Mercedes CLK 230 K AMG finishing
New from France

Hi .

My name is Allan , 43 old . I am French from Brittany , in front of New York !
I am the happy driver of a Mercedes CLK 230 Kompressor with AMG option of 2001 .
I bought it 5 years ago at 120 000 kms and now near 200 000 kms without problem !
Many month ago my CLK drive 240 km/h on a German Autobahn , he have a good health !
Sometimes I'm sad because i have nothing to do on it , just oïl change , break pads ...
I rebuild another German car , a Porsche 928 S . Like German people said : " a Mercedes for daily and a Porsche for the week end !" .
A Mercedes W124 300 TD , an Opel GT and a Porsche 944 complete the collection !
Happy to be with you !

Mine is a Gasoline engine. I prefer Gasoline. You can get Diesel engines also. It just depends on what you prefer. I have never worked on a Diesel engine but I have rebuilt several gasoline engines. I am getting to old now to work on them. Have to take pictures of before so I remember what to do when I put it back together so I stopped working on old cars. I do not even do oil changes by myself. I let the dealer do it. I put about 3000 miles a year on the Mercedes Benz. It is a little over 3 years old and I have about 9,000 miles.
