    Hello together. Have a question to you someone from you has ever installed on the 350er the exhaust system of the 55????? Could a cheap buy, just with the disassembly there is a problem.

Be grateful for every tip or for every instruction what has to be done, s customise etc. Thanks to in advance.

  • The SLK needs new modules !

    Especially now in the cold season it would not be bad for a “luxury vehicle” name SLK, if there was also a seat heating module in addition to a roof module, which at the push of a button would warm the ice-salots leather seats already 5 minutes before the start of the journey. In addition, possibly also at the push of a button the possibility to start the engine via remote control and to preheat the car interior. Sure, this can be done with a satellite heating, but a stand heating has probably the least vehrfbaut. izte Garage has, for him this is also not a topic, but maybe he also parks his car in winter occasionally for a few hours outdoors (e.g. cinema, opera, casino,….) at -20 degrees. There would be such a function really angenhem. (IMHO) should be seen from the effort or, the technique, almost easier to make than the roof module. What do you think about it ? Or is there something like that already ?

  • SLC 200 vs. C200 Convertible

    A friend of mine might want to buy a convertible and favor the SLC (quickly used) because he should be quieter inside with the steel roof. I gave him the C200 convertible as an alternative. I don’t know both of them so well. Where do you see the advantages and disadvantages? Actually, 2 seats are enough, but I think a little more reserves for luggage wouldn’t be bad and if necessary four can ride is no disadvantage. I find the look of the C200 convertible with fabric roof beautiful. How do you see that? How do you rate the value retention? The SLC might have a very good value retention after the end of the series, right? At Mobile I have the feeling that the prices are rising. Does the SLC200 feel much faster (because it is lighter)? j.

  • 250 Gasoline Recommended?

    Hello, we are planning to buy a SLK 250 gasoline from 2014 or 2015 for my wife and the performance is enough for us thick. I am currently driving an S212 350CDI. Are there any known problems with the 250 gasoline engine? What weaknesses do you have to pay attention to? A 6 cylinder would be better for me personally, but with a city share of 70% the smaller engine is just a little more economical. For the long distances and the family we take the combination anyway.

  • Change gas springs boot cover yourself?

    Hello, I bought a SLK 200 compressor from Jg. 2004 3 weeks ago. I’m very happy with the car, but the trunk can only be opened with a little power, the gas springs are probably gone. Does any of you have similar experience and can give me tips whether you can (woman!) exchange it yourself or rather let it be done in the workshop? Doesn’t all look too difficult to exchange this… Rejoice me on your feedback! To all fathers: beautiful Father’s Day for You! SLKine

  • SLK 350 Sportmotor General questions

    Hello dear motor-talker, First of all, I used the “search” and read myself about this model, yet I have a few questions, who has desire and time can answer me gladly. I think about buying a SLK 350 R171 Sportmotor 305ps for the next few years. My questions: As I understood this is a relatively solid engine, which has hardly any defects. For cylinder coating, which consists of aluminum-sil? I know engines M278 I mean the also this coating but have these come in. Why doesn’t this happen here ? Chain problem should have been fixed as I understand since the sports engines have been built ? Suction flaps should cause problems with the M272 with 272ps, what kind of technology does the sports motor that it is not affected by ? Other defects, oil loss (where) and thermostat + water pump should be a topic, is that correct ? Difficult to exchange yourself ? General durability, your running performance would i Sound: What exhaust systems do you have under it, the SLK 55 should be violent, but registration almost impossible? Consumption: How much do you consume especially in the city ? Track profile: does the engine pack away short distance well ? Body –> As far as solid as I have understood ? (Backach’s problem should be taken over by Mercedes) Refueling: Does the engine need Super or Super Plus. (If Super makes possible, does it also make the same performance ?) Makes sense to have a now 2024 z u buy because the cars are not getting younger? Which equipment is the most important in the car? Sound system to the standard system sports package Usw. I thank you already in advance, for answering my questions and wish you a nice day. Greetings
