cl500

All the electrics have stopped working in the drivers door following a flat battery and recharge. Most likely would seem to be the loom where it passes into the door but it looks untouched and the sheath is perfect. Is there a door control module in the door that might have failed? Any help...

What Ho People!? I have recently acquired a 2000 CL500 land barge for some reason unknown to me ahaha. I am currently turning it into a pickup truck because a Hilux just doesn't float my boat... but as the CL is a barge it floats quite nicely ahah!! Its gunna have a jaguar XJS rear...

Having had the car for nearly 3 months, I really love the serene waft and open airiness of the car - very light inside and a great car to drive. It's been a real tonic to the E55K and has seen my driving behaviour improve to levels of patience I don't think I've ever seen before. But for those...

Hi, I just drove from Glasgow to Liverpool to pick up a 2009, cl500, car is stunning and test drive etc was perfect, however after around 50 miles and in traffic i noticed a whining sound that went with revs, i stopped later for a break and when i started it again it was all good, however when...

Hi Gang, Last week I bought a new car, a Porsche 911. The CL500 is now surplus to requirements, as nice a car as it is I just can't see it getting used much now. Brief details are: 2000/W CL500 Brilliant Silver Metallic Anthracite black leather interior 74k miles with full service...

I noticed some of the bolts on the Suspension arms have that crinkle cut. Are these TX E or some call them Torx bolt heads? I.e. Do I need the female socket for these. [e.g. E20, E22 and E24??] Other question, can one buy genuine MB small components for the brake calipers? I.e. the metal...

Hi guys. I'm after your opinion on my dilemma. I want my 500 to sound a bit more "ballsy" as I think it's a bit too refined in its exhaust sound, but I don't want to go over the top. Would CL65 back boxes or a cross over pipe make it sound better? I love a V8 burble ang growl.

Hi All During a recent pad and disc change on my 2005 CL500 we found that both rear calipers had seized pistons. I've sourced and replaced the O/S caliper but the N/S is proving almost impossible to source. I've had an order in with MB Oxford for nearly 2 months now and they say that...

As with most electrical problems this seems to be the usual pain in the rear. I've had my 01 cl500 about 8 weeks and had the battery go flat twice. Long story short I charged it the 1st time and was ok for about 4 weeks. No reason why it went flat as far as I'm aware( all lights etc off) last...

Hi All I've fallen in love with the CL500 (2007 onwards) and have just been given the green light for the missus to get one (sad isn't it!) I'm new to MB ownership so have some daft questions: What is the difference between W216 and C216? Am I right to assume that if the seats have the...

I'm looking to change the wiper blades on my C216 CL500. Previously I have used the Valeo blades which have worked really well and near silently on my past BMWs but I can only find a Bosch pair for the CL. Has anyone tried these or do you recommend any other brands (and where to buy!)?

Hi folks, got a squeak on front of CL500, figured it might be ball joints Car in with dealer at the moment, they are saying both lower control arms need replacing at £180 EACH + 4 hours labour Seems mighty expensive to me, can any experts confirm that's not a good price thanks :)

Passenger seat belt is totally extended and won't retract back in.(2001 CL 500) I've read a lot of posts about this problem and there seems to be a lot of conflicting advice about how to fix it. Some say it is a electrical contact that need cleaning, others say the seat belt needs replacing. I...

Hello people, Iv been advised i need to replace my Hydropneumatic suspension damper n/s/r. Should I replace both rear ones or just the one thats needed? Can anyone point in to the right direction for refurbished one? there are lots advertised in the states, are they compatible for UK models...

Hello fellow MB folks, my CL500 has flashed up the dreaded red warning sign " ABC Defective, drive carefully". I've checked the reservoir and levels seem ok on the dipstick,oil is dark green/ light brown colour, checked for leaks near the pump and four corners but found none. No odd noises, I'm...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get a definitive answer about ECU coding. I think I may have damaged my ECU Ref: 113 153 30 79 when I allowed water to get into the ECU after I (stupidly) pressure washed the car at the weekend forgetting I had left the RHS cover of the SAM/ECU box! Then I started...
