need help with few problems !

Dear forum !!

i took my car in to the dealer to fix few problems i had and came out with out a solution. so i want to ask the forum for any advise ! before i bring my car in to the dealer again.
again i want to say thank you, and i am only keeping this CLK casue of the amazing forum we have ! heheehehe

1) when the car is in idle, under the engine comes a strong rattle noise. following the rpm pace.

2) the squicks on my dash and seat , the put some felt and i think it got fixed for now since is cold weather.

3) i changed my audio to audio 10 from steve and it suddenly casuing the spekaer to act funny, the passenger speaker come on and off when the weather is cold and then when it warms up it back to normal .. is this normal ? for a $50 k car ??? or is it a faluty wire connection since i put it in.

4) and my engine light came on after the NJ gas station dude forgot to close it tight . do i need to bring it to the dealer to have them close the check engine light ? or will it go away after several times ?

thanks for any help the forum can give me !!!

1.) it may be that you have a bad cat convertor...
2.) squeaks are almost infamous with the clk... felt will help
3.) possibly a loose connection... steve backs up his work, so send him and email for troubleshooting
4.) don't worry about it... drive the car a couple times (after you tighten the cap) and the light will go away after a few starts...

enjoy your CLk

I had the same problem before, when the car is at idle there's a really loud knocking sound from underneath the car. Took it to the dealer, both cats were fried, replaced under warranty. Good luck.
