Top 20 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class - Page 3 Questions & Answers

I suggest you try one of those instant download manuals. My brother ( a mechanic) buys it when he can't fix some technical issue He buys from www.reliable-store.com . A lot of mechanics actually do this. Website is very good for this. Must try it !!

So you have no other option but to jump start the car, by finding power cables in engine bay or pribe open the trunk with a crow bar, or have i towed to a auto shop so a professionel locksmith can open the trunk for you.

depending on the amount/location of damage to the vehicle you could have damaged the wiring harness leading to blown fuses, or damaged important sensors/relays that, if damaged, wont allow the vehicle to start. or you could have tripped the rollover switch which cuts the power to the engine in the event of a rollover to help prevent fires. but can be set off if damaged or hit hard enough. Start checking fuses and wiring on the damaged part of the vehicle. I hope this info helps.

most Mercedes cars mechanics are pretty bullet proof but as in all cars you do get bad ones no car is totally reliable the only problem Mercedes had was the rust problem which they have now solved but now as all cars they have filled them up with electronic gismos so there is something else to go wrong

clk?

all vehicles are negative to ground

you will have to put the rear star nut back in then sit in it and move the seat back take the front ones out first then the rear ones

Most auto part stores have a scranner, End don,t charge to check it out for you, To see what codes show up,

The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM or ECM,ECU), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems can and do cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms.

I am sorry but we have no auto repair manuals. The manuals are copyrighted by the manufacturer so they are not free to share on line, much like music and video content.

The top should not work above a certain speed or at all if the vehicle is moving. The top can easily rip from the wind if deployed at too fast a speed and even make the car unstabile while rolling.Most tops will raise above the windshield height when they deploy and can fail to clear carports or drive-thru facilities. The tops can catch low hanging light fixtures or even garage door openings.

AC Delco or Interstate batteries are the best......If you don't plan on keeping the car for more than 3-4 years then the Canadian Tire Motomaster Brand are very good as well with good warranty.....

I have answered this one a lot. it isn't terribly difficult to solve. There are 2 ways to go about this.

1. It is most often found in the original owner's manual where there will be a 4-5 digit code.
2. you can call the dealership and ask them they will want your VIN# and may even want you to verify that you are the owner of the vehicle.

Calling the dealership is your best bet, while your owners manual should have the procedure for resetting the radio the dealership can give you the procedure.

You could have a leak in the AC system ... if you just bought the car, the previous owner might have filled the Fre-on just before selling it to you, which would have hidden the problem. If this is the case, take it to a mechanic and they can probably find the problem.
Your compressor might not be compressing properly -- when you put the air on full-cold do you hear the compressor kick on? If not, it might be a bad compressor, or no coolant. Once again, this would require a mechanic to give you all the details
Your AC system might be in perfect shape, but out of coolant anyways. A mechanic should be able to fill it up for you in short order.
Unfortunately, if you are not experienced with working on cars, the AC system is not the safest to be working on on your own. It is highly pressurized when filled with coolant (which is a toxic substance) and without the right tools and experience, you could get severely hurt by loosening the wrong bolt at the wrong time. I highly recommend taking the car to a professional to reduce the risk to yourself.

If you're after radio code, you need to contact a Benz dealer and provide your VIN#. Dealer is only source for anti theft radio codes.

Hi, you question is not clear enough to get an answer. You said you bought a 2001 what? What is the soft top you are also talking about? Please rephrase your question again.

first try with disconnect battery ground cable, disconnect cable an leave 2 minute then fix it back and have a look, if not work now it's position uneven, you must close the roof slowly by hand up to locking position after that first operate the switch for closing and let it lock properly then till lock the boot lid to the right position with two flaps then switch off ignition let it stay 5 minute without doing any thing and, after that open the roof, if not work in this way you must fix Mercedes diagnose tool in to the car for manual activation through diagnose tool, and also would like to ask you to check the boot separation flap again is it in the right position if it not close properly it won't work,
