You can look at the top of the page and click on the tools, you will see the vin decoder select that and enter your vin and it will bring up you info about your MB. Then in the forum there is a thread about the csp it has what motors that have those problems.

CLC 200K '10
Question VIN DECODER - please help

Hi Every1👋

I just bought a 2010 CLC 200K a week ago, I've never had MB before (I've been driving a 2000 E39 520d for last ten years),
so everything is new for me. The car is amazing, especially after driving the 136bhp turbo diesel for such a long time. As far
as I know it's a 184bhp engine and the car has Smith like sport package (aluminium trims, pedals, black headliner etc.)
I want to discover as much as it is possible bout the car but VIN Decoder returns info that my VIN is not proper 😥

Maybe I'm doing smth wrong? The VIN is WDB2037411E088234
Can someone pls help me with his, I'd be very grateful🙂

You have a CLC coupe. I think your chassis is a W203 (C-Class), which is slightly different family than the CLK.
