230K Problems Problems Problems... :(

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with some guides on how to repair some faults on my car please???

I have CLK230 Kompressor, Triptronic...
Ive been having a few problems with it and would like to repair it myself if I can instead of having to re-mortgage my house to pay mercedes lol

I would be really gratefull for any guides on repairing these problems please?

Ive had my ESP/BAS lights on for a while now, these stay on the brakes where changed a while ago but these where on and off before then even... I read in my service history that the previous owner had this problem and paid £200 or so pounds for replacing the faulty sensor, im having the same problem. Can this be repaired by myself???

Also my engine warning light is on and has been on for a while it wont go off, read that this is the CO2 sensor????

On top of all that my engine makes a lot of noise when I accelarate and it feels rough, it also makes huge banging noises that I can feel under my feet like I have run something over when I brake suddenly???

Final problem is I recently built a car computer in my car replacing the stereo with a touch screen powered by a laptop, since doing this something has happened to my temperature read out, it goes all funny when I start the car, I have checked the wiring on this and it all seems to be plugged in properly, funny thing is it seems to go back to normal when I put the heating on and the car warms up... It just shows half broken letters when the car is cold??? Has my car got the flu??? LOL

I hope someone can help me at least fix some of the problems myself???

i had the engine warning light stay on like yours and i thought the o2 sensor had gone. i was wrong. i let the petrol go really low on christmas day because no petrol stations were open i was running on vapours. the engine was a little rough for a day or two then it suddenly went ok again and the engine light came on. what caused mine was a blocked air injector and it cleared but the light stayed on. dealer charged £60 to check it on the star computer and turn out the light.......a new sensor i belive is £120 without fitting.......a ray of hope. have you let it get low on fuel recently??????

This was my first car so I always keep it on full... I always top it up when it gets anywhere near quarter so I dont know if thats the same problem??? Its been on a few months but I cant see any difference in performance just the light wont go off... I had it read by a mechanic using the computer but all he did was reset the faults to see if it comes back on and it did as soon as i started the car... It said something about fault after the sensor???

The BAS light will show on my 230 clk when it is warm and has been driven around for a few hours in town. Then it will disappear after switching it off. This is a usual problem I have a 300d which all the lights come on when the car is perfect and the garage can not find a fault. The tempreture sensor is again a normal thing I bouht mine with the same fault and its somtimes perfect and somtimes goes back even the Gear indicator does the same, there is nothing you can do about it am afraid.
