Gaari Means Car. Car Reviews & Car News

Do you know if anything was done to the car when it was parked? Was it properly prepared for storage or was the engine simply turned off 2 years ago? If it was just parked and never started again, above is correct. Many seals will have dried out and will likely start to leak if not replaced. The battery will have been drained by all the control units and have to be replaced. The fuel in the tank and in the lines will be stale and have to be drained, preferably before the engine is first started. There are a lot of things that could have gone wrong internally in the engine and don’t forget about potential external problems. What about some animals possibly nesting somewhere in the engine bay? I’ve seen the damage mice can cause to a wiring harness for example if one or more decide to make a home under the hood of a car.

Unless you get a really good price for this CLK, I’d pass and look for another CLK. The potential list of problems from sitting for 2 years is long and extensive.

I would get all the fuel out of the tank and lines and clean the fuel pump. your also going to want to take out the spark plugs and spray some wd40 on them and give it new fluids like gas oil brake fluid and steering fluid but other than that the engine should be fine.
