Hi there,
Does anybody know if there is anything you can do to fix the problem with instrument cluster digits that are messed up?
I just bought a 2001 CLK320 and all the digits on the panel(speedometer,radio, service,etc) show up just fine except for clock and temperature.
Does it worth it to take to dealership to take a look at it? Other than this I am happy with the car.
By the way, the previous owner told me that these digits disapear on most of these models after a while and it costs a lot to have MBZ dealership to replace the part?

Thanks for your help in advance.

A definate 208 CLK gremlin...not much to do other than change your temp
readout to Celsius....or roll down the drivers window and feel the outsidetemperature....

 

I just replaced my instrument cluster earlier this year. I had an extended warranty so it was covered.I think it was about $800 - $900. Apparently the original clusters were defective, but Mercedes never recalled them. I don't think there is anything you can do to fix it other than to replace it.

 

have the same problem myself,it gets annoying after a while

 

had the same problem with my 2001, was out of waranty about 3 months , but my buddy at mbz fixed it for free. do not know what they did

 

Hi, You can get it repaired but it does'nt last so i'd replace it!
