- 2006 CLK320 CDi
Hi All,
Giving more and more serious thought to a CLK series MB
As some of you know I have owned both the 270 and 320 Cdi Diesel engines in various cars.
The 270 Cdi is tried and tested mated to the trusty 5 speed box but the very latest in the CLK form was 2005/6
The 320 Cdi has the later 7 speed box (which some don't like) but was available right up till the end of the CLK model range in 2009
I know early 7 speed boxes had "issues" (allegedly).
Have the later 2008/9 versions had "issues" ironed out?
Basically I would like opinions on which version to go for..
A late as possible CLK270 Cdi or a late as possible CLK320 Cdi..
Its been a while since I have been on here regularly so I need a refresher course in whats what Merc wise.
Thanks in advance,
