I have a CLK 230 K -00. The fuel-indicator is showing empty tank when i start the car... After a few minutes it goes up to full even though I have 50% fuel in the tank.

Is there anyone who know what to do ?? Is it expensive to fix ??

Please help...

should be done under warranty, or goodwill.

This is a common problem with the CLK W208 and the C W202.

This should be replaced by the dealer.

Thanks for the help...
I will contact my service station and hope that they will help me.
I live in Sweden and I imported the car from Germany so I hope that the European warranty covers the problem.
I´ll post a reply after contacting the service station.

Tnx again...

Had this same problem. It's caused by the sensors in the fuel tank. It happened to me every winter. I was told that the winter fuel additives corrode the fuel sensor. Miy gauge would not move off empty until I used up a gallon or so. They have to replace both fuel sensors (there are two of them) which is accesed under the back seat.

Tnx again.. My service station will fix the problem... 4 free....
Mercedes has a european warranty so it doesnt matter if you bought the car in another country, The warrenty still covers it... I´m not sure how long though...
Does anyone know how long the warranty normal is ??
My car is a -00 and has gone 35000 km.
Sorry for my poor english but i hope you understand..
