Hi I have a CLK 200 Kompressor 2000

Anyone know how to change dash lights?

Whats the best way to access the back of the instrument cluster?

The temp read out on the instrument cluster isn't showing the top of some numbers can I replace just the lcd display?

pixel repair procedure on www.benzworld.org w210 forum similar to your car and worth a try.

Great stuff for older Benz upkeep.

Way back when I had a 1980 240D and I did everything myself.

The best was when you could repair something instead of just replace it!

I did this with the odometer, the fuel tank sending unit, the front seat springs, the dash lights and probably many more things that I just cannot remember now.

I need to remove the driver's side dash panel. I have removed the black plastic cover of the footwell area. Also undone screws and connectors from dash panel starting from the left side all the way to the ignition cover/ring. From there on the dash panel is still tight.

So 1st question is how should I remove the ignition cover/ring. I wedged a few screw-driver bits under it and tried prying it w/ the edge of a med size flat screw driver (trying to not damage the leather), but the cover ring just won't come out.


Also Do I have to open any other areas in order to loosen the rest of dash panel (and eventually remove it)? If so, what items I need to open, and how should I do it.

Any help for this?

Thank You.

to remove the ring
the rest I'm not fresh on anymore so you might want to ask in the c240 forum.

Is this tool sold in general auto part stores e.g. OReillyes, autozone, Advance Auto PArts, ...?
