Hey is currently looking for something small compact and above all cheap for me. I don’t drive regularly, so no long distances to work and when I drive mostly short distances in the city and surroundings of Hamburg. Wants a car that drives reliably for the next 2-3 years. I found this SLK at mobile.de: http://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?… Mercedes-Benz SLK 200*Automatics*WEIHNACHTSANGEBOT*TÜV 03/2018* First registration: 01/1998 Kilometer level: 142. 000 km Fuel type: Petrol Power: 100 kW (136 hp) Price: 2.400 € in sight and will look at it tomorrow. Do you see more than I in the display or can you give me tips regarding the weak points of the car ? And what else I would have to pay attention to ? rust should not have it externally. And is in the 3 hand. Unfortunately has no climate … but otherwise the equipment is enough for me. What do you think of the offer.

Hola SLKler, I recently bought a SLK 200 compressor R170. At a car dealer who is also a car master. By chance I became aware of the keyword oil top kabal. So, now I passed by at MB, and let me see if the oil top cable is already in it and they told me that it can be installed for 50,- EUR. Unfortunately, it was found that the oil is already in the control unit and also the Lambda probe would be affected. Since this is actually still In the warranty of the dealer, the oil stop cable has not been installed with the hint, both the camshaft adjuster, as well as the wire harness, the control unit and the lampda probe should be replaced (approx. 3000 EUR). *uaaa* In case of demand with the seller (Car dealer/master) he said that he wants to clean this and then install the oil stop cable (MB wants to earn only money). Now my question is, is that right, or what can be cleaned and what needs to be replaced? According to another MB branch, in which I asked for a second opinion, only the oil lubrication is a damage or lack of the thing, even without the engine or the control unit ticking around. The OBD lamp is not yet burning. They continued to think that at least the wire harness and the magnet at the camshaft adjuster should be replaced, about 350 + 60 EUR. My legal protection could be Unfortunately I don’t say if it’s a lack, for that I would have to consult a lawyer, which I would like to do without, especially since my other car is already sold, I have bought new rims, winter tires etc., i.e. I don’t want to actually resign from the dealer. Well, what do you think, is it a lack if it has not yet come to a damage to the ECU, Lambda probe etc.? I am grateful for every tip, maybe someone has already had such a thing done and knows the prices with work time, because I can’t do it myself 😉

Now I have just read how I can make a basic carrier + ski carrier a friend in my SLK 55 AMG! And the sobering thing is: you can’t! There are for the SLK 200 – 350 retrofits so that you can mount a basic carrier + module if this has not happened ex factory! Only with the AMG package, which is part of the 55er, it is not possible! Has someone perhaps done this already or knows how this can work??? I find really mad that it is from W it is feasible, but in hindsight it is no longer possible… LG Basti

Hello together, I play with the idea to add a SLK (current series, ideally according to MOPF, possibly but also before). If possible, with Comand System. Is it possible here to upgrade the media interface to control the iPhone or must this be ordered ex factory? Thanks for a tip Michael

Hello, since I want to buy a SLK 171 as already mentioned, I am currently looking around on the Internet. What to look for if you want to spend approx. 26 – max. 28. It should definitely be one after Mopf. But is it better, e.g. Bauj. 2008 and 10,000 km the year of construction 2009 and 35,000 km? Maybe someone can help?

Who can help ? The SLK200 Bj.1999 R170 was parked while shopping on the parking lot and afterwards he didn’t spat on anymore !! He starts, turns briefly and goes out again. After about 6 months he still does not run, although 3 workshops have tried it. Petrol pump runs, K4o swapped and all power connections checked – NO success !!EXCLAIMER shows the following error : 1. Engine control unit NO communication. 2. Wheel speeder comparison not in order Had possibly jem and the same problem ?? Tips, advice, suggestions DRINGEND requested. Thanks and LG Bernhart

Hello, at my SLK today suddenly the following error occurred (Bj. 2001, 230 Compressor) The ZV does not work anymore via the key, the inside button goes. The turn signals indicate how normal 3x when closing, 1x when opening, but it does nothing. Manual unlocking of the left door works, but the trunk, tank flap and right door are not locked. Does anyone have an idea or a solution? Thank you and Gruss Juppi

Good morning to all SLK fans and specialists, I intend to buy a SLK R171 55 AMG. In the net there is hardly anything about the 60tkm. I found one, a Japan reimport from 2005 reimported 2008. Here approved and upgraded. Currently around 58000km very good condition also on the underbody like new question, what do you think about it, all KD made at Mercedes in Germany and various parts changed on the chassis. Gear oil changed. What can cost so much, what must I pay attention to. It’s gonna be just a summer vehicle with me. Nice Easter in general….Neurologist

Day together, I’m back. After a few years with a TT8S roadster I’m back at the SLK. Again in blue the last model R172. he has the panoramic roof unfortunately no Magic Sky which I find very nice. I would like to seal it and polish it. Does anyone know if it is “real” glass or is it plastic? Glass polish and sealing I probably have what works very well on car glass side panels. In this model with Command 20 and Navi NTG 4.5 funktio The Ipod Touch is very good, even the covers are shown. Now the Krux with it. Next entry I can select with the arrow keys. Only if I listen to an album I can not select the next title he then jumps on to either the next album or also individual title. Unfortunately I have no instruction for the command 20. Greeting from Essen Thorsten

Hey guys, I have no idea about cars and don’t understand much about the things here in the forum I have a 230k Slk r170 from the year 97 the car ran 170tkm. I bought the car 4 days ago. Yesterday the oil lamp went from time to time and when I opened the bonnet to check the oil level surprised me this puddle (see picture) which was not available when buying. Since tomorrow’s holiday I can only go to the workshop Tuesday but I need the car while actually, so I would be very grateful if you might have a clue about the oil coming before and if this might be a bigger problem. Thank you in advance
