W208 How To's
General question: Why do they say in those DIY freon canisters to use the low port? What is the difference?
Post this in the CLK320 (w208) section and you'll get better responses. Sounds like your car doesnt want to upshift. But I dont know.
Your info helps explain what the 3rd connector is for in a CLK (Amp) which tells me that the deck that I installed last night is not using the Bose Amp, but rather the new deck's amp instead.
I also had to join the Battery wire with the accessory wire from the new deck to the RED with VIOLET strip wire to get the unit to turn on. Is there another wire that I need to connect the accessory wire to so that the unit can only be turned on if the ignition is in the "on" position?
Question: I have an after market doube din Pioneer Avic-d3 to install in my 2000 clk320. I bought a harness and connected everything but still does'nt have any sound.. Ive research and found that the bose amp needs to power up, So I found the amp and connected the red and violet to my battery and accesory wire to the new deck but still no sound. Am I missing something? Can somebody help me. please..=( thanks....

decreased and I felt the overall handling was better with the 17's. I always thought plus one, etc. was a positive move. I put the 17's back on the CLK55 and no doubt the car is more responsive and handles better. My problem, I just bought a set of Dunlop Star 18's and new 18 inch wheels to go on the CLK55. I am thinking perhaps this was not a good move. The Conti 17's and the Sportmaxx 18's were running with the same or very cloe tire pressure. Any thought will be appreciated. Incidently, I am loving the 2002 CLK55 AMG. The torque is addictive. The ride is somewhat harsh of course, as compared to the CLK430, and the feedback from every little imperfection from the road is sometimes on the annoying side, but that's what you give up for corning and better handling. Has anyone lowered their W208 AMG Cab ? Would lowering and/or perhaps changing out some other suspension components improve the ride without destroying the great handling. I was happy to find this low mileage W208, as I much prefer the older MB's, I think the build quality is better than some newer ones. Years ago I had two 450 SEL's which were stellar cars. Anyway, it is fun to read the posts and would appreciate comments re: any Mods for the W208 CLK55 AMG Cab.

might need to make a user name to see it but its worth it
I have the most weird situation with my 99 CLK320.
I was driving to a friends house and the engine shut off when I parked.
I did try to started again and it cranks starts and when it revs to 1000rpm shut off again. it last less than one second and then it dies again.
I check the fuel pressure and it has 65psi.
I did plug an OBD2 scanner and there are no codes.
I change the battery and still the same problem.
Can anyone please help me with my problem?
Thanks
