Can you add CLKs to Mercedes Benz W124?
Hi, I’ve been researching W208 CLKs to possibly add to my W124. I love the W124, would just like a little sportier ride.
When did the Mercedes Benz CLK start to rust?
MB changed the chassis steel specification around 2003, and that matched the W209 introduction. Other MB models were gradually phased in with the new specification. My 2004 CLK has no visible body rust, and the UK has plenty of rain.
Why does my Mercedes Benz make a clicking noise?
It requires electrical power to crank the engine. The car makes a clicking noise but won’t start. Hint: Starter Problem or Low Battery This may seem obvious, but an old battery is the root of many headaches and can cause all sorts of malfunctions on Mercedes-Benz cars.
When did the rust start on the Mercedes W124?
I love the W124, would just like a little sportier ride. Regarding the much talked about corrosion problems, I have read in a few sources that the rust problems supposedly only started in mid 1999 when Mercedes switched to water-based paint and that 1998 MY should be relatively corrosion-free. Any truth to that from your experience?

What happens when a Mercedes Benz goes into limp mode?
When a Mercedes-Benz goes into limp mode, it only operates in second gear and reverse only. When you put it in gear, you may also feel a bang as transmission engages. The first thing you should try is to check the transmission fluid level. The transmission has a dipstick tube but with no dipstick in it.
Where does the whine come from in a Mercedes?
I investigated my whine on my C180 by removing the auxillary drivebelt so just the engine was turning. When I rev up (car stationary), the whine is still there; sounds like it is coming from the centre top of the engine. Is this just the normal noise that mercs make?
