hi
imhaving a problem with my '03 clk500

when i try to turn on the car, it makes a chugging sound and doesnt start

i dont believe its a batter problem, because i have tried to have my car jumped but no luck

all it does is make a chugging sound when i try to start it and then just dies and doesn't fully ignite up

i usually wait about 15 minutes and the car will start again, it happen once or twice this past 2 weeks

any idea whats wrong?

ZEEK

what do you mean by chugging sound? meaning crank?

yea just a cranking, like the engine is trying to start but cant

i dont know there could be many things, i dont know names for most of the parts.

Have you tested your alternator? or it could possibly be your starter?

I had a problem with my car. My clk would sometimes stall when i was at low rpm after driving a while. After that it wouldnt start for a while umtil the engine cooled down. I brought it to mercedes and the problem was the cranckshaft sensor. The sensor was overheating. They replaced the sensor and now everything runs great. For the diagnosis and part and labor it was like $600. Goodluck with the peoblem. I hope this helps.
