Hi, I just bought 2005 CLK500 convertible.(W113 engine) I have 2 issues cuurently that I need your help & advise. The first issue, engine won't crank at first attemp but 2nd or 3rd attempt it runs without any issues. I am suspecting crankshaft sensor because, battery and spark plugs has changed a year ago. What can be cause of that issue? Btw, there is NO engine light and code on the dash.

The 2nd issue, when I started it, there is clicking noise coming from command unit or A/C control unit area. It nocking at least 1 minute or so and when I shut off the engine also that sounds come again.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

As far as the clicking noise, plan on removing the dash to fix the problem. I wrote a guide on this recently.
