Re: WK2 145k Service
Get it up to 80 and stand on the brakes. Not really joking.

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam
I need to inspect the 3 cam covers on the back of the heads. They are plastic and cheap and known to leak. The 4th cam cover is the oil centrifuge and is not a bad idea to do preventatively as I did on my S550. Not a full inspection as I couldn't get an angle to look under the centrifuge nor could ...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-oil-cooler-replacement-kit-nissens-2721880001-kit-2721880001kt This is reasonably priced. May want to just do this because it's a thing anyway. Or skip the coolant (order the other P/Ns) and just source a few gallons of G48 for the job. I get mine at O'Reill...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam
Random things Corrosion level looks non-existent from what I have inspected so far. Has male MMI in glovebox. Has BT already for phone (will not do music). This might be the same as my S550 to get an idea of compatibility. I think I linked to it above for music (iPod adapter that does BT modern code...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam
Couldn't wait so I played with DAS for a while. Generally you can ignore anything that just says stored. Typical way forward is to clear all codes and drive the car a little bit to see what comes back. Generally what comes back would only be the stuff in this list that says stored but it's always go...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam
Random shot of the passenger side hood area (kind of in line with the front right tire area). 20240520_080956.jpg I'm not sure how well this shows up in photos. How convenient. It is possible that wet sanding and following up with a 2K clear (kind of on a per panel basis) could be a path. And wet sa...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam
Fun fact: the wider rear wheels (255 tires) actually put the spokes more inboard than the fronts (225 tires). 20240520_081046.jpg 20240520_081054.jpg Inspected tires more closely. The front PS2s are date code 2019, and they are starting to look long in the tooth. I didn't realize they made them for ...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam
By some parts bin magic, your CLK takes the identical TPMS sensors that I just bought for my E63. https://www.tpms.com/Huf-IntelliSens-20213-28214-TPMS-Sensor-p/h0036set-mercedes.htm On sale for $99 for a set of 4 (even cheaper than Rockauto - they are BH Sens which is the same thing), and as far as...
