I drive a Mercedes Benz 2000 clk320 convertible
I need help badly
Hello everyone and that is taking there time reading this
I have clk320 yr 2000 ConVertible when I bought the car it ran good but is was miss firing alot so I found this cool old white guy and I told him all about my background and that I don't come from a family that has money and he try to help me out I bought the car like this and I know something is wrong he told me 7 code pop up and that he can change
12 spark plugs spark wire air mass sensor air filter 4 oxygen sensor and fuel filter for 1400 with labor included so we move on after he told me all I need is new 2motor mount change all 4 valve cover gasket and left and the right catalytic converter and my car would be in great condition but everything went south
he ended up hitting rock bottom and lost it
point here is that I need help cuz I really don't know much about Mercedes but I'm learning I really want to be a Mercedes mechanic
my clk320 right now turn off on my and turn but on 20 mins after I know I have to change crank position sensor
my car hit 88 degrees and I feel like it's going to over heat or it's too hot
I put moble1 European car oil
I live in California Los Angeles what kind of oil should I put for it can be cool my mechanic said to put 10-60 or 20-50 but can't find it
two my convertible mess up one day i left my mom house to pick up my wife from school I put the top down after I pick her up we went to the gas station pumping gas I see this yellowfluid. Coming out from the back too right side of the trunk it was going to start to rain so I try to put the top back and it start making a clicking sound like if the motor was trying hard to close it well I was able to close it as soon as I leave the rear headrests pop up
what can I do to make it work
anybody that has picture or that can help me in anyway I would be more then welcome
thank you

#1, you need to find new mb mechanic, there are few reputable shops depending on what part of LA you are at...

MBWorld Fanatic!
Mobile 1 European 0W-40 is the correct oil to use.
In regard to your power roof, the rear bow lock and/or case cover lock hydraulic cylinders are leaking.
They can be rebuilt by Top Hydraulics. Their web site https://www.tophydraulicsinc.com/en/...benz-a208-info has pricing and DIY instructions.
You can put the roof up manually. Detailed instructions are in the practical hints section of your owners manual.
If you don't have an owners manual, you'll find it in the owners section at https://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/index .
