Hello, maybe someone has a few tips for my problem here. The alternator no longer charges the battery at my year 1997 SLK. Among other things on the BAB. I measured today everything that occurred to me times with a multimeter. The Lima delivers 19.5 volts. This voltage also arrives at the separation relay/crash relay (near the battery, was installed until about 1998 in the SLK). However, it does not go from there to the battery. On the line are only the approx. 12.7 volts. the battery on. So probably the relay did for what it is intended for and the connection Lima to the battery cut off. On the one hand this probably means that the separation relay has to be new. On the other hand, however, the question arises why the Lima supplies 19.5 volts. There could of course be the regulator of the Lima defective. In another forum post someone had a similar problem and the Lima for a new one changed and in consequence the new one produced exactly the same overvoltage. Only when he the I switched the separation relays again. On the pathogen line of the Lima I have with ignition and engine from 0 volts. On ignition I measured 0.8 volts there and with running motor it fluctuated between approx. 12 and 14 volts. I ask myself the following questions: Without having the current plan now it looks as if the pathogen line from the area of the motor control unit. Could this have a problem, which the Lima controller does not work? Is just the Limar or can the disconnection relay be the causer and it comes to the overvoltage because no more consumers are on the Lima? My concern is that I unnecessarily install a new Lima (and new/used disconnection relay) (there is either no new controller or is relatively expensive) or a new disconnection relay and this burns again because of the still existing overvoltage. With all this hope I don’t think the engine control unit can be the cause. I have attached a picture of the separation relay. Who knows each other and how best to proceed? Thank you!

Hello @ all, I have a strong problem since the beginning of the year that as soon as I turn on the climate it starts to fiep cruelly. Sounds really crazy. Meanwhile it makes this sound even when the climate is off. Think this comes from the direction of blower? Perhaps. Relay defective? The sound is apparently also speed dependent because when I step the clutch and it is going away at 800Upm. cupper I again is back after half a minute. Hl this is also gone and comes back when the speed falls. Furthermore, there is another thing that slowly disturbs me. When the climate is on and I turn on the light, the blower switches off completely. climate cannot be switched on/off. Circulation air no reaction. Light in the instrument board becomes darker. Only when I wait for the ventilation position to 0 place and a few seconds the ventilation works again. Platin defective? Relay defective? Thanks everything that can help me. .

Hello, I drive a SLK R170 and also have the problem with the sporadic light on the BAS/ASR warning light in the cockpit. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: I start the car and the warning light lights up. If I turn off the engine now while driving and then switch on again, the warning light goes off. As soon as my car comes to a stop at the next traffic light, however, the BAS/ASR lamp goes directly on again. But as I said, the problem is sporadic. Sometimes the lamp also stays out, od It doesn’t even start at all. FIRST REPARATURE MEASURE: I changed the brake light switch during the Christmas days, but without success. By the way, the car did not require any recalibration afterwards. The lamp stayed out after the first ride and only lit up two days later. FEHLERPROTOKOLL: After that, I went to the Bosch Service Center to read out the fault memory. On the error log, the rear brake sensor on the left and the rear brake sensor on the left side of the brake. PROBLEM SEARCH: I find it strange that according to the protocol, both sensors should have failed at the same time and then also function at the same time, and then fail again at the same time. So, according to all logic, this is highly unlikely. I am also surprised that both sensors should always fail at the rear (i.e. left and right wheel sensor) at the same time. Especially since the ABS / ESP Lame is extinguished when I use the car during d After this action, the lamp will only turn on again when the car comes to a complete standstill, i.e. before a red traffic light. Is there possibly still a sensor on the gearbox that could trigger the error message if necessary? Maybe a corroded plug etc.? Every now and then I have heard of reasons like the car battery or the transverse acceleration sensor? If this had to be displayed in the error protocol! So, I This is why I ask for your expertise. Who knows the problem and knows advice or has a schematic that could bring clarity if necessary? Opinions, help, tips etc. – I am grateful for everything. In this sense best regards from Frankfurt am Main, Jens.

Hi together, my wife wants to get away from her Ford Ka (of course) and would like to have a SLK. How women are like that: Equipment doesn’t matter but painted in blue or black because silver is stupid….. Well, the “requirement” to my search. Now I have found one that fits into the budget, is blue and even has a top equipment. In addition, Prins gas conversion (I myself drive a 330i E46 FAcelift with gas and have been enthusiastic for over 60,000 km 🙂 ) leather, aluminum, Winter tires, ESP (which wasn’t a series before 2000) etc. I would probably exchange the aluminiums on site if possible for smaller ones there 18″….. well, easily oversized and the tires are expensive…. Otherwise the super fit. Now my question: can you buy the one? km ok? is this a FAcelift or PreFL? IS THE MOTOR GOOD? other things to consider with the car? Data: EZ 04/1999 KM: 114.504 km Text: Very nice Mercedes 200 SLK with LPG gas system. e, seat heating, electric window lifter. 18 inch wheels as new. Brake system completely new. Exhaust system incl. Kat new. All registered. Very good condition. Original running power. Radio CD-USB+Mp3. Payment and financing possible. Leather equipment black. Upgraded to D4 !!! Control very cheap !!! Gas system is from the company Prins. With warranty and inspection new !!! Thank you already now. Gruss gio

Hello, I’m new here and I need help with the decision! Would you like to chew me a slk either 200K or 230K. How can I find out as a non-specialist or the roof is really dense? I wanted to invest between 7 and 8 thousand euros, How is that with the mileage? Somehow I’m afraid of a mileage of over 70000km. Who can help me with the decision? Look forward to your answers Brigitte

Good evening dear people I finally fulfilled a car dream a month ago! after I drove almost 4 years vw caddy I got a slk 230 compressor, however, the car still presents me in some areas some problems:P 1. when refueling it hisses and there is a pressure compensation. however, as I could read here this phenomenon is normal. 2. I have installed a standard cd radio and just don’t know what this thing for music files swallows! wave files shows it with error and mp3 I can completely forget. which files does this doofe thing play off so that I can finally enjoy my music? 3. I would like to know if I made a good purchase:P (I find yes) my 230 compressor is built year 98 and has 85000 down. color SILBER. he is stocked with a stitching and has a subtle deeper laying. in addition 19 inches rims (tomason tn1 ) were installed on him with a goodyear eagle f1 maturation. also he has xenonsc heinwerfer got missed because I have the cleaning system. ( ka if the standard was:P) the interior is kept completely in black and everything works without problems (seat heating-climate seat adjustments etc.) would please me over numerous answers. ps. I know here there is a search function but I find in the praised 16 million contributions never what I am looking for:P tobi

MB ended the business relationship! Have given our SLK 350 to the MB trust workshop, because for some time now various defects should be removed under the warranty. But last week, we gave our SLK polished and absolutely scratch-free at the workshop – could pick it up again after 2 days, we saw 2 scratches on the paint. We immediately told the service management/workshop management and also that these scratches must have happened here at MB; (for When we paid the car he was scratch-free, especially since we put it there polished) , something happened that really pissed us off. MB told us that they didn’t make any scratches, and if we just wanted to rub around, they want to end the business relationship with us. Reason: a disturbed relationship of trust! What is that? That hits the bottom of the barrel! If you bring a car to the MB workshop, you want nothing to happen to him there. And if, then so The causer did not want to stand there and remove the damage. Moreover, we never liked it, we only wanted to have those repairs carried out, which were on guarantee: rubber seal was desolate, water entered. What is this business thing? Auto o.k. hin– Auto k.o. back? And nobody wants it to be? Naughty yet: Business relationship was then terminated by MB in the Märkische Sauerland!

Servus! I am thinking about a worthy successor of my E46 Coupe ́, and I have now become aware of the SLK. The vehicle is to be used mainly and 95 percent alone, shortly we get a second car (Peugeot 207) as a new car which we will use for larger purchases. Every year I come on a total journey of approx. 15,000 km, and drive daily a distance of approx. 30 km for the return journey to the company, 90 percent motorway. looking for a used vehicle up to approx. 20 – 25,000 € max. which should be fun in driving technology, and as far as possible is still economical in terms of the maintenance costs. At the SLK obviously the rumor he would be THE women’s car par excellence. Where do these statements come from, not that you have to be ashamed of yourself later as a guy on the road. Does the SLK 200 compressor have enough power to have a bit of fun as a man? If a SLK 200 compressor then from year of construction 2008, which at least has a little more power than the older model. In relation to the loss of value the Mercedes should be relatively stable, and the Variodach as well as Airscarf would appeal to me. Actually one should assume that the used car prices should fall, because the new model is in the starting holes, or is that a misbelief? Thank you in advance for your help! Sincerely, CC
