2000 clk 430

Hello everyone I just purchased a 2000 clk 430 , it has 33k miles. It runs good and feels great, except for a whinning noise when you drive, specially at slow speed. I was told it was the compressor, has anyone had the same situation?

Unless I'm not following you correctly, are you saying compressor, meaning kompressor, meaning it's supercharged? If it's stock, it's definitely not supercharged so I'm not sure what to tell you.

If it comes from the back, it's rear tires that needs to be replaced. The tires sound would come at 25mph and get progressively louder the faster you go there. You would hear whinning noise.

It's your tires. Mine did that and I noticed it right away. I had PS2s that needed replacing..

im guessing he is reffering to the air conditioning compressor, which could be likely, unless it only happens when moving then tires are the most likely answer. followed by trans converter and rear diff...
