I just noticed that the top-coat lacqeur is 'missing' on the lower edge of both my rear wheel arches of my W207 cabriolet 2015 (42,00 miles). I took the car into a local paint shop today and, showing the paint guy, I said I suspected that a defective earlier paint job had caused this loss of...

I have a 2015 A207 E-Class E220 BlueTec AMG-line Cabriolet 2015 turbo-diesel auto. When the engine is cold I experience slight 'hesitations' as I accelerate for about the first half mile after which it clears as the engine warms up. I have put a pot of injector cleaner and another of turbo...

My a209 boot (trunk) latch handle will not unlock when unlocking the general car central locking on the remote fob. It will, however, release correctly both when I press the dedicated ‘boot only’ button on the fob and also pressing the button on the drivers door. This only started in the past...

CLK 350 (W209) Convertible, 2006, Following windscreen replacement the vehicle’s ‘climate control’ (Thermatic) malfunctions when the ‘auto’ setting is selected (and once engine coolant is heated) - it:
 - increases cabin fan-speed to ‘quite high’ within a few moments after selecting ‘auto’ with...

I have a single failed front parking sensor on my W209 CLK320 and thought (hoped) it would be a simple job to replace. Garage says they will have to remove front bumper to be able to access space to do the replacement. Clearly a much bigger job than I expected (=££). Has any member a better...

I have a CLK 350 (W209) cabriolet. The manual opening (release) handle on the boot will now suddenly not work when the rest of the car locks are opened on the normal "all open" button on the remote control. Please - any ideas?? To clarify: - The boot lock opens fine when either the boot release...

When my CLK 350 is parked outside in heavy rain it gets a build-up of, at least, a good tablespoon full of rain water "somewhere" in the front area (bow) of the soft top roof. This does not drip into the car whilst it is stationery, but shows itself as a good deluge of water onto my passenger's...

Because my 2006 CLK350 Cabrio will be spending 6-8 weeks sitting in a car park whilst I'm away, I decided to get myself a solar battery charger that will trickle charge @ 7.75 watts and 14v in sun or cloud (they say!). Resting it on the top of the dash is the logical position. However, as the...

On my 2006 CLK350 Cabrio, the passenger side wiper blade 'misses' wiping a portion of the screen with each pass. I have changed blades (new Valeo now fitted) but there is still the missed portion. The wiper arm appears fine, spring intact etc, and I have lubed both the arm and blade pivots...

I took delivery of a 2006 CLK350 a couple of weeks ago. As part of the purchase, the supplying (non-MB) vehicle dealer carried out a service (oil & filter plus brake pads and fluid) - I presume much like a regular A-Service. However, despite giving me an itemised receipted bill for the service...

I have recently purchased a 2006 CLK350 Elegance cabriolet. I am told that the main 12v car battery has not been changed since '06 which probably means it is into it's last season of use and I don't want to be caught out. I have a suspicion that the dealer may have changed the battery at the...
