List of Routine Maintenance After 50K miles
Does anyone know where to get a list, or have a list, of the things to do or types of maintenance (eg. replace spark plugs at xx K miles) after a CLK hits over 50K miles? Thanks...

1. front and rear O2 sensors.
2. mass air flow sensor.
3. a/c problem (temp. evap. sensor)
that's basically it....besides all the other small *****s.

(Sorry, ERRORS fixed)
At 50k they told me it was time to change the fuel Filter and charcoal gas tank filter. I was also told to change plugs at 4 years or 100K for 98 and 99, 5 years or 100K for 2000 up.
I had a front O2 sensor die before I made it to 50K.
Same with the mass air flow sensor, dead before 50K.
Also had to change the brake light switch...... right before hitting 50K.

(Oh, sorry... I made many mistakes in my post above, and I was using ~10K per year) 
the dealership told me:
SPARKPLUGS
4 years or 100K (which ever first) for 98 and 99
5 years or 100K (which ever first) for 2000 up
fuel filter and charcoal gas tank filter
50K
There are other things that are also time dependent, not milage based.
2 years brake fluid
3 years coolant

I just wanted to make sure they weren't trying to charge me extra and they seem they might be. Anyone else have similar experience with spark plugs?

This is what I was told for the CLK430... CLK320 may be different.
$400 for the CLK320 seems high. I had quotes for $400-$500 for the CLK430 which you may know has 16 sparkplugs. I do not know how many the 320 has.
