Hello, my dad drives a new SL350, now with 16tkm on’m tacho. Every now and then I can drive with the cart. So also 3weeks ago. It turned out that a buddy was standing at the traffic light next to me and put it on it. I looked at the whole relatively loosely. He has a Peugeot 206 S16 with 136hp. (should need according to Peugeot 8.9sec. from 0-100.) Well, at least he really left me standing, what called me on the plan, to investigate what is going on! So: Stop clock taken and measured:8,29sec and 8,23sec Well, that’s exact one second too much, according to information. What can that be? On the tires? In the summer my dad has 285 flaps on the rear. On his driving style? I’m the only one who has ever driven over 200km/h and used the kickdown. On the automatic? Series is the Seq. 6-speed transmission, my dad has decided on the 5-speed automatic? Or what else can be the reason. With the 206 we measured a 7,5-7.6 en! Thank you for “debugging” mfg GMTD2

On Friday I had a rather funny experience at a Mercedes branch in Stgt. Since I was in Stgt anyway, I wanted to look at some extras in the car dealership, which I ordered even though I still have one or the other question about it. In the conversation with the saleswoman I then slipped out that I am a company member and actually only have a few questions. The reaction to this was as if I had demanded a sexual performance from her. I was then quickly swarmed away. Obviously you will only be treated courteously if an order could be placed directly in the car dealership in question. Actually a weak picture, especially since it is still very short-sighted, because as a company member you need of course also a branch in which you can make inspections and buy accessories. In my case this will probably not be the establishment Stgt. Would I be interested whether some of you have done similar things, or whether the al again was one of the much quoted unfortunate exceptional situations. Greeting Jörg

I drove the MB slk 200 Bj. 99 for 1 year. So my thing was not exactly too little comfort. The seats are too little upholstered leather seats) and the side parts also start to loosen themselves …. and this should be a good car now !!! Well … Since only positive thing I can say is: He looks really good… It’s just a car for other people but not for a self (NUR EIN HINGUCKER)… I sold last month and went to the Audi A6.. I can only drive the MB slk 200 Bj. 99 for 1 year. gen : Now I know what LUXUS is : AUDI A6

Hi @all. I hope I’m right here and you don’t find it brazen that I’m just going to open up a new topic here. I’m only 17 years old but I’m very technical and interested. My opi has now a new SLK 350. Well noticed one of the first. To our delight. The Mercedes type naturally immediately alerted us to the electronic lockdown. And I would like to know how or better if you can bypass this part or even expand it. already helped with a Haiabus (I think that’s how you write the) to expand the electrical locking and now the part is running over 300kmh. I hope one of you can help me. Of course I only need the instruction for racing trails on a private site. Grins. What the otherwise. Mfg Vhmpartyzone

Hello together.. also a wonderful Hello to the R230 driver, After a long time I arrived here again with you in the middle (short trips through other forums.. with the result … people so bad what it is not .. and how I find .. Tolerance is only implemented with you… more precise by PN if it is interested and “man” would like to wonder again) To my question: Which fat do you actually use for the leather repair? I have something of an Elephant fat g ehört (leather center) is this okay for the price? Many greetings from NRW and as always I wish you R129 and R230 handlebars a good ride! Sl_fahrer also many happy greetings to our Ortler

Hello, I’m interested in an SL450 from 1980. The vehicle is offered with 160kW/218hp. If I’m not mistaken, the 450 ́s were exported to the US with less power (bad quality of the gasoline). Is that true? Furthermore, the third brake light is missing with this car. That was in the USA at that time, right? In advance already thanks.

Hello, I’m thinking about buying a nice R107 because I’m already dreaming of it my childhood. Now I have no idea about the engines at all. He should not be a everyday car but honor what to be for weeks and the beautiful days of the year. Which engines are really recommendable? I think the 280er would be enough because racing can’t be done with brakes and suspension from 30 years ago anyway. But is the 280er also empfelenswert ? or rather a 350er ? i de nke the 450 does not have to be, but I just want to know which engine is really to be recommended or whether it is only a matter of taste ….? and what should I pay attention to ? so general weakness etc … thank you in advance ….

Hello, I have the SL 560, from the end of the 80s. I would like to hear from you your experiences what it is like if you leave the car untied for a long time. What should you do with it no or little damage? I think that there should be enough gasoline in it so that nothing dries out in the tank of seals or what rusts; disconnect the battery; park dry and cover. One does just that, the other does so. But what would the facts be more correct 🙂 I red e park here already really from a long time. Maybe even unsubscribe, since it does not really make any sense financially. That would be months if not more than 1 year. Evtl also has information about parking possibilities to itself (Room Berlin). I wanted to hear from you before I contact Mercedes Benz directly. I thank you already for your experiences.

Hello Forum reader, I have some question what your experiences with the color Flamenco red are. Does the color remain long-lasting? (grey/blass) Is the color time bound? Does the color incline more to red or too brown? In addition, in combi with Diamond stitching (example picture) Do you remember what is in rows by the pattern? Does the pattern stay in front/shape for a long time? For the time being, thank you. Gruss, Hans

Hello together, after four years of SL55, two amg-less years I finally hit again and bought a used SLS. two things I would like to optimize on this vehicle. Does any of you know which company produces the carbon parts for this car? I am looking for the engine compartment cover made of carbon, which as a first-hand part costs more than 6000 euros. That is definitely too much. And does anyone know which company produces the steering wheels for AMG? I have a special wish, de maybe someone can help me, also per pn! thank you and vg from Ulrich
