Park light
You can look it up here: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/
I recently changed into LED 64132. They look great but they give out an error(even if ebay advertised it as no error)

If those are your park lights, you should Be using 64132.

But the issue isn't the light itself being blown or not working, i tested it on the passenger side parking light and it works fine. But i think i may have blown the fuse attached to the wiring harness that the light plugs into on the driver side. Is this something that can happen? and can i fix this?

Twin Ther Not Working
Hi all . I have a 1999 CLK 230 Kompressor which has been a great car up until now . The car gets hot in traffic ( idle) and the twin fans on the front where the black plastic grill is are not engadging at all . My AC works fine and all settings on my climate control seem fine . Also the clutch fan on the engine seems to be spinning quite loose? As in it looks like i could stop it with my hand sort of like its slipping ? Even when warm the fan doesnt seem to be spinning strong and tight . Has anyone had this problem ? Can someone help me .

Fuel gauge level
When you fill up with petrol ensure the ignition switch key is removed. Also ensure you use a good quality high octane fuel. These cars work in strange ways.

Replace Exhaust Manifolds/Install Short-Tube Headers
I did this on my w208 clk55; it may be slightly different on the 320, but I believe it's identical on the 430.
You'll need:
- new headers/manifolds
- 8 exhaust manifold gaskets
- some extra 6mm studs and nuts
- rust penetrating spray
- various tools (10mm socket, 10mm box wrench, 13mm socket, swivel bit, long extension, tools to remove coil packs and plug wires)
Instructions:
- jack up the car as high as possible
- disconnect battery
- remove 2 nuts securing the brake fluid reservoir, and move aside
- remove 1 plastic nut securing washer fluid reservoir. Remove two hoses on top, and two wires (one on top and one towards the bottom on the front). Move aside (no need to drain fluid from either tank)
- remove air cleaner assembly, spark plug wires, and coil packs. Cover MAF with rag
- liberally coat all 16 exhaust manifold nuts and 4 catalytic converter bolts with rust penetrating spray, and allow to soak
- remove 4 catalytic converter bolts (13mm) from under car
- remove 16 manifold nuts (10mm). It may be too tight to get a socket on some, so you may need to use something else (I used a box wrench)
- remove manifolds and old gaskets
- install new gaskets and manifolds/headers and loosely thread nuts onto studs (if any of the studs came out of the head, they must be threaded back in before putting the nut on)
- tighten nuts to 20Nm (I couldn't fit my torque wrench so I just went pretty snug). IMPORTANT: Start at the rear and work forward to ensure proper seal
- bolt cats to new headers/manifolds using the same 13mm bolts
- replace everything you removed (coil packs + plug wires, 2 fluid reservoirs, and air cleaner assembly)
- lower car and reconnect battery

I know there's a post on here about it with more detail and pictures...
There are two tabs on the cluster, one on the left, and one on the right. Get two credit cards or something similar and slide them between the dash and instrument cluster on the sides. You have to get between the tabs and the dash. Then just pull out with your hands on the side of the cluster.

Does anyone have pictures of door stop on drivers side of 1998 clk320. and instructions on how to replace and where I can get the stops and how hard it is to replace? Pictures would be great also!
Also, when you adjust your windows(specifically drivers side) down do you turn the screw clockwise or counterclockwise.
Thanks, all help is much appreciated!
