Another Day, Another electrical glitch!

Looks like another sensor has decided to throw a wobbly this morning! The outside temperature was all over the place this morning.

Well unless it was actually 30 degrees C on the M25 this morning

Can anyone tell me where the sensor is located on a CLK55 (209)? Just in case it's come loose or got something wrapped round it. Thanks.

Off Topic, but another query. My radio has a habit of going quiet from time to time, then coming back up to volume, almost like the phone is about to ring. Any idea's, or is it possible to upgrade the Comand software and see if that fixes it??

Not sure if it's same, here is for US model W209 Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum

I think it's located behind the bumper, lower front LHS. Am pretty sure that's where mine is on the 211. I stand corrected if it isn't!

How long. If its short blip and you have the phone system, the phone system can cause this if there is an unread SMS message on the phone connected to it.

Thanks for the replies. Can't access the US forum without an account however..

Strangely enough, it seemed to behave on the way home. I may check it out when I get the chance and see if it's come loose or something.

Richard, it's about a 30 sec dimming of the volume, gradually then comes back up. I actually have a Viseeo MB1000 which doesn't support text. Would that still have an effect??

That is not the effect caused by the phone system - sounds strange !!

There is a speed dependant volume control on some cars, I wonder whether that is causing the issue somehow - is it at all speed related ??
