  • NewbieInn in purchase planning

    Good evening, I can’t drive our E30 every day – too bad for rain and snow – says my husband !! But since I need a car and also want to have fun my eye on a SLK year 2005. I’ve already read a lot, but I still have a few questions to the knowing fan community !! Which child’s disease has possibly the model ? I have seen that the rubbers on the roof were very, very thick with vaseline ( ??) greased – is the winter protection or “quish protection” ?? The same applies to trunk separation from hard plastic – there are squeaky noises ? During the test drive I had the feeling that there is something squeaking. The car is pre-equipped for a telephone – has someone experience if an iPhon speaks with the pre-equipment ? Contrary to the many references to a tight steering, the steering was here rather softer – can this be at just under 100,000 km ?! Used car purchase is always a lucky thing – which repairs can make me wo Probably hypotetic soon? So, let’s do this first. I’m very thinking, is not really little money! I’m grateful for every tip. Greetings The Ella

  • How does the R172 go in winter?

    Hello! My SLK will be delivered at the end of March, beginning of April, and I will drive it all year round. Now winter and my question is addressed to all those who drive their SLK R172 now: How does it go with it in the cold season? – I was advised to carry something heavy in the trunk in winter. Do you really have to??? – And … is the roof tight??? (from which I go) – And …. rear wheel drive with such a small sports car in winter is also (Despite all the electronic driving aids?) Would I be glad if you could tell me a little something!

  • Switch SLK R170FL wiper water pump?

    With my SLK the washing water pump has recently failed its service. About inconvenient, if one thinks about the upcoming road conditions. Yesterday I already dismantled the front right inner fender and located the wiper water tank behind it. Contrary to an instruction for the PreFL then unfortunately the wiper water engine is not directly accessible, rather I could feel the pump rather on the other side to the passenger footroom. So my questions: – Is the pump mounted in the direction of the wheelhouse and it has dilute somewhere with me or is my guess that it is mounted on the back of the tank, right? Then the tank would have to be good for at least 2 different connection variants. – If so, how can I get to the pump? Yesterday evening I did not manage to get the container. ther including the pump after loosening a screw and lifting it out of a seat on the underside. It would be possible if I could pull the filler nozzle out of the container. – Maybe someone has a guide on how to replace the pump. Maybe it is only possible if you screw down the plastic threshold next to the inner fender.

  • Winter tyres for SLK 350

    Hello together, I finally get my new SLK 350 on Monday. Unfortunately it’s still winter and I don’t have any winter tyres. I don’t have any tyres or rims. Where do you find complete bikes at acceptable prices and which tyres are to be recommended? Would I be very pleased about tips from you.

  • Battery voltage

    I can probably only answer the question by a car electrician. I noticed that the voltage of the battery is running while the engine is running and the front disc heating is under 12V. I asked in the workshop and they say that would be normal, the Lima would only switch on if necessary. Can one confirm that or is there something lazy with the Lima in my C-Max. Must say that it starts every morning reliably.

  • Vulnerabilities R170 – Purchase advice

    Hello SLK-ler, we might want to separate ourselves from our A-Class and saddle on a SLK, R170. As I have already read, a mopf from BJ in the beginning of 2000 is definitely recommended. What one recognizes, I have already read to myself…. Since now my wife is on the road from time to time also with daughter (6J.), the question arises, whether one can also move on the passenger seat a commercial child seat? Where can the typical weak spots be found? Does the R170 also have rust on the T Which engine is installed with the 200, 230? M111 or M271? Our (main) criteria are as follows: – 200 or 230 – automatic – from mopf – up to about 70tkm – as rustless as possible and no heated box, prefer a well-kept second car with seasonal registration – up to €12000 Thanks in advance. Gruss, benello

  • Fun conversion Ford Escort

    In the evening, we have a club car from our automobile club, which is intended exclusively for fun. Road traffic is no longer with the stove, but only just for fun on blocked asphalt track. The club car is an old Ford Escort. My problem now is that the car is simply too balanced from the chassis etc.. By nothing to get out of the rest, even with handbrake incredibly difficult. Now the car should be converted therefore. It already has a great Spradosen- It’s all allowed, just hold it still. Then things like: – flex springs – fill dampers with other oil (can you open them at the Escort?) – change axle geometry – etc. Let your imagination run free. Only in total it should not swallow up. But should be a fun conversion that is not all too easy to drive.

  • Consumption 1.4 and 1.6

    Why does the 1.4 consume more fuel than the 1.6? So according to the manual it is always like that. I have a 1.4 with 75 hp and it slabs in about 10 liters. Ok with the curb weight that is no wonder. But why should the 1.6 consume less? That annoys me a little, because I bought the 1.4 extra to be a little more economical. I would like to sell the car again and get me the 90 hp because it has even more power. But first I want your experiences and d Listen to reports. Then I’ll really think about it again. 🙂

  • Escort Bj96 1.3L Hydros?

    Hey, I’ve had an Essi tournament with a small 1,3l EFI engine for about 2 months. The engine sounds like a little trecker since the first day… no matter if it’s cold or warm, it’s always clacking, only if it rolls and I don’t give a gas, it’s very quiet. I had first tapped on the hydro plunger, so it was at least with my E30 back then. I’m absolutely not sure because I have no experience with Ford! Would be great again if you could help me! Thanks and mfG cd
