#62 of 98 iPOD for 2004 CLK500 by mikewdc Apr 09, 2007 (5:43 pm)
I read that Mercedes has an iPod integration kit for certain models 2004 and later. Does anyone know if this will work with a 2004 CLK500 (with 6-CD changer)? Anyone have any experience with it? Thanks!

Also, turn the ESP (stability control) OFF. Sometimes you need to be able to spin the tires to get out of a snowdrift, etc.
#64 of 98 2002 CLK320 Air Conditioner FAN by daisy10 Apr 18, 2007 (12:55 pm)
My air conditioner cooling fan will not shut off even when the unit is turned off and the car is turned off. Anyone have that problem? A fix for it?
#65 of 98 430 CLK cabrio wheels n tires by rolandthrust May 06, 2007 (6:21 pm)
my 2000 430 has 23,000 miles and after 2 sets of Michelin pilots I went to the ToyoProxes 4`s at about half the price. The tire dealer noted 3 of the four aluminun orig equiptment wheels have a slight bend in them. Question: will this make for less tire life? and if so ,can this be corrected with out the expense of new wheels. Appreciate any advise.....Bowser Replies to this message: cneff (May 19, 2007 4:52 am)

Replying to: rolandthrust (May 06, 2007 6:21 pm) I have an '06 CLK and love the car but the rims do seem to bend in a strong side wind - actually New England roads after winter are torture. I got a quote for $325 each to replace or $125 each to straighten (one they just re balanced). I had them straightened - I have a short lease so if I make it through I'm ahead of the game. As far as the wear it has been 4 months and the tires look ok. Hope this helps.

But if you are in the area call ahead since the guy is not there everyday. I would think most MB dealers have a guy they use, bent rims are pretty common around Northeast roads. Good luck

Replying to: ms09 (Mar 24, 2007 5:46 pm) Mercedes Benz generations. Mercedes-Benz has learned its lesson. The W107 SL was sold for nearly 20 years, the car's exterior was changed VERY LITTLE, imagine having the same basic SL for that long with only moldings being changed. Those days are gone. In the early 2000's, 01-02 Mercedes-Benz released a press release saying that from now on, Mercedes Benz would only keep a current model for 3-5 years at the most without changing it. In other words, the W208 CLK which was made in 2000 is nolonger made. The newer CLK is the W209, so I would think we should see a new CLK in a couple years give or take. Mercedes-Benz has had the W211 E class out for a few years now and this year they gave it a facelift so I dont look for that car to be around much longer. Also another good indicator of when they'er about to bring a new model out is the AMG model cars. When the AMG model car has been out for about a year and a half or 2 years you can look for a new model. And just as Mercedes did with the CLK they took the 430 and upgraded it to the new 550 engine, I would look for them to increase horsepower in the next generation CLK as well. The real changes in these cars is what you cant see. Mercedes-Benz like many other luxury car makers have started using Aluminum, Magnesium, Boron, etc in their cars. Because of the gas issues Aluminum has become the new favorite metal for exterior and some structural members, because it weighs less and is still strong.
#70 of 98 Metal creeking noise coming from above windshield. by bryangmd Aug 24, 2007 (8:37 am)
Hello,   I have an 06 CLK350 Cab. Recently I've hears a metal creaking coming (I think it's coming from)form above the sun visor on the driver side. I think it might be the piece on top part of the windshield, before the top. I think it might be flexing since I only hear it at high speeds. Any one else heard anything similar?

#71 of 98 Trunk brake light cracked by bill124 Nov 16, 2007 (7:40 am)
Yet another problem. Today I popped my trunk open and then went to close it (car sat all week) and the red brake light in the trunk literally popped out of the trunk. Seems it cracked off. Meanwhile, assembly has fallen into trunk. Anyone else have this happen? Receptionist at dealer said she's heard of it.   I really am not happy with quality of this car. This is my second CLK cabriolet and quality sucks. Replies to this message: cneff (Nov 17, 2007 7:01 am) bill124 (Nov 17, 2007 8:00 pm) cneff (Nov 18, 2007 7:29 am) and 4 more...
