Forunately, it didn't rain. But the car had a coating of dew over the entire inside. I towel dryed the interior leather/vinyl, but some of the vinyl parts have a white film on them that doesn't seem to come off. Does anyone know a good product to remove this?

1. The arm on my speedometer is dead. The digital works fine. I am aware of one other model that was recalled for this problem and fixed by MB, but have not heard of any recalls for the 500CLK. Anyone have any information on this problem? I have found a shop that will rework it, and also that a replacement instrument cluster would cost $1,000. Any helpful info would be appreciated.

2. When the temperature is over 90 or under 35, the audio system starts cutting out, and will eventually stop altogether, whether it is radio, CD, or integrated phone. I have heard that it could be a problem with the fiber optic cabling, but I'm clueless about this type of issue. If the temp is under 35 and audio won't work, I can turn off the car after a few minutes of driving and it comes back on just fine. Also, if I drive more than an hour in it, it will start cutting out and eventually go quiet.

I'm new to this site and I'm also the new owner of a 03 CLK320. Hoping that someone can help diagnose a noise coming from behind the dash. When I start my car I am hearing some sort of popping noise from the dash (it seems to be coming from the behind the cupholder), it lasts for roughly 5-10 seconds then stops. It happens whenever I start the car, whether or not the Heat/AC is on. If anyone has some insight on this problem it would be greatly appreciated. ]]> W209 CLK Class jwestside http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w209-clk-class/1483191-need-help-popping-noise-dash.html http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w209-clk-class/1482967-wanted-07-upgraded-taillights-mr-04-a.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:52:13 GMT Does anybody have new style tail lights for sale?

Hi Guys,

I am new to the forum, so please be gentle with me :o

I have a 2003 Clk 270CDI, which has been a great car for the past 3 years or so, everything i have wanted from a car, but recently, and more annoyingly, just as my extended warranty has run out 2 months ago!!!!:mad:, it has developed a starting problem, when clap cold, first thing on a morning.

Upon trying to start her up, it immediatly nearly fires, but then continues to turn over without firing for a good 5 mins, then splutters into life, once warm its fine.

I have had it looked at several times, but nobody can find anything wrong!!!!

Also it smells of diesel, and after i removed the engine cover, there is a casting on the front of the engine with several pipes on it, that is wet with fuel, can anyone point me in the right direction please as it seems to be getting worse by the day :crybaby2:

Thanks in advance

I went to my mechanic and he quoted me $3000+ for the parts PLUS labor. I went on Ebay and found what I thought I would need...my question is, what parts would be needed to replace a bumper? The mechanic said the lights, and mesh can be saved but I would need to replace the bumper and the grill. The parts I found on Ebay came up to less than $1000...OH BY THE WAY I HAVE A CLK 500 '03 (AMG BODY)

Is that all I would need to replace the bumper? I'm at a loss and I can help but feel like the mechanic is taking me for a ride because I'm a girl :mad: is
$3k reasonable? What about replica parts? I came across alot of replicas on Ebay but I am not sure how that would work. I think it would be OKAY because a bumper is a bumper right?
