  • SL R 230 BJ 12-2003 Roof hydraulic pressure loss or hydraulic cylinder internally leaks

    After the repair with a new sealing ring, I had the impression that the entire hydraulic system is somehow sluggish. Overroll bar only runs up to approx. 70 degrees high instead of 90 degrees. When closing the rear cover, it needs some manual tutoring on the first 30 cm. The cylinder of the roof lock needs some support on the last 2 cm with the help of the bus key to get into final position. In the meantime, I acquired measurement technology and was able to display the pressure. When the control for the rollbar was activated, 170 bar was reached. When the roof was activated, similar values were displayed. Despite all efforts, no satisfactory result. Now the question: 1. Are the 170 bar the setpoint value, or the pressure slips past the seals in the cylinder. How can a sealing pack be repaired on the hydraulic piston? The other cylinders have no noticeable oil losses. Theoretically, there are only two possibilities: firstly, the pump agregate does not bring enough pressure or the built-up pressure loses itself by the piston seal into the chamber of the back / back stage (two ways cylinder back) Is there anything else I have not considered????

  • r230 Comfort battery yourself?

    Hi, would like to change the comfort battery with my SL500 r230 Bj. 2003 because it is quite weakened and therefore already error messages came to me, however, all immediately disappeared after the car ran and battery was full again. I read that the R230 should be very vulnerable because of the whole ECUs.. Now my question to the professionals here. Have a Varta AGM 70Ah 760A in mind. Would that be in order for my SL? And ever the most important thing, I can do this myself. and I have to adjust the window to the right impact like the steering impact? Do I have to pay attention to anything else? Would be great if someone could give me such a step by step instruction Thank you in advance Edit: somehow this appeared under brabus the thread. Have a normal sl500 no brabus..

  • G350BT probably tore control chain at 150,000km

    Good evening, I have the following problem. Last weekend at my G350BT at about 80km/h on the motorway the engine suddenly went out without notice, so no lighting up engine control light or noises. After a long break from the non-existent service of the ADAC he was towed into the workshop today. First guess is that the control chain is torn. Who had to experience something like this? How do I go on? Can I go here on Kulanz from Merce hope, because, for example, a loose control chain at the last service (in November before 5,000km at approx.145,000km) would have had to be recognized? What would you do? What is the worst case of the engine is over and only an exchange engine could breathe new life into the G? Repulse? If so, what can you get for a G350BT, EZ 05/11 with a defective engine? I’m curious about the answers.

  • Slk compressor retrofitting?

    hi, I have a slk200 (without compressor) and as you know, it doesn’t have too much power, so I wanted to help the whole thing a little bit. because with such a classic suction motor most tuning measures hardly bring anything I don’t want to chiptuning, fan-curved, exhaust system, … grab, because that gets in total nevertheless quite expensive and hardly brings anything. but with the slk200 there is also the slk200K (with compressor as standard). blem can be to upgrade my slk with compressor!? someone has already done that, or can you tell me what to consider then? so I don’t imagine that that that’s particularly difficult, because the basic motor is certainly the same, so you just have to screw the compressor, exchange a few parts against those of the compressor model, and that’s it, right? I’m grateful for every tip! mfg

  • New SLK and DC_engineers

    Hi, yesterday I saw the new SLK (still slightly camouflaged). It was on the parking lot with us yesterday (at the drinks market by the way). Unfortunately it was already dark and it was in black. I find the look not bad, but it is a matter of opinion. In any case I saw the half hour later drive open, at approx. 0°C. Maybe the driver tested the new neck heating. I definitely found it hard to drive open at the cold outside temperatures. Greeting Matze

  • Daimler is unportable!

    Hi friends, don’t you think it’s pathetic that the overgrown Daimler shots like CLK-SL-55 (which I really like very much visually) and Co. especially the CL65 on the Nordschleife against the M3 CSL don’t see any country with its very modest 360 hp? My opinion is that Mercedes builds super cars, but not a single real sports car! The fact that all pseudo sports cars from Mercedes have an automatic says everything! I mean that really not bad, I just think it’s funny that the whole AMG group believes that they are on the road with the mega sports car! They have no question of power, but that ars then too! P.S. I am looking forward to the first comparison of the SLR against Carrera GT and Ferrari Enzo! The last place in terms of sportiness is already certain to the SLR!

  • CLK Cabrio – W208 or W209?

    Hello, after the disappointment with the new E-Class (just going back to DC because only broken) I think about a CLK convertible – just what? I have offers for annual cars with a few km – I don’t want new cars anymore, I’m not a test driver for DC – once the model W208 as CLK 200 and 320 V6 and on the other hand a 200 W209. Who knows both models and can tell me what one should pay attention to or are there known defects? I don’t want to have to change again after a short time… Thanks e in advance

  • SLK 350 DVD gugn while driving

    Hello, a colleague of mine bought a SLK 350 Bj. 2005 with Navi. Now he wants to watch the DVD’s he can only in the stand also while the ride gugn, how does it work? With my VW Passat 3bg, there was a Galla signal cable that had to be pushed. Is there that with the SLK also or does it look different or not at all. Would be nice if someone could help me further. Thanks already in advance mfg

  • SLK 350 Duration test 100 000 km..

    Hello friends, the AMS endurance test of a SLK (base price 49 ooo Euro) shows once again that not all “gold is what shines”. If after 70 000 km the leather seat cover on the driver side is closed and had to be changed, the quality managers at MERCEDES still have a lot to do in the future. That the passenger seat is still OK is also logical. The passenger seat is known to be much less used than the driver seat. Toffteilen are not new either. Even after a short period of use, scratches occur unintentionally on the painted plastic parts. Today it is modern that the plastics are painted with so-called “soft coatings” in order to avoid the cheap plastic impression. These soft coatings are unfortunately extremely scratch-sensitive. Conclusion: Appearance obviously before function. Unfortunately! mfG Joe
