The vehicle was constructed in 2004 and officially registered in 2005. It has accumulated around 120,000 kilometres. Yes, I believe it is time for the unavoidable. I like the engine in it as well, and it's unfortunate that it likely has another 500,000 miles of life left.

I purchased a CLK320 over 3 years ago, but it has developed many problems. Unfortunately, I am considering scrapping it, which is rather disheartening. I am writing this to seek reassurance and confirmation. The vehicle has had many electrical issues and, unsurprisingly, there is a significant amount of rust on the rear passenger quarter. There is water entering the trunk (causing unpleasant odours in the carpeting) and a malfunctioning seatbelt. Recently, my vehicle experienced a flat tyre. I attempted to remove the wheel on the side of the road using hand tools, but was unsuccessful due to the lock nut not providing enough grip. Prior to the flat tyre, there was significant noise coming from that particular corner. Initially, I believed the noise was caused by the corrosion of the tin baking plate, which had been temporarily repaired approximately two years ago. However, I now suspect that the noise and the flat tyre may be unrelated a The identified electrical problems include the absence of a horn, intermittent functioning of the o2 engine fan, occasional failures of the windows to close properly, and warning messages related to the ESP sensors prompting the need for a service visit. To be honest, I believe that all electrical problems are either caused by water entering the system (which I suspect is due to extensive corrosion) or a malfunctioning steering column module. However, it is difficult to determine the exact cause without investing a significant amount of money in a thorough examination. It seems that I have limited alternatives unless I invest a significant amount of resources. Do you have any comments or advice that I should consider before I make the call?

I have performed the brake bleeding procedure using the conventional approach, resulting in a pedal that is rather uncertain in its effectiveness. I have a question about the compatibility of the reservoir cap and the needed psi for bleeding when purchasing a pressure bleeder. Can you provide this information before I make the purchase? Thank you.

Thank you.

I replaced the rigid steel brake line that runs from the SBC pump to the back of the driver's side with a flexible rubber brake pipe. The rigid steel pipe rusted and ruptured in front of the right-hand rear tyre. During the period of inactivity, the primary battery of the automobile had a failure and required replacement, as did the secondary battery. The gear selector is now functioning properly, and the warning notice to attend the workshop for the battery issue has been resolved. My current inquiry is if I can do brake bleeding using my Icarsoft MBv3, or whether I must take it to a shop for a Star session in order to have it done.

Charming. Thank you, HeadlinesQuick. I appreciate it. 👍🏻

Thank you for your assistance, HeadlinesQuick. I own a second-generation vehicle from the year 2011. Will this continue to be true? Thank you

Thank you for your response. Could you please provide information on the specific location of these fuses so that I can disable them? Thank you.

I have previously consulted the guidebook, which provides information on the location of the fuse boards, but does not specify the location of individual fuses.

Hi, can someone provide the location of the primary beam fuses? Is there one for each side, 56AL and 56AR? The primary beam on the passenger side is not functioning, however it does operate when connected to the driver's side. Would much appreciate any assistance? Thank you.

I have completed two tasks after first acquiring it. However, to be honest, the speed at which I had to do these tasks was too rapid for my liking, therefore I have refrained from undertaking any further tasks since then. Regarding the 8000 miles prior to my ownership, I am uncertain about the level of care and maintenance it received, but it seems to have been attended to. However, one can never be really certain. The sole issue was a little oil leakage on the gearbox sump, which went unnoticed at the service in May. It seems to have occurred thereafter, since 5 litres of oil were emptied.

The current value of the item is 19,500, but I purchased it for 8,200 on May 23, 2019, and it has been registered.

Appreciation expressed.

No, it is only a garage for motorbikes. I am receiving conflicting information from both them and mb plus online, which is why I am seeking clarification. Provide me with the necessary electrical connections and I will be fully functional. I have never been proficient at manipulating digital components.

I have read several sources on engine and automatic gearbox fluid (ATF) adjustments after the break-in period, which is why I am now perplexed. In addition to varying quantities of ATF, there seems to be a multitude of conflicting pieces of information available.

Greetings. My W213 E63S seems to have jerking during stop-start situations in slow-moving traffic. After doing some research, it seems that this issue is rather widespread among C/E63 models. Therefore, I made the decision to provide her with a gear box servicing at an independent establishment. Upon opening the package, the individual discovered metallic objects adhered to the magnets. I have included photographs for reference. Based on my research, it seems that a gearbox service should have been conducted after the first period of use. I have verified with Mercedes that this service was not performed. We have chosen to quickly replenish the fuel and then undergo a complete maintenance service after about 400 kilometres. The concept is that if any further fragments appear, it is indicative of a more significant problem rather than merely residual remnants. I am not too worried at this point because the warranty should cover any costly concerns. I have attempted to get further information on the quantities of refill oil and the periods for servicing, but I am now perplexed. What is the required quantity of oil to replenish the gearbox? Does the wet clutch of the 9g MCT box need oil? If yes, what is the specific amount? I have seen details with a capacity that varies from 5 litres to 10 litres. Mb provided me with a quotation amounting to 8 litres. I am rather perplexed by the distinctions between the torque converter and the MCT. To be candid, I lack expertise in mechanics. Therefore, any information elucidating this matter would be much appreciated, as it would enhance my comprehension.

Indeed. I prefer not to have an electric option. In my opinion, petroleum and diesel fuel will continue to exist for a significant period of time, regardless of the information presented by the media and government. I distinctly recall seeing an antiquated episode of Top Gear from the 1980s when they discussed the obsolescence of the internal combustion engine by the year 2000. Clearly, it did not occur.

Indeed, your point is logical and accurate. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Vauxhall Omega and Ford Granada/Scorpio were gradually discontinued, indicating a shift away from producing cars of such kind. To get similar vehicles, one had to turn to the prominent German automakers. Nevertheless, I always believed that the contemporary Mondeo/Vectra/Insignia models were sufficiently impressive vehicles to cater to both the big family and executive market segments. However, it seemed that such automobiles would have a lasting presence, but unhappily, that was not the case.

Indeed, I have seen such contemporary 508 models, which are quite attractive vehicles. In my opinion, the interiors seem too modern and unconventional. My father briefly had a Peugeot 405 in the past, which was an excellent automobile. If my next vehicle is not an Insignia B, I am uncertain about what it will be. Since 2010, it has been difficult to make a choice since there are not as many appealing options as there were in the 80s, 90s, and 00s.

Given its discontinuation in 2022/2023, is there any speculation on the possibility of Vauxhall reintroducing a similar vehicle in the future? Although there has been talk for years about the decline of big family cars and executive saloons/hatches, Mercedes, Audi, and BMW continue to manufacture them. Therefore, I am curious whether anybody believes that we will see a new Insignia, or a similar vehicle, in the near future. I have a strong aversion to contemporary vehicles, since there are an excessive number of electric/hybrid cars and "crossovers" that lack a clear identity as either a 4x4 or an MPV. Personally, I have a deep appreciation for classic, angular sedans and hatchbacks, and I would be very saddened by their potential extinction.
