Well after having taken it back on a number of occasions we still can't get to the bottom of the problem ? Every time I turn left and there is stress on the driver side front wheel round a corner you'll get a squealing sound for a few revolutions. It sounded originally like the brakes but...

My CLK recently needed replacmenet lower ball joints for the MOT. However since then, when I turn the car (especially to the left) you always hear a squeaking sound. It's getting annoying now. The mechanic who did the work said it was the brakes. Thing is it never made the sounds before...

Yep ok I'm going to drop the car off tomorrow and I'm going to say I want a proper working battery in there, whether it be my one or a new one. If they charge up the old one and they get it working that's upto them but I will expect it to work. I reckon they'll charge it up and then say...

Yes I agree, but that's all that they offered me for now. They take the car in, charge it up and then test it. It'd probably be cheaper for them to stick a new battery in there but if they want to go down that path it's upto them. If a new battery is only £50 then I'm tempted to sod it as...

Just been down the dealership. At first they claimed that they wouldn't have had to take the battery off when they did the work? They clearly had as my Radio was security locked and needed a code when I picked it up. Anyhow after speaking to a technician the lady said the battery may...

2001 CLK200K The Mercedes part number directly points to an Bosch S6 which is 95Ah. They don't make a 100Ah one now ? On the basis of the car it goes to a a smaller one S5 I think

Well GSF actually stated me a smaller Bosch battery for the spec of the car which was around £60. I think this must be the same one that Costco do ? On the MB part no, it is a far bigger a battery 35x18x19.

Yes, that is what I have done but I was expecting this to be sorted yesterday. My car didn't start this morning, which now causes me further issues and they still haven't got back to me today. I can't even bring my car into them now without either jump starting and leaving it on their doorstep...

The car didn't start this morning and is parked up at home and the dealer hasn't got back to me since yesterday. I don't want the battery to completely die on me and then I can't open the boot etc I've read that can be a nightmare as well. New battery is £100 from GSF Bosch but that is...

OK if I replace the battery, do I have to reset the car electronics in some way ? I hear the BAS lights come on and the windows need resetting etc How on earth do you sort that ?

Still waiting for them to get back to me. I noticed that the negative terminal on the battery had a mass of blue build up all over it and on the connector itself. Is this normal or could this be causing the problem ?

Have called them and they are investigating it now. Told them I needed it sorted today as I can;t have an unusable car. I drove the car to Birmingham and back at the weekend and it's being used daily so it really should have charged up if it was a good battery. Looks like it's shot and not...

I'll give them a call. It was a MB Dealership !!! Just down the road from my workplace. If not I'll pop down there at lunchtime. Just one thing I noticed on this battery it has a small pipe coming out it attached to the body. It looks like it carries liquid. What on earth is that ? The...

Well my CLK's just been in the body shop for five weeks for the rust work to be sorted. When I got it back all the radio codes needed re-entering. Few days later I find the car is struggling to start and the battery warning lamp lights up as it turns over (very, very slowly). No doubt...

What's waxoil ?

Ok got it back today. Looks ok. They had sprayed it with water before they brought it round to me which made me a bit suspicious at first. The shades didn't look out though and it looks pretty nice. Will inspect more closely at the weekend in the daytime. The total bill for the work and...

It comes back tomorrow. Spoke to the bodyshop and he said it had gone well. Apparently where they had to treat it, takes time. Not sure I believe that after 5 weeks but as long as they have done the job to perfecto standards I'll be happy.

We're now in the 5th week :( They told me it was arriving at the dealership last friday....still hasn't happened. What is going on ?

That's quick ! Mines been in for over 3 weeks now.

Been 3 weeks now. Looks like it's going to be 4 at least. Wow, this is a long job ?
