Moin friends, will sell my CLK W209 at the end of the year and then get me a SLK. As it looks like, it will be a 350, and the 55s will also appeal to me, primarily because of the V8. Did any of you have any experience with the two vehicles? For me, this looks like there is no big difference anymore. 305 vs. 360 hp, and the AMG weighs 100 kg more. 4.9 and 5.4 from 0-100, is also not so big a difference. If it should become the SLK 350 e, would he definitely get the AMG styling package and AMG-18″, as well as Bi-Xenon, sports suspension/lower, 7G automatic, comand, sound system, leather and seat heating. Any tips & suggestions, what else should absolutely be pure? Or what is superfluous? Best regards Brito

purchasing consultancy SLK 280
hi, come from the e60 forum (bmw 5er) and look for a nice cabrio that is suitable for everyone in my mind Z4 2.5si (r6, 218ps) and SLK 280 (v6, 231ps). we stay with the SLK. how is the motor? enough the power? higher PS can not be afforded by insurance technical reasons I tend to the hand switch, but the question is, is an automatic transmission of MB (don’t know me at all) more useful than a hand switch? should I consider something regarding EZ? thought about it this way 2007 because these were now significantly reduced price. I drove the z4 test today, as I am used to from BMW, was the car of all first visions, the feeling and especially the engine sound impressed me, not to mention the processing, which I hope from MB can also hope to this MB? http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=leubkujw1mtc to identify any defects or errors? missing what about the equipment? is the vehicle with KM a no go? should I rather buy directly at the friendly MB dealer? ask about questions edit: the vehicle has automatic, could I possibly upgrade steering wheel shift paddles? would then be important to me, not to mention the new rims so, so I would have that for the first time. thank you for first pheeR

SLK – rust inside on bonnet !!!
A friend of mine drives a SLK year 1999, 110,000 km, accident-free with original paint. When you open the hood, you can see the inside left under the edge of the hood at the height of the headlight on a length of approx. 15 cm the paint swells or rusts and bursts from the inside! He drove the car to the MB branch, the master said that it is already the 3rd SLK that has this problem. He measured the paint thickness and confirmed that it is all accident-free. Nevertheless, the Mercedes does not compensate the damage because the car is already over 8 years old. Really bad, because it is obviously a mistake of the manufacturer. The master dismissed the rust as a “pure cosmetic problem”. I suspect however that it is only a question of time until the rust eats through the surface. Do not want to know what the hood looks like in 5 years. Mercedes does not even want to replace a smart repair. What should the 8-year limit? Builds MB cars that should last only 8 years Bin very much over SLK is considered to be stainless. Who can say anything about this or who has had similar experiences?

SLK gift
My grandmother decided to leave her car in the garage at the age of 86 and give it to her grandchildren, my sister and me. Now I don’t know if that makes any sense at all. Is it about the SKL first series in disgusting light blue baby color. Apart from the color, I don’t know much about the car at the moment. My grandmother could tell us about the car. The car got a new TÜV badge and didn’t have to go to the workshop due to any defects. I assume, however, that the KM stand should be kept within limits. She bought the car as an annual car about 5 years ago and then drove more and more rarely, due to worse eyes etc. Now I wanted to ask here for tips. How expensive is it? Is it worth it, or do you rather recommend selling the car and then buying yourself a smaller cheaper one? Unfortunately, I have no idea of cars at all and in my circle of friends everyone tells me something different. Let’s see what you can contribute to the decision. Thank you already. Greeting, Max

Missing cover in SLK 350 under the hood
Last week I discovered by chance that under the hood in the area of the vents a cover (in driving direction right , where the battery is located ) is missing. A call to the friendly one and he ordered me then this part with mounting material. According to the statement there are probably also models, which have no cover !? My model here allegedly does not belong to it. When I wanted to install it this evening, I noticed that there has never been a cover mounted. The drill holes are available, but no plug-in sockets into which the screws can be attached. I noticed the sockets, but why have never been there before? Could you check on occasion how this is with you?

SLK R171 BJ 2004
Hello together, drive an Audi A4 1.8T at the moment and think about buying a SLK. An acquaintance offered me his also by chance at the WE. It is a R171 BJ 2004 and has just run 25,000 km. However, has a small bump on the hood and the aluminium rims sniffed a little bit. Since I don’t know myself so well with the SLK I would have liked to have a few opinions. Isn’t the R171 only come out in 2004? So because of childhood diseases? Is there something out of what f you should pay special attention? Unfortunately I can’t say anything about the equipment yet. Wanted to see the car the days. What would see as a good price? I would be happy about answers. Greeting, Kevin

E 320 (V 6 petrol) Oil level increases minimally
Hello forum, I have a question: With my E 320 T V 6 (i.e. petrol engine) with approx. 191 000 km from ́01 it seems to me that the oil level will increase minimally in very small quantities. At perhaps 14 000 km approx. one and a half to two millimeters (not centimetres). The vehicle does not consume any coolant, smokes and steams out of the exhaust, runs very well, does not need a bit of oil. I drive about 20 % city, otherwise only on long distances AB and highway (approx. 200 to 500 km with bet still the oil smells a little bit like gasoline, but it actually has it quite easily with all my cars, even if I drove in the year 40 and 50 tkm. Are the injection nozzles leaking very easily, or is the oil level only now in the summer (would be an explanation for me) higher by considerably higher oil temperatures (even at 30 degrees and sharper driving) than in the winter or do I just worry too much? The next Assyst B would be in 2100 km. I look forward to your answers! Many greetings Daniel

G 400 CDI (aid for alternators)
Hello Talker, I need your help !! I have a G 400 CDI and 3 months ago after washing (high-pressure spotlight) flashed in the display battery / generator defective and shortly afterwards undervoltage. I drove to my dealer. He told me that the alternator was defective. It was checked additionally still at MB = alternator defective. Well can happen is stupid because very expensive. I had the damage repaired for a lot of money and everything was wonderful again. Last Friday was i ch again when washing (high-pressure spotlight) and now the shock in the display of the beautiful note battery / generator and shortly afterwards undervoltage. It probably cannot be that already Lima is in the ass again. The installed was an overhauled alternator. Who knows about this problem with the G or the 400. I would be happy about your help. After washing also the Automati light did not go on. This can now be done again and I have about 11.0 volts voltage in the extended display. I am happy about hints. Greetings Tomi

Better seats for G class WDB 463
Dear forum visitors, I have tested a used G55 model year 2003 (WDB 463) today. I am interested in the purchase and this would be my first car of this class. I noticed – and I am aware that this was already criticized by other drivers – the execution of the seats in this G class. I did not find a good side support and also the seat, or the leg rest appears to me quite short (although I am not particularly big with 1.78 cm). I am not very comfortable. is that with the last model revision also the seats have been improved, however for me, such a young G55K from financial guilds is not possible. My question is therefore whether someone has experience with an exchange of seats. Are the new seats available for example and can be installed at a G of 2003 or is there possibly a specialist company that offers a retrofit? What is the experience of the G-drivers with the seats? If one gets used to the quite spartan seating comfort or tiresome I would be happy to hear about experiences and much more about exchange and/or improvement tips. Warm greetings, D. PS: What I also found interesting on the test drive is that from speed 170 km/h the sheet metal of the bonnet really got into vibration. You can also call it “flatten”, although the hood was correctly closed. Is this also normal?
