  • SLK 230K FACELIFT (M111) CLAPPERS

    Greetings, I have to contact you again with a problem. I have recently been the owner of a SLK 230 compressor in the Mopf version, mileage about 160K. I’ve noticed a strange noise in the engine compartment since the takeover. It sounds like it comes from the left of the engine compartment from the front. More precisely viewed from the left of the engine below, or from the compressor. From exactly 3000 revolutions it becomes clearly audible again. But until then not increasingly, but only from 3000 . Out of interest, I have upgraded the compressor today to take a closer look at it. It can be rotated perfectly, not a game. What surprised me a little, it is absolutely clean. No oil, nothing, as if someone had overtaken it. (See picture.) I had a comparatively old one of my previous still lying with me, this one was smeared with oil inside everywhere. My questions, should that be so, someone has heard this sound already? What I did: Compressor removed and d by hand gone crazy, no game. Camshaft adjuster plugged off and sometimes run, noise remains. Once heard with a broomstick, could also come from under the valve. (Control chain?) I upload two audios, tomorrow I do better again.

  • My CLK’s clapping…

    Hello, I’m new here and I’m glad that I found an internet site where there is a lot of discussion. But I also get in touch because I have a problem… and I hope that already CLK drivers can help with experience. For 2 months I have been driving a CLK 200 Elegance Bj. 11/97. The CLK is a really nice car, I’m in love with it. But, he clatters !! With already slight road bumps comes from the front right a real flapper noise, it sounds as if z .B. the shock absorber would be loose and wiggles back and forth and hits. Or, if the sound comes from behind, as if the hat rack is racing…. Of course, this is hard to describe… But the shock absorber is not, both shock absorbers have already been changed. Two different MB contract workshops were baffled. Everyone hears it, but no master of MB knows where to locate the flapping…. Now I have heard of someone who bought a new CLK in 1997 and also a After 3 months he sold the CLK again… (No, I did not buy the car ! hehe) Someone can help me and already has experiences in this direction, I would be really grateful. Many greetings to all SLK and CLK ́ ER !! Jürgen Uhlig

  • SLK 200 with or without compressor

    Hello, would like to buy me a SLK R170 from before 2000. What do you generally think is a better purchase to buy the SLK 200 or the SLK 200 compressor? I heard that the SLK 200 is a lot cheaper in the insurance than the compressor. And I think I heard that the SLK 200 without the compressor also consumes less gasoline.. Would like to hear your opinion. MFG Andreas

  • Rockfall

    Hello guys, I’ve been proud owner of a SLK 230 Bj 1997 – old but tiptop cared for. A huge fun to shower around with it. I also immediately visited the wash road, what I did with my before bought vehicle within ten years about 5 times … The nasty insects didn’t go off in the wash road. What can you do there. With the high pressure cleaner I don’t dare to beat myself – because of the hardtop (it won’t be that dense). And with a It’s not really good for the paint, is it? I finally discovered two stone strokes on the bonnet when I was leathering. I didn’t notice them before. They look like insect shit … So: Actually they don’t really bother me. However, they are slightly rusty (the sheet metal underneath) and that worries me. If I don’t do anything about it: do I risk that the bonnet rusts through me? Is it necessary to get these things quickly. He wants 450 euros to paint the hood. Should I do that? Tüssi, Carolin-Cherie

  • oil at the magnet switch!

    hello! for about 6 months I’ve had a slk build year 98 with a good 140000 km down.by reading in the forum and the fear in the crack I would have seen a few macks that I didn’t just see I just drove quickly to the benz dealer, absolutely wanted to know if oil is leaking out.Well, after pulling off the plug you saw that miserable already!!I’m not sure if it’s good to use a stopper now,don’t forget how far the oil is already..have so far no appearances,that means the mot orleuchte is “noch” aus!!! don’t like to pay a lot of money for later reperatures.The master thinks I don’t have to do anything as long as there’s nothing to light up what an answer I tell you;-) what do you think it makes sense to put in a stopper or can I assume it won’t bring anything more!? thank you already!!!! gruss JR:-)

  • Thisotto engine !!! ???

    Already about 3 years ago the supposedly ingenious “Diesotto engine” was made public with dream data of MERCEDES and in the press, presented or announced. I am still waiting for it. . . Where is the now? Does anyone know more?

  • Oil pressure indicator W124 / W201 – Engine worn or indicator spins?

    Hello people, also at the risk that some members mekern……… a question about the oil pressure indicator: I would like to know what yours will indicate when the engine is running warm, best after highway ride. The following cases: W124 / E 200 Diesel / 255 tkm / Bj 1995 / oil pressure indicator falls now to 1.5 if warm/hot – Has he not made earlier W201 / 1.8 petrol / 175 tkm / Bj 1992 / oil pressure indicator falls only little off, almost never under 2.5 no matter how hot – Funny or How behaves How could the ad be disturbed? Can it be that the ad doesn’t work properly? Thanks and greeting Peetrock

  • Final speed

    So I always see people who write my C180 running 220km/h or my C200 running 225km/h! Is something broken on my car? In the vehicle license of my C220 Bj.95 it says that it runs 210Km/h and they are standing on the highway exactly on the speedometer! Is something broken with me or are some people not so honest?

  • SLK R 172 Air conditioning

    Hello, I’m just looking for a chic 350er and notice with horror that almost all used ones “only” have the series climate. Despite former new prices of approx. 75k €, the Thermotronic was surprisingly dispensed with. Since I don’t really get smart from brochures and online operating instructions here my question to the happy R172 owners: The series climate is completely manual, right? Temperature and blower level have to be set manually are and are not automatically throttled or re-regulated after reaching the target temperature!? Thank you in advance and greeting, Marcus.
