Pointers re final 50k free MB service??

Going in for final 50k MB free service.

My 2002 AMG clk has been running almost flawlessly.

Are there any warranty items that I should bringing to the attention of MB service?

What I did was to have a conversation with my SA and asked that since its the end of warranty and free service that he has the car gone over very carefully. He did and found a few small items such as the rear diff pinion seal was seeping and was changed plus a few other small things.

Thanks Sosh.

Aren't there also sensors, not sure but remember reading about MAF? sensors that go bad and should be replaced?

Also airconditionaing components?

I need a long checklist/complaints...

My experience was with my 01 E320 4M. If it ain't broke don't fix it!! All the stuff you mentioned will eventually need attention but you can't expect them to replace the parts if they are in good condition. Have the shop do a full computer scan and be certain all the sensors are meeting new spec. Mine were all OK. I have since traded the car for an 05 E320 4M

Karl:

Since you live in hot, humid Florida I'd definitely have the A/C checked out for peak performance. There is a body control module that will store non ECM related codes...the are several A/C plenum temperature sensors (and the interior sensors in the ceiling by the map reading lights) that control how the system works. There are sensors on the A/C plumbing itself.

I had mine in for service and the tech found a faulty sensor - I didn't notice it at the time, but afterward the A/C would blow even colder air after they did it.

They could also check for A/C high side / low side system pressures to make sure the proper refrigerant charge is present. Just mention that the A/C doesn't seem to cool as quickly as when new to get them to look into it.
