MBTech, thank you very much for your wonderful information.
I have a question re: the CD player issues if you have a moment.
What is the fix for this as I have a 2002 CLK320 (cabrio) and I do experience that problem from time to time. Re-start the car and/or remove and replace the magazine and all seems OK, for a time.
Thanks again very much,
JR

Problem 10: Certain instrument cluster display not centered actually appear after the command software update.

Non CLK specific problems
Dave, really appreciate the list. However, E55MKB brings up an interesting point. Are there any non CLK specific problems that are very widespread? I know I'm not the only person to have a smart key replaced, is that becoming a common issue? Are there any other general MB issues to be aware of? Thanks.

Just tell them what you told me, your car experiences hesitation from time to time. The part number for the updated control unit is 113 153 04 79, and it is a valid fix for many cars.

Took my car to the dealer and had them look at it today, they couldn't duplicate the problem (checked Air Flow Sensor & ME control unit), but I got a service B out of them and some mobil 1's put in 7000 miles ahead of my schedule maintenance .......

1. Whoever installed the changer didn't version code the D2B ring to include the changer.
2. The shock absorber springs on the changer are set to vertical when they should be set to horizontal, or vice versa.
3. The changer is defective.
4. The CDs are damaged, or recorded (burned)
