Hello everyone, brand new to the forum and would welcome any advise.
Just acquired a 2005 CLK350 for what i thought was good money with 87k miles... That was until I noticed the "balance shaft issues due to defective sprockets/parts that wear out prematurely.
Hands up, should have done my...
My fiancée came up with the great idea of going halves on a new daily driver - this seemed like a good plan to me! We wanted something comfortable with a large - or relatively large - V6 or V8 petrol engine mated to a torque converter auto gearbox. My fiancée was at first bit reticent about...
Hi
I took my 2006 CLK350 petrol for service, and asked if they could take a look at transmission fluid level. When the car is cold first thing in morning, for the first 100 yards or so the car revs but seems to stick in low gear. It then frees itself, and no further problems during the day...
Afternoon all, seems like my car has a common issue for M272 / M273 engines (lots on the web about it) but I couldn't find anything in the forum archives here.
I've got the check engine light on my CLK350, 55 plate and the OBDII reader shows P2006. It used to come back every 200 miles or so...
Hi All
My car is making this annoying ticking noise from the rear drivers side, sounds like it's coming from the driveshaft area.
Sounds like something is lose and hitting the drive shaft.
The noise is only heard when parked up or driving very slowly.
When idle if engine is revved then ticking...

Hi All,
I've just got my first Mercedes - a 2009 CLK350 Convertible and am *loving* it :-)
However, I have a few questions:-
1. It has no CDC (I've ordered what I think is the right one), and wondered if the loom will be there, or if I need to order optical leads too?
2. Where can I get Wind...
Hi folks, I decided I couldn't stand the Audio20 in my CLK and swapped it for an Alpine ILX-700 CarPlay unit at the weekend. I wanted to try installing it myself ready for a few hours driving the following day.
I used the Connects2 installation kit for the W209 and the install seemed to go...
I just got a 2006 CLK which is in really good condition, so good that I would like to see about fixing the few minor things I've noticed...
1) Somehow the dimpled aluminium interior trim pieces that run along the driver/passenger door panels have both got several marks on them. Anyone know...
My 2006 Mercedes CLK350 Cabriolet has a problem with the rear headrests. The mechanism which raises and locks the headrests into the “risk of rollover” position works well and I recently had to lower them both after a non-Mercedes garage set them off by jacking the car.
The problem is with the...
Good afternoon all,
Newbie here - I signed up yesterday and have already registered to attend the Benz on the Green event in May. Looking forward to it.
I have a mint 2008 CLK 350 Sport Cabriolet in Chromite Black with tan leather. I love it - bought it last year with 32k on the clock. It's...
Hi all,
Clk350 cab and I as looking to get an AMG style quad system put in. I took to a very reputable bespoke exhaust builders and hey said they couldn't do it due to the spare wheel - the CLK's that have (63 etc) don't have the spare wheel so they fit properly.
Some companies like CKS...
Hello list,
I would like to replace my lower grill.
Does any body know how to remove the lower grill. I have the WIS disc and there appears to be nothing there on how to do this on my CLK350.
It shows how to remove the whole bumper?
I'm thinking of adding the AMG style grill.

Hi Guys,
I have a CLK350 which I got the other day. Its got some 18" 22 spoke turbines on it ( I think that's the name) which I'm pretty sure are from an SL rather than a CLK.
I would quite like to put it back on the original 17's as being a convertible for me its about comfort and the...
Hi Guys,
New to the forum, I've just acquired (for want of a better word) a 2005 CLK350 Convertible, which from reading up about them appears to be an early one.
I took it as part X against my M5, Its not something I had really considered before but I actually rather like it and the other...

Hello,
my CLK350, 2006, cab, W209 did come with seat heating, nor the buttons on the dashboard. The seats are full leather with no pinholes. Can seat heating be retrofitted either MB original or non original. If non original, can MB original buttons be installed and used?
I know that a non...
