find it using search?

I've recently been thinking about checking out some cars for sale as well, but the UK Gov't website literally says 'Stay at home - Do not leave your home unless necessary'. For me it is not necessary, so I'll leave it for now. For others who don't have a working car but are in need of one, it...

Ta very much!

Can anyone point me towards an online MB parts catalogue?
