1997 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1997 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 covers the car in Elegance trim, offered in two body styles: a 2-door coupe and a 2-door convertible. Both use the same engine, a 3.2L V6 with a single overhead camshaft per bank, breathing without a turbo or supercharger and running on gasoline. Mechanical work is therefore shared between the two bodies, while the convertible's top and its related body hardware set it apart from the fixed-roof coupe.
