What to look for in "Final check-up" for a CLK55?
I'm taking my CLK55 in, for the last service visit covered under the factory warranty! Is there anything you would recommend that I have them check for? Thanks in advance.

Is there anything on the car that is not operational? Cupholder? Heated/power seats? If so, then have any issues repaired under warranty.
Check for any leaks. How does the car run? Any hesitation issues? Has the MAF been replaced?
Check the entire car for any possible corrosion. Especially check around the weatherstripping and trunk areas around the license plate.
The only other thing that jumps to mind is to check motor mounts, all suspension parts and make sure they run a search for fault codes. If you have not had the transmission fluid changed, I would recommend that as well (probably on your dime).
Good luck

Should just ask them to do a full inspection of the car and all warranty items. Did this with a Ford pickup and they found a internal transmission seal that was leaking and got it fixed for free. Saved couple of thousand dollars according to the dealer.
Best of luck

check v belt and tensioner. BTW I have a guy that works in the shop that does after hours work for me and I asked him if I should change the tranny fluid and he was completly against it. And I was more than willing to pay him.
