Service B

Hi All:

Quick question, my 2005 CLK was due for Service B, I had my regular mechanic do the entire service B, change oil, do all the inspections etc etc.

The only thing is I cant get is the service warning light switched off, none of the Mercedes Benz centers here wont switch it off for me.

So what do I do, pay Mercedes $500 to have the Service B re-done?

Has anyone run into this problem before, I have just gotten rid of a 03 Jaguar S type, all service was included in the vehicle, I currently also own an 07 BMW 525 I, all service is included, on my previous 02 C240 all service was included, now on 05 CLK no service is included. I think this will be my last Mercedes, anyway anyone got any suggestions?

Dude you can try this it works fine with my Merc C200K sports 02 model-My former MB mechanic showed me how to do this -
In your dash using the scroll arrows and menu guide call up the display for total mileage - so as this display is the default setting - then scroll thru the menu until you find the display for service A/B once this display is showing in the dash press the small reset button - the display will ask the question do you want to reset the service miles -obviously answer yes - job done. NO need to take to MB or use a laptop to clear down the mileage setting.

Best of luck

The method is also listed in your manual. Now if we could just figure out where the oil dipstick tube is?????
