Hi, I am a Newbie to the forum and to Mercedes. This weekend I bought a 2005 A209 CLK 200 Kompressor. For my first Mercedes I am very pleased with the quality and feel and hope it will be a reliable car. BUT, I have noticed a steady stream of White / Grey smoke from the exhaust when holding the throttle at around 2000 rpm. The obvious worry (to me) is the supercharger or Head gasket (from reading various posts). I just wondered if anybody could give me some advice that might put my mind at ease. I bought from a car dealer and before I go back to them thought I would visit a Merc Specialist to get a proper opinion and or healthcheck. I am hoping for the best outcome here but fear the worst.
Incidentally the smoke is not always visible at tickover !
Any welcoming thoughts and opinions appreicated. Thank you
