CLK 500 W209
Noise coming from Auto Tranmission only when in gear. (W209)
Hi People,
I am new to the Forum and recently bought a 2002 CLK 500 W209. This is my first thread and would appreciate any help.
There are 2 issues with the car:
1) There is a knocking noise coming from the passenger side dashboard (I am from the UK, therefore steering wheel is on the right hand side) which i think is the stepper motor for the A/C. It seems to be a common issue with the CLK. Can someone give me a link with pics and description of how difficult/easy it is to remove the dash???
2) This noise is difficult to describe but when the car is in D on the auto transmission, i hear a kind of scraping/whining noise from around the transmission area. When the car is in Neutral, i don't hear the noise. At idle the noise is low, but as you accelerate it gets louder.
I know issue 2 sounds vague but can anyone who may have expereinced this issue help me or point me in the right direction.
Also, love the lingo used in this forum. Stealerships, tranny( i think transmission)... lol

Hi Dynomite05,
I think in Europe, the W209 cam out in Sept 02'. Mine is the W209 but the pre facelift (which happened in 2005 i think). Its looks like your CLK with the AMG body kit. (your rear lights look awesome by the way!!!)

This = prepare for an £4000 transmission swap out....mixing of the coolant into transmission oil.
get your trans oil tested for gycol contamination....ASAP.
