Hello friends of the Sl. I’m new here and say first to all HALLO! I think I bought an electronic construction site. Here my 1st problem. The vehicle does not open with the radio key. The driver side shows red at each press. Side and trunk show green. The interior compartments close however always when red lights up, no matter which lock. The vacuum pump was defective, therefore the previous owner always mechanically closed with the key. The pump always starts, no matter what lock I use. Would be happy if one can help me. Greeting to all ! Achim

Hello everyone, I want to take up this topic and read your opinion on it. I have a amber SL 320 BJ 1999 (model year 2000) and I am thinking that I would like to have all the attachments like spoilers and side planks painted in white, or completely in black. (I know that this can be an obstacle when reselling ) The first solution I would think would be an eye catcher and an alternative to a complete painting. The reason is that a lot of people talk to me about this color and no one really sees the great Aurto yet, but only the color and that really upsets me…. So sell or repaint, I currently have it in Autoscout24 and Mobile.de inside, but not one has registered and when giving me a new one, the dealer does not give me much more than 19,000 €. So are the thoughts that concern me more and more … hmmmmmm

Hi guys, does anyone know more about the facelift of the R171 in spring 2008? Will the 200 compressor then have 184 hp as in the current series? Or is a diesel offered in the SLK?? Hope you can help me, thank you in advance for your contributions!

Hello I’m still a little bit surprised by an SL and I’m getting more and more the question, what do I take or better what do I get. What do I want to do with it: It’s supposed to be a summer car and comes into the garage from November. The car will only be driven inside the city as fun, maybe a vacation (Baltic Sea) mostly fly but. I want to have fun with it and should be considered for the next 10 years as still horny model.What would I get? I would be willing to spend so up to 75k. A 500er will be difficult with a 350er you get there already a lot more equipment etc. Maybe I should wait another year because there is still something going on at the price and thus take a 500er or?General question times to the image I asked some of my customers times how it would be with a 500er SL. The answers were very different from, but I didn’t have a lot of years to drive the same big Porsche in the Grarage now, but I didn’t really have to be interested in what you did with a 500er SL.

Good morning Our friend ” SL Rider ” has rightly remarked that we sometimes tend to pull something off the subject. Since many of us are currently on the journey (some with their car ), let’s talk about CONSUMPTION. Not the Stuss which the manufacturer indicates, ….. no, what really goes through the Roehre. I come to this idea because our housekeeper (not here ) is traveling with her BMW 630i Coupé over 1900 kilometers to Portugal. My former director and friend comes to Gordes over 700 kilometers highway. ( between Avignon and Apt ). 997 Targa. ( He wants to go away from Porsche ) But the greatest thing is yet to come. I will bring in the next few weeks a new C 5 diesel from Metz to Marbella, this is 2,100 kilometers. The owner leads with a second car ( small Renault with ). Both cars stay in Spain. I am of the opinion that consumption rather something with the weight of the foot and the temperament of the driver has to do with the Gruesses, as well as the crowd of the moon.

Moin Moin I’m back again Since I’ve come across really competent help in my other topic, I’d like to tackle the next topic, for the backlights I have enough information now and have to study now So for two days now my rear window on the side of the Beifahmer no longer shows a sign of life. So really absolutely none. It doesn’t lower when I open the roof. It doesn’t lower when I open the door. It doesn’t lower when I open the window in front. And of course, it doesn’t lower itself when I drive it. So absolutely nothing. I checked the fuses. Everything good! What else can that be? So it doesn’t make any more mucks! And before that worked perfectly. The engine can’t be over or? Can there be a plug off? Have the disguise taken off there once, but apart from a little “other” aggregate I couldn’t find it all hidden under metal. Does someone have a thought-out for me? By the way, it’s almost like that it was something else.

Moin people, have you read this: A, B, and our favorite car are affected … how annoyingly for the people who have just ordered a car and then get told by their shipowner the car unfortunately does not get a registration. Well, will there be only a short-term problem and hosts of MB lobbyists are currently working on the French. Arbua1, don’t you open your SL roof under the French sun? What’s going on there? In the SPON report, there’s still a left: Quotation: Daimler recoiler: Daimler was the first German manufacturer to fill models of the Mercedes SL sports car with the new refrigerant since spring 2012. At the end of September, however, the company announced that R1234yf no longer wanted to use it anymore, because in other internal crash simulations the refrigerant had lighted up several times. The industry was caught cold by it, since uncertainty about how to deal with the controversial coolant prevails. If that’s true, MB doesn’t want to use the new calender. But what I ask myself as it looks likes other manufacturers.

Hello, yesterday I was on the highway. The navigation (current comand with TMC Pro) showed a traffic jam on the way back in the display about 20 km long (red car symbols on the right side of the route). The reason was a construction site (which I already saw on the way up). Nevertheless, it piloted me directly into the beginning of the traffic jam. At that time I just drove a intermediate piece on a federal road and then didn’t do so. Navigation on the highway (where the traffic jam was already back to the driveway), but drove the almost parallel and completely free federal road for approx. 25-30 km further and chose in the comand the menu item “Stau ahead” and then after the indicated end of the traffic jam (construction site) to switch back to the then completely free highway there. Since the reason for the traffic jam, as said, was a construction site, it can hardly be that the traffic jam was present 20 km before the construction site and then did not continue to the construction site. What I ask myself: Why did the comand directly put me into the traffic jam?”

How do you think about it? I’m going to have to go back to the car. I’m going up a road with the SL. On the right a high curb, cars parked on the left. I’m almost at the end of the long row of parked cars, there’s now the mom next to the second parking car seen from her side (while behind me about 30-40 cars are lying) and just stand there. I’m going to show her with the hand that the road width between her VW bus and the high curb is not enough to drive by. What does she do? Still stop and symbolize me, I’m going to drive there somehow. Behind the mom don’t drive a car (behind me either). I wait briefly, she just stops and seems to be already mad. Ultimately, I don’t have to drive back to two of them, but I don’t have to have to drive back to one of them all.

I’ve been trying for days to find a solution to my problem, but some threads end up only in the Nirvana and don’t get any further. The following: A workmate brought me his SL 500 Bj. 2005 because neither roof nor central locking went. I could do that with the roof by changing the fuse. However, the ZV still doesn’t go. When the remote control is activated you hear a clear cracking out of the trunk. I guess that comes from the ZV pump. The turn signals are turned on and the alarm system also seems to go partially. Partly because when the vehicle is locked with the emergency key and I then close with the remote control, then open again manually with the emergency key, without opening previously with the remote control, the headlights flash, but there is no sound. The thing is now complicated because my colleague has previously made the roof, but not already brought the trunk separation into the correct position. Now also the roof is not open and we do not have to turn under the battery. But the handle is still there.
