I have a CLK 230 K -00. The fuel-indicator is showing empty tank when i start the car... After a few minutes it goes up to full even though I have 50% fuel in the tank.

Is there anyone who know what to do ?? Is it expensive to fix ??

Please help...

The Fuel Level sensors are defective and Should be replaced
The Car Should still be under Warranty...Take it in for the repairs!
I Have Seen Lots of them do this!

Thanks for the help...
I will contact my service station and hope that they will help me.
I live in Sweden and I imported the car from Germany so I hope that the European warranty covers the problem.
I´ll post a reply after contacting the service station.

Tnx again...

Best regards Janus, Sweden

You won't necessarily need the sender replaced. I had to have my sensor electronically recalibrated and that fixed it for me. My issue was similar, but in my case Id fill the car up - and it wouldn't go back up from empty to indicated full for about 80-100 miles!!

As soon as they reset the sender its been fine. On the other hand, the C's have a bad history with sender units.

Good luck.
