Fault Code Reader / Reseter

[Japtastic]

I have the engine light illuminated on my CLK 2.3 Komp, 2000 X reg, is there a fairly cheap way of checking what the fault is, I'll be servicing the car my self so it would be something I'd like to keep, I'd also like to be able clear the service messages...

Many Thanks to anyone that can help

Any one?

To be honest, there's no reliable cheap method of thoroughly reading/diagnosing and resetting faults on MB cars as new as this. For the amount of time you'd be likely to need this service, you'd be better of visiting a decent indepentant garage for this.

Still doesn't stop you from carrying out the majority of routine servicing and repairs though

The fault codes can be read by anyone though, the aircon man that sorted out my car's condenser last year had some kit for it, although we didn't find out much.

Still not cheap though (as in for the DIY-er!)

Well that's a shame...

Probably just a sensor somewhere, I found a draper tool for the service reset here http://www.abbeypowertools.co.uk/store/car-service-tools/car-fault-code-readers/draper-osr-merc-mercedes-service-indicat/showitem10275-69006.aspx

and a reader here on ebay, but my CLK 230 is not listed so I doubt it would work...

You don't need the service resetter it is done via the dashboard. Perform a search on this forum for the procedure.
