Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

there isn't one. it locks with the door locks. unlocks when doors are unlocked. doesn't pop open you do it by pushing in the door on the front side.

Pop the hood and look behind the cover for the left side of the air filter. You will see a black cap that is popped off from underneath by moving a plastic piece around the metal fill tube. The plastic piece covers two-thirds of the metal fill tube. Reminder: do not attempt to yank the black cap off from above without sliding the plastic piece out of the way. The plastic piece moves in one direction only to come off. Otherwise, it holds on for dear life. Best to you.

I use Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil it is recommended for 5K miles but i still change at 3K. I do too but go to 5-8K change interval under normal service conditions . Please be aware that Mobil 1 is a synthetic oil as the base oil is made by polymerization of alpha olefins so the molecular chains are relatively linear and not significantly branched so there are few secondary carbon atoms . Secondary and tertiary carbon atoms are sources of chain scission therefore changing the lubrication properties of the oil . Many other brands of "synthetic" oils are refined from crude oil and simple dehydrowaxed to remove the residual parafin waxy materials so they flow well at low temperatures . They contain much higher levels of branching thus higher levels of secondary and tertiary carbon atoms . At a 3K oil change interval the presence of branching is much less a factor but at extended service life , is a consideration . Oils made from polymerization of alpha olefins typically allow lower viscosity by stopping the polymerization at the desired molecular weight and will generally have much tighter molecular weight distribution than oils refined from crude . Note many race engine engineers specify Mobil 1 . This answer from someone who has no affiliation with ExxonMobil but experience developing synthetic lubricants for non-automotive applications .

how do i locate the coil pack on a 1998 Mercedes c200

If you don't know what you're doing, then you should take it to a reputable mechanic before you damage your car or get hurt. A/C systems are easy to destroy.

no no n no

The MB 320 engine has NO dipstick! Oil level is monitored and shown on the digital portion of the dash instruments.

should be up and under the drivers side dash panel towards the left side.

The bulbs are accessible under the trunk lid. They are behind the plastic parts shielding the bulbs.

However, you could also do it my way.

1. Drive to the Mercedes Benz Dealership

2. Greet the friendly service manager

3. Ask them to change the bulb

4. Enjoy a cup of coffee and glossy magazine while you wait.

5. Pay the friendly service manager a modest amount

6. Drive off with new bulbs installed.

All Mercedes model cars should only use synthetic DOT4 brake fluid

yes

You can get a 2004 Mercedes-Benz fuse panel diagram at most Mercedes-Benz dealerships. You can also get the diagram from Mercedes-Benz service manuals.

Take it to an authorised M-B repairer who shall diagnose the fault (if present) and clear the fault from the history. It is a common myth that M-B Main dealers are money grabbing but in reality they have the M-B trained technicians that are working on these vehicles day in- day out. In the long run they will save you money: Independent garages will charge lower rates but take longer..do the math!

The pilot bushing holds the input shaft. A worn bushing will allow the shaft to wobble and wear out the front gear box seal. Leaking gear oil into the clutch bell housing. The result will be a clutch that at first smells bad and eventually the clutch will slip and not work or at worst case cause a fire. Answer could be very dangerous.

There are 8 spark plugs.

This answer is in error. There may be 8 for the V-8, but I'm seeing 2 plugs per cylinder on the V-6. Three coils, each bank with 2 plug wires out of each one. Total 12 plugs fro the V-6

The speed sensor on a CLK 320 is located on the transmission. It is plugged in just behind the bell housing.

Read the owners manual. Or go to the nearest Auto shop.

Yours is one of the most popular questions on the Internet. And there are lots of answers. As you have stated in your question you understand the need for detail. When you continue to seek out this answer on the web be sure to keep the information you have given and add the year of the car.

The best way to reset the service indicator on any Mercedes Benz is to drive to the dealership and ask them to reset the service indicator. I am sure they will be glad to see you and be anxious to meet your needs. They might suggest a service routine for your vehicle. You are free to accept their offer or not.

The oil is removed from the top of the engine as opposed to the bottom of the car. Need to use an oil vacuum to remove the oil through the oil filler. The oil filter is on the top and should be changed when you change the oil. The above methodology will work, however, cheapest, most effective way is to simply drain from drainplug on bottom of engine...just like most other engines. Dealer will verify.

Try this...

In the centre console where the radio and sat nav is (Nowhere near the actual clock) click on:

Serv - System - Time - use your up and down arrows and press ok and you see the hands on the clock start to move.

I have a CLK and that's how you change mine - it took me about an hour sat in the car pressing everything and I have the manual, it's just not in there!

If you have VIN number you can call the dealer of record, prove you are the owner and they will provide it.

CREATES A MESS, and gives you a false reading of oil level
