a few CLK 430 questions...
How far does ur keyless entry work?
mine doesnt lock or unlock til im about 5 feet away... could my battery be low??
how hot does ur temp gauge get?? im alittle about half 80 c
i think im at 90c
i only have 16,000 on my 99 Clk but at idles the car tends to shake alittle.. it doesnt seem like such a bad shake or a rattle more like a grunt shake.. hmm wonder if anyone knows what im talking about... also oil changes when does everyone change the oil?

I can unlock at 20m or so but not tried any further. Definately try a new battery.
Temp about 85.
In terms of shake at idle, not really that I think is overly bad! Does it depend on what your used to previously?
Oil change only at service time and I don't need to 'top up' in between.
Issue: A little wind noise at 60mph+ would be my only gripe.
Goes like stink though and can't wait to get the Kleemann shocks and springs next week.
All the best

I know what you mean about the 'shake' at idle. It generally happens when I'm at a red light on a hot day (although it's only happened a few times) and there's a noticeable 'shiver' as the engine drops by a few RPM. It's something to do with the mass air meter, I think, and not a big problem. According to the MB tech who posts here (or used to?), they devised some kind of software fix for that problem.
I used to change my oil with Mobil 1 synthetic about every 4-6000 miles because of the way I drive (redline dozens of times a day, etc.), but I realized it was fairly pointless and now I'm just sticking to MB's services.
And my temp guage gets to about 88-89 when I'm sitting in traffic for a long time, and cools down to normal when some air's moving across the engine.
