    If you have a plan to buy a CLK, C-Class, CL-Class or an E-class, these tips will help you to find the issues quickly and if you already have one of these cars it will definitely help you find out earlier, avoid, diagnose and prepare to fix. Please let me know the other issues that I have missed. thank you as usual for watching

    Great video. I own a pristine now 18 yr old 2005 CLK 320 with under 75k miles, and I had all that you mentioned replaced and or repaired to include the valve cover gasket, crank shaft sensor, purge valve, breather line, fuel system attended to, motor and transmission mounts, cabin & engine filters along with 3k interval oil changes. These classic coupes with the M112 or M113 is a joy to own and drive and I still get compliments wherevever I go. Best thing to have on your side when you own a Mercedes, is to avoid stealerships for repairs or maintenance and locate a good Indie privately owned Mercedes shop that have certified Mercedes master mechanics.

    Glad to see you pointed out the Orings on connector at transmission for electrical connection.
    I replace it every 50K miles or so when I service the transmission. You didn't mention the leaky cam magnets that can wick into the engine harness though. Mercedes used to update by adding wiring pigtails that went between the magnets and the engine harness. Was a free thing at the dealer, but no idea if it still is. It's easy to do yourself if need be, and I'm sure they can be purchased for very little.

    • @BenzAddiction
      @BenzAddiction  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you mate for great comment, some of these issues are more visible by a simple inspection as you mentioned but for example transmission connector seal leak might be over sighted and cause the TCU to fail.

    Concerning the headlight lenses becoming opaque, what i did was purchase a buffing kit for the lenses, which is a two part process with 2 different grits of sandpaper and chemical compound. I found that process, which only rook me about 30 minutes, completely cleared the lenses up. However, if they are old and worn with UV damage, then the opqueness will return after some time, but you can repeat this process as much as you wish.
    Theres a couple oil leak issues with the clk w209 and around that year, which are very easy to resolve.
    1) cam plugs or "expansion" plugs located on the back of each cam. They are accessible by hand and there are 3 plugs total. 1 on passenger side and 2 on driver side (left hand drive). They are about $20 USD for the package of 3 and can be changed out relatively easily.
    2) cam shaft adjuster magnets and sensors. The whole kit can be purchased for between $100-150 USD (in my experience), which includes all magnets and sensors. This is a common oil leak area that can be inspected/observed simply by looking and no disassembly required to diagnose. However, these require some effort in replacing and you may want to get your mechnic to change, but if you are mechnically inclined it is just a matter of time and effort.
    3) crankcase breather housing may develop leak over time. Again, this part is quite cheap

    Love my CLK280. Owned for near six years. Throws engine code alerts now and then. Car only has 137,500 Ks on it. Cam chain stretch and wear on balancer shaft sprockets are an issue with both CLK V6 and V8 motors. An expensive repair but then the engine will run for another 160 thousand Ks without a timing issue. Yet to have mine done but will soon before I have major issue. Plus get transmission serviced, meaning oil,filter, plastic level tube and trans sump bolts (one use only) around 125,000 Ks or less if your car is mainly used for urban driving. Those transmissions are very strong but expensive to repair/ replace. Oil is cheap in comparison to Mercedes parts. Penrite make a special transmission oil for the 7 speed transmission. Did my transmission service at home around 120,000 Ks and it has run smoothly and faultlessly ever since.

    accurate video. i just had my valve cover gaskets replaced as they were leaking. also my headlights got pretty foggy but i fixed them with a turtle wax headlight restoration kit. my glove box latch is completely broken, the previous owner sealed it shut with a screw. my driver side headrest stopped working in the up position, i somehow managed to move it down then just unplugged the motor since the seat cant go forward to let people in when its all the way up. my sunroof also isnt working at all, it was like that since i bought it. but other than those issues its a great reliable car. i currently have 170000kms on it

      Good choice, check for rust, oil leaks, front suspension, driver seat for tear and wear, service history, remove the oil cap and check how clean inside the engine is, seat belt extenders, headliner, sunroof, spark plug replacement evidence, check for no vibration when applying brakes... good luck.

      Hello, 2009 should be a 7 speed. I suggest you to diagnose the car using a proper OBD2 Scanner, possibly the star. These transmissions rarely fail mechanically, it is usually the gear shifter or the conductor plate that goes bad and that would be maximum less than $1000 of cost.

You need to key in at position 2, do not start the engine.

    The biggest problem in this model is rust on doors and fenders. In my CLK from 2003 I had it plenty.

      There is a Mercedes recall again on these cars that they might replace your sunroof for free. I have an appointment with Mercedes-Benz in 2 weeks For this and my sunroof mechanism is faulty too. Good luck.

    Is 2006 c280 reliable?

    • @BenzAddiction
      @BenzAddiction  ปีที่แล้ว

      Basically any V6 of this era is more reliable than the 4 cylinder, smoother too. So 280 is a V6 and a well looked after CLK280 should be a reliable car too.

      Yes, that rubber bush needs to be in a good shape as extra play might cause the ECU think that the gear shifter and the transmission actuator are not in harmony, can cause a fault code... 😉
