Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

NO!

I think there is with all of the 3.5 "Shortstars" I will go through about a quart every 3000 miles. Have for the 70 thousand miles I have driven my 2000 Rich
--Yes there is an issue with oil consumption with the 3.5-liter. I have seen and heard of average consumptions to be as much as 1 quart per 1,000 miles.

Well you definatly need to get your trunk open before you can see whats going on with the top.

you will need to make sure that the partition cover in the trunk is pulled forward and latched into the switch, the soft top will not open if that is not latched.

This question is asked many times by Mercedes Benz owners. There are many examples given in online videos and in chat sites. The answer varies with the model and year of the car. The very best way to achieve this goal is to go to a Mercedes Benz dealer and ask them to do it.

I live in Florida and may have to evacuate because of a huricane. I got in my car just now and my check engine light is on..Will I be able to drive 2 days without injury to my beautiful car??

Worried in Florida,Linda

The answer to both the original question and the misplaced plea by Linda is the same. Go to the dealership now and have the issue looked at. Especially Linda in Florida should not get on the road in a vehicle that might break down and cause a traffic backup in the middle of a hurricane evacuation.

Sometimes the service light doesn't get reset by a non-dealer mechanic, if you have had the service done the dealership will still reset your service light. Just ask nicely.

Are you talking about the brake lights? You cant replace any LEDs, you just have to replace the carrier of which ever assembly is out.

This depends on the model and year of the car. Some models have a different variations of the key with different features. Call your local Mercedes dealer to find out.

Additionally, from experience I learned that it can be far better to order key through dealer. The key is custom made using YOUR car's VIN#. These keys are laser cut and precision is critical and can be difficult for locksmiths. Also, the cost can actually be MORE to have key made by someone other than Mercedes dealer.

[ ex. after tax my replacement from local locksmith was over $37 , it would have been just over $20 through dealer ] some have been charged for the same key $50-$60 range]. BUT , as I was unaware of laser cutting issues, my locks ended up not working with a bad cut , which cost me the replacement of door lock, which was significantly more.

This is for the manual passenger seat only! This area is hard to see/discover with the seat installed. I used a mirror and looking under the back of the seat/bottom you can see a 'Flipper'(one right and one left actually), it's easy to see how they move while operating the bar in the front. These 'Flippers' have 3 short rods per track that they pull toward the middle line of the seat. I say they look like nails since in any position at least one(1)of them will not be all the way down and will stick up looking like a nailhead, but the other two will(usually) be down. I have found that these Flippers get bent out of shape and cannot retract these "nails" all the way toward the centerline of the seat. Rebend these flippers so that they can fully retract the nails. If you are just trying to get the seat to move so you can get it out of the car, looking under the back of the seat, locate these flippers and pry them so that they draw/pull all of their(3)nailheads toward the centerline of the seat. When all three nailheads on each side are equal "height" the seat should be moveable. Now if I could only figure out why the seatbelts are fully retracted into the seat and won't release! But I'm betting I'll figure this one out this morning! I think an application of voltage(car battery) to the orange and the black wire is the cure. We shall see!(cue: evil laugh)"MUUAHA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

First make sure your trunk is clear of obstructions and the capacity shield that limits the height of things in your trunk is in place. As you know the shield works to allow for the roof mechanism to have room in the trunk to work. Without this shield in place you can get some strange reactions from the roof mechanisms including activating the roll bars.

All you need to do is disconnect one of the battery terminals for like 5 minutes..a lil more if you think you deid not wait long enough. reconnecvt the battery terminal and wait like one or two minutes for all the lights on the dash to go away. that's a master reset. Good Luck

Six plugs are fitted to this engine

Try putting gas in it : ) or if it was involved in a collision the fuel cut off switch may be set. also the electronic ignition switch is known for issues.

Every 10,000 miles, but some shops suggest more like 8,000 may be better.

eight cylinders but uses 16 spark plugs

The brake light switch is located on the brake pedal assembly.

1. Remove the cover below the instrument panel

2. Remove the electrical connector.

3. On the switch their is a locking tab the prevents rotation. Press the "tab" and rotate the switch 90 degrees.

4. Remove switch.

We Have 2 CLK's the CLK 220 CDI Coupe AMG sports & the CLK 230 avantgarde Kompressor convertible. Both drive well and are comfortable. Both have been reliable and easy to drive. The coupe returns an average of 40mpg and the 230 around 30mpg. Tyres are expensive as low profiles. Fog lamps get damaged easily and are expensive to repair. My wife's 230 has had the wing mirror hit and again parts are expensive. We would both say we would not drive anything else as we love these cars.

Let me add, I am the owner of a 2001 CLK 320 convertible and I love my car. The rule is "If it isn't raining, the top is down." I really enjoy the CLK. Of course a 2001 model doesn't come with Bluetooth or some of the other more modern audio accessories, but it comes with a great radio and speaker system, fully automatic windows (including using your key) and leather interior. So, it's 11 years old, they wouldn't give me a loan on it because it is too old and they are too hung-up, but it is mine now and I love it.

There should be a button by in the center column area where the window buttons are. Also, if it is an unlocked position you should just be able to push the circle in where you would normally stick the key in. This pops it too!
