Ian, Makes sense, I believe the car takes 1ltr and so it looks like it takes 2 "turkey baster's" to do a whole change but as you say it is easier and less messier.....time to order a Baster!!! I have the fluid, bought it from local LINCO a few days ago. Thanks again HH

Thanks for the reply. I had seen this method but thought it would be better to do a flush but its good to hear from someone that uses it with success. I have a question...when carrying out No.5 do I replace the reservoir cap? Cheers HH

Hi all, Absolutely loving this site and it has helped me carry out a few jobs on my W209 V6 350 Cabrio. My next job is to flush to power steering fluid using this guys method.. My question is, can anyone tell me the size of the Low Pressure return pipe to the pump as I need to make sure I...

Anyone know of any good You Tube Channels by Mercedes owners (preferably CLK W809). I subscribe to a few other makes, Ford Sierra Cosworth etc. Cheers HH

So...Any Mercedes Indy's near(ish) to Sth Lincs that would be able to help me with this?

It Read the intake manifold code and this was fixed and so I assume any other codes would have appeared as well. Just spoken with Autotronics who told me that they loaded "donor" software from another cluster onto mine and it worked, EML light came on etc. Obviously this "donor" software showed...

Hi, it is a Dec 2005 and so is in the range but fortunately I had the car put on STAR system and it did not show balance shaft issues, it did show the Intake Manifold issue (P0106 & P2006 which I had done) and also UO155 (which is communication with instrument panel) which is the EML light...

One of the faults I was not aware of when I bought this car (W209 CLK 350 Cabrio.) was that the EML light was not coming on. I sent the cluster away to Autotronics who have diagnosed that someone has tampered with it via the EEPROM? and they are not able to fix it as they can only fix hardware...

Hi All, the VIN for my 350 v6 CLK is WDB209456T056674 would someone be able to check this for me so I will have an idea what I am in for? Its on 94k and FSH

Thanks Blobsta, I assumed that was the case. Just got to find someone to fix it now!

On mine it is an option in the settings (350 CLK Cabrio)

Hi everyone, I have an issue with my CLK 350 W209 in that when I turn on the ignition the EML (Engine Management Light) does not illuminate and then go out like it has done on my other cars. Before I begin to investigate could someone reassure me that the EML light should illuminate for a...

Hi, need to change all 4 tyres on the 350 v6 CLK. Its my first Mercedes so what tyre are people using, looking for recommendations. The car has a mixture of tyres at the moment. Thanks HH

Hi Chess, Glad you managed to get it sorted and I agree about the value of the car against cost of repair, Can anyone recommend a good indy for the Sth Lincs/North Cambs area?

Afternoon all, Still getting used to the car and spent a little time looking at the roof and how it works and I have noticed a couple of things: When I open the roof all 4 windows lower which I assume is normal but once roof is down and rear hatch is secure they do not raise again..is this...

Titus, I do plan to in future, they charge £150.00 and so while they have it they may as well do it this time. They are doing gearbox as well. This should be most of the major jobs done and then I will have to tackle the non working lumbar seats and the clicking near the O/S/R wheel. Cheers HH

Hi all, So had my local Indy pop the car on the STAR diagnostic system and it has provided: 1916 B28 P0106 - Pressure Sensor: Implausible value - Current & Stored 2071 B14 U0155 Ambient temperature display temperature sensor - Stored 2226 The left fuel sensor has a short circuit to ground -...

Unimog, how pricey is pricey? Edit to add....MOT is from 01.06.2019 Edit to further add....any ideas on this "I understand that P0106 is the MAP sensor and I did perform the visual check for the balance shaft by taking off what I thought were cam shaft position sensors but are these also...

Hi, Thanks for the replies... car is on 94K and drives and pulls really well, the visual check for the Balance Shaft came back good. I have had the car for a couple of weeks but bought it privately so no come back there I am afraid! I knew it has some issues but not these ones!!!!...If it is...

Hi, Many thanks for taking the time out to reply. There are no warning lights on the dash at all, in fact the EML light doesn't illuminate and go off when the key is 1st turned, is this normal? If not I am now concerned that maybe the previous owner disabled it to disguise something? I have...
