clk 230
Hi all, any help & advice would be appreciated!!

I have a 2001 clk230 kompressor coupe, no problems with it at all until now. Every now & then when I put the key in the ignition it won't turn at all. When it happens I usually just leave it alone and the next day it will be fine but it's now happened twice in the last week.

I've read a couple of posts on other forums that suggest it may be the key fob itself???
 
From what I understand it could be the key itself or the E.I.S. (electronic ignition switch) failing. If I was in your position I'd do one or the other - get a new key £150-£220 or have a Merc specialist try to diagnose the exact cause of the fault.
 
If you need a key system get in touch as I have one breaking and with the euro it could work out cheaper for you
 
We had a similar issue with our 2001 C- class when it was only a year old. Neither key would work. Dealer insisted on getting new keys which much to their surprise did not solve the problem. Who has heard of both keys failing at exactly the same time? Anyway needed a new ignition switch. Your best bet is to get a specialist to look at it.
