change the oil and filter and check that the cooling system has plenty of coolant..you may be burning oil because of too hot of an engine

Hi and welcome!

As a first course of action I strongly suggest that you check the transmission fluid. If it's burnt please have it replaced. If the fluid looks fine then the problem will surely be on the torque converter. The torque converter controls the shifting of the car. Once replaced, a smooth ride and shifting will be noticeable.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

IF your car CLK 55 AMG it's better to get your car in to the dealer for service because it's need much knowledge to replace oil in this particular car, and must get the right oil for it, it's very particular oil need to fill in to the engine, must use Mobil 0W-40 fully synthetic oil and also need to drain oil from oil cooler and need to **** oil in side the filter housing, drain plug is under oil pan. my advice is get in to the dealer, it's up to you. is this information helped you?

It could be either the left front fuse and relay box,left front sam or the engine control module. Basically it's in a safety mode right now because the engine control module is not getting the coolant temp. The early clk's had this problem when they came out with the new body style. Was a common problem for awhile.

Did it pop your hood at all? If so there is a hood release in the MB emblem on front toopen rest of the way. If not cable may be broken.

SORRY BUTTHERE IS NO COMMON CAUSE FOR THIS CAR, IN FACT IT IS VERY RARE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, WHAT U NEED TO DO IS HAVE THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) TESTED FOR ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL FAULT CODES, THE NO SPARK CONDITION WILL SET A FAULT CODE THAT WILL LEAD U TO THE DEFECTIVE PART, THAT CAN BE THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE, THE WIRING TO THE SYSTEM OR OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LIKE THE CAMSHAFT OR CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS, ALL THESE PARTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND GUESSING IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND MOST TIMES ENDS UP WITH YOUR MONEY IN THE PARTS STORES POCKET AND U WITHOUT A WORKING CAR, HAVE THE FAULT CODE TEST RUN, IT CAN BE RUN FOR FREE BY KRAGEN AUTO OR AUTOZONE PARTS IF YOU CAN GET IT THERE OR YOU CAN BUY A CHEAP OBD 2 SYSTEM SCANNER AND RETRIEVE THE FAULT CODES YOURSELF, THE MOST BASIC CODE READERS RUN ABOUT $40 AND CAN BE HAD AT THE ABOVE PARTS STORES.

DO not start vehicle and contact a roadside assistance company. If you want to tackle it yourself your not acting in your best interest,.Firstly you are stuck at filling station , recovery vehicle costs ,fuel drainage and disposal of same ( enviomently friendly ) replacement filters , refill of fuel .. My advice is think of the long term , take it on the chin and hand it over to a dealership / garage.

Car has elec ignition
Sounds like car battery flat
Jump start/battery box car
Key will not turn if car battery flat,remote will not work as well

if the car was pluged in and no codes it will be trail and error it must be fuel if seals go on fuel lines your would not tell or find problem it could be sucking air change o ring seals in fuel lines and check fuel pressure switch o ring seal the more power the more air will **** in system

sounds like the hood alarm switch is not making proper contact with the hood, the alarm will not set properly, check the hood alignment

Yes it will fit the 2004 with no modifcation or hangar replacement

Tina, you have a very good question, as you will see by my answer: To check engine oil:park car on a level surface, car should be at normal operating temp (been driven for 20 minutes or more), car should be stationary (engine off) for at least 5 minutes. Turn smart key on move to position 2 or press 'keyless go' start/stop button once. The standard display should appear on the multi-function display. Press arrow up or down buttons on the steering wheel until you get the message 'engine oil level'. It will then display if the level is correct, or if you need to add some. Holy c__p, in their quest to make this 'simple', they have failed miserably. At least you won't get your hands dirty. Check for a comment to come shortly. Curt

Not getting any fuel yeah that's one thing and really the first thing to check. Although, with Mercedes ( and almost all newer cars ) they make things so hard to get to, and in some cases even find! I would check the fuel filter first and replace it. After that it may be the fuel pump. Hope it helps! Taking it to the dealer would be costly to say the LEAST. Maybe a reputable shadetree mechanic if you know one.
