Hello I’ve been driving a 107 for 22 years, and I bought a R230 some time ago The following question concerns me since I’ve been driving open with this car: If the aut. closure of the roof fails: How fast can you close the roof manually? Does that work alone? Does anyone have real experience with it? Does one possibly have a tarpaulin in the trunk for the absolute emergency? Thank you SL-Helge

Hello together, I recently bought an R230 for hobby. When you open the driver’s door, the indicator comes in the instrument cluster: Put the gear lever in P. It is teeming. Detach the selector lever and the electrical part sideways removed. The thing disassembles. With a brush the board cleaned and reinstalled. Same error still. Platin plugged in in the car and the LED of the fork light barrier for the switching position controlled. Light was there. A used EWM in the network. ordered to try out, unfortunately the parcel driver had no desire to wait today, so EWM not delivered. So to pass the time the EWM disassembled again and controlled the forklight barrier and the magnifying lamp. In a barrier was in the depression of the lamp something different-colored . compressed air taken and carefully blown in. That stood a few fibers out. Carefully pulled out and a whole bushel of dust from it, which had nested in the light cave. M take care of it early and control it. Would be a small victory over the fault devil again. Greetings Micha

Dear SL friends and connoisseurs of the KE Jetronic! I have the problem with the 91er that he has puffed warm and went out up to inaccessible. At the KE you can pull off several parts or plugs and it would still run. A plug from the actuator was mentioned once. The associated control unit etc. Can someone please give information. Maybe with a photo so that you can start working on it as lay a little bit. I want to make myself to the troubleshooting. V Thank you and all of you for a beautiful and sunny day!

The car has 2 problems. – It only starts when it has been tried 3, 4, 5 times via starter – runs then not bad properly silky even at very low speed as long as it is cold. – as soon as the car gets warm starts to jerk and no gas, then gets worse and worse until that the car takes no more power maybe then still runs on 3 cylinders, then more and more sounds like tractor, no more power assumes, one no more mountain comes up and one voluntarily the Also the ASR always goes on – but was already before – after a short turn off then goes again impeccable WHAT IS THAT ??? Could it be that the kat is closed? Car stood a little more often the last years was also tried with injection cleaner – it was so much better. Nevertheless it was never so bad – vehicle can not be used like this the following has already been replaced: – flammable candles New ngk 6er worth not destroyed – zünkappen, distributor and fingers new however not the bosch but the one from bremi – injection valve all new!

Hi! Those of you who have/had similar problems with the SL R 230: -Range of the steering shock absorbers had to be changed several times -stapping noises Interior/roof brakes knock -Vehicle had difficulty (Diff. R/L up to 30mm) -tire pressure control reports error -designo-inside sky mounted from factory to factory (4 appointments were necessary for adjustment) -Quiet front axle when springing with inserted steering -ABC suspension reports error -strong wind noise side windows -vibrations vo n the rear axle at 110 and 160 km/h -case compartment cover partly cannot be closed -window lifter driver side defective -mirror suspension driver side defective – crack in AMG front apron (changed on warranty) It is particularly annoying that Mercedes could solve these problems almost always only by a 2nd appointment. In addition, I find it silly with a car with BJ03 and a new price over 100,000 EUR that the command system still not all phone book entries from the mobile phone out Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Is there any way to eliminate the noise of the shutters in the interior? Since my SL has almost more in the workshop than I have, my dealer has now been approved for a change at DC. But now he only wants to do it if I order a new SL at the same time. Does anyone have any experience with the subject of change? Thank you! T.Werner

Hello, when studying the ads in mobile and autoscout as well as mercedes, I noticed that the price at good old mb on average is between 5% and 10% above the average market price. What are your experiences, or has mercedes included a higher discount? Today’s used car dealers also have to take over a guarantee.

Hey guys, I just discovered something nice and I thought that could be interesting for others…. a lot of fun Quotation: Original Quelle GMX Because when you buy this special model limited to 200 copies, you get a timepiece (“Great Engineer” from the Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen as an input. Cashmere white painting The SL 63 AMG IWC stands out mainly due to its extraordinary cashmere white painting and a carbon package on the outside as well as on the inside. e the edition of this roadster is also the interior: there the well-tended AMG customer finds a tobago brown nappa leather padding, electrically adjustable AMG sports seats as well as a seat heating. The SL 63 is equipped with a two-colour AMG performance steering wheel with a reduced diameter, bottom flattened steering wheel wreath and silver-coloured aluminium gear paddles. On the way the SL is on 19 inch AMG lightweight metal wheels in double spoke design. 55/35 R 19 and 285/30 R 19 respectively. A V8 suction engine with 6.3 liters of displacement and a rich 386 kW/525 hp provides for propulsion. The torque is 530 Nm. In 4.6 seconds, the AMG accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h. The top speed is reached at a controlled 300 km/h. The SL 63 AMG Edition IWC is available from autumn 2008. (AG)

Hello to the country, today I had in the garage under the right wheel box a small puddle. It looked like clear oil at first. After removing the rubber stopper I could fish out with my finger something crumbled and other dirt. I assume that it was a decomposed plastic part. In the cavity it was damp. I did not drive in the rain for a long time. Could it be that the process was only clogged and water was collected in the wheel box or can it be are about another liquid. I haven’t found any rust yet.

Hello together, I saw pictures of the new SLK at my dealer today. He had an information folder for sellers. The car looks really good. Press photos and sales release is the 21.12. MArktintroduction is the 05.04.2008 Greetings and nice Christmas. princepolo, whose wife is looking forward to the new SLK.

I’m just looking around for a second car at Mobile and had to find this here…. http://suchen.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html?… I think that’s a fake or ? A SL55 V8 compressor with 715 hp ??? No Brabus, Carlsson and also no AMG or Kicherer did. How can this be done ? Who knows what was done there or which tuner did that … then would like to know what he gets out of a SL600/V12 !!!
