Battery check Mercedes-Benz CLK 2002 - 2005

Locate the battery

First, release the pipework from the battery cover

Open the battery cover/pollen filter housing - undo the three retaining clips

Place pollen filter/cover to one side. Now is a good time to change the pollen filter

Now check the Negative (-) terminal clamp is tight

Check the Positive (+) terminal clamp is tight. CAUTION If using a spanner to tighten terminal, be careful not to short it on the bodywork

Check battery is generally secure, if loose, tighten the battery retainer

To tighten, a 13mm socket is needed. Not too tight because you may damage the battery casing

Replace the battery cover/pollen filter
