    Exhaust ratle

    My CLK 55 has a rattle under the passenger side front seat or there abouts. I am told it is a cat converter that can be removed and left out. I initially thought it was a heat shield, but when you tap the mid box you hear the rattle. The CLK exhaust system splits at this point under the car and...

    w208 Mirror indicator

    Hi my near side mirror indicator has stopped working. There is no impact on the indicator blinking frequency on the front and rear indicator that you get when a bulb is out at the front or rear. I have dismantled the mirror and ensured all the wires are connected. Could a fuse be causing...

    Hi, Are there any happy GL500 owners out there??? I have a 2006 GL 500 and so far the engine has been stripped due to a camshaft error, brake callipers replaced as seized, secondary blower replaced and now the gearbox needs to be dropped out to replace seals! Parking sensors are faulty but then...

    E55

    Hi, I own and love my w208 CLK55, but the family is getting bigger and I am considering an E55 or E63. I love the CLK55, but it hurts noticing the rust bubbles even with a lot of continual waxing and general tlc including overnight and weekend garaging. Please let me know of any known...

    Air Con Evaporator

    Just had the Air Con tested on my w208 55 to be told there is a very small leak but not obvious in the engine bay, so the guy believes it is the evaporator behind the dash. What is involved to remove the evaporator to repair/replace? thanks Ian

    Rear boots

    I have put Falkens on the back of my 55 for the past 2 years but I am not getting many miles, what do most people get out of rear boots. I find the rear gives way a lot when the tyres are going off, the triangle flashes even on motorways when taking long corners at a reasonable speed. All...

    AMG wheels

    Hi, I am considering a refurb of my AMG wheels and considering an anthracite colour on my W208 CLK. Has anybody tried this or know whether it suits the car? My car is a wonderful deep blue and I thought this new wheel colour would work well, I am keen to get other opinion. Thanks Ian

    Jerky down shift on my beloved 208 CLK55

    I have read many of the threads regarding lumpy gear changes etc. but have not found one that meets my experience with the car. Basically the gear change is quite abrupt when changing up at speed or when the car changes down. If you press hard done on the accelerator, it goes down the gears ok...

    Temperature readings - CLK55 W208

    My external temperature gauge is providing some spurious readings as I live in N. Ireland and apparently my external temperature has touched 38 which then drops quite quickly to the high twenty's which again is not common in my neck of the woods. I have just had the air-con re-gassed and...

    Driver Side Wing Mirror

    Guys, I am having a bit of nightmare as I had my wing mirror demolished by something protruding from a passing car that didn't stop. Can anybody suggest the best place to get a replacement at the best price? I will get a car bodyshop nearby to paint and fit. Thanks Ian
