Hey guys,

I'm totally green when it comes to cars.

What is the difference between 2003 CLK 270 2,7 and 2004 CLK 270 2,7?

im guessing youre in the UK. theres not much difference between the two, just the year model (and obviously what the original owner ordered with the car). that diesel engine didnt get an upgrade until 2005 from 270cdi with 2.7l to 320cdi with 3.0l.

There was a change in 163bhp to 177bhp at some point in that engine's history iirc, but I don't remember when.

so with regards to OPs question of whats the difference between an '03 CLK270 and an '04 CLK270.... apart from how the cars were ordered from new (features and extras) the only difference is the date of manufacture. nothing more, nothing less.
