I drive a 2004 CLK320.

Happened twice already in the past few weeks. When I stopped at the light, there was vibrations with the car. I could see that the RPM went up and down. It felt like the car would die but it did not.
Also, in another 2-3 occasions, when I stepped on the gas after a red light, the car would hesitate and would not move. It went back to normal after a few seconds.

I am bringing in my car to the dealership later this week. Anything I should look for?

What the hell?? we are in the same situation...exactly the same as my, it just happend in the past two week...please let me know after you take to the dealer.

The same thing happens to mine!!! For me it started happening after I switched to K&N filters. I just ordered the green filters to switch them and see if it makes a difference.

wtf??? is that common problem to every CLK 320 or something?? my its happened b4 i changed to K&N so I cant blame on the filter I guess...hope someone in this forum can tell us whats wrong with it...

dynomite05

I guess so! I was reading this link (https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...highlight=idle) thats why I ordered the green filters!

I am using a stock air filter.

I did some research in this forum and the problem may come from a bad ignition coil.

so its clearly not because of the filter...gota be something else ..I dont know about your car how often does it happen to your car...my was jsut happen sometime so I dont know. But have you take it to dealer yet?? u still have warranty???

dynomite05

I took mine to the dealer and they said everything was fine I just needed a software upgrade to the computer. They did it and for the most part it went away but I still feel it sometimes.

M-bENZ

you still feel it sometimes ...you are not suppose to feel it because they already fixed . So did you order your green filter yet?? I hope not...and hey how much did they charge you to upgrade the software???

M-bENZ

do you guys think it would be all in the FUEL area??? cause I have feeling that the fuel is not flowing right??

dynomite05

So they say they fixed it.....I ordered the filters anyway they should be getting here this week. The upgrade was like $250 but the guy told me my car would be ready on Tuesday and it wasn't ready till Wednesday so he gave it to me for $150

dynomite05,

so you should have your car today right?? hoping you dont have any problem after they fixed...oh yeah I have a question for u..when you recieved your rims did you see something like a piece of metal (6 or 7 of them) that stick INSIDE (behind those spokes) of your rims..I hope u know what I mean..

dynomite05

I have the car already, this was last week that I took it to the dealer. The only thing I received with the rims were the valve stems.

M-bENZ

so you still feel it sometime or its gone??

dynomite05

I still feel it sometimes. Not as much as before I took it in. Hopefully putting in the green filters will help.

M-bENZ

hey dats cool...let me know the result after you throw the green filter in.

M-bENZ

Hey hows your car?? any better?

My CLK is a daily commute but just happened that I did not drive my car for a few days. My appointment with the dealership is next week. I will report if they find something.

This happens to me only 4 times in the last month. Other possibilities are moisture in the gas line (winter/summer changeover), bad gas, etc....

[QUOTE=M-bENZ;2796572]The only mods I did to my CLK are all cosmetics: Wood steering wheel and 17-inch AMG wheels.

The rest are all OE.
