Search the forums for "clutch judder". Is this what you are experiencing?

I am sure it would greatly assist everyone reading this if you could provide a few more details such as model, age, mileage, how long you have had it, did this problem appear suddenly or has it been getting worse over a period of time. Oil consumption issue: what sort of mileage are you...

The item you have circled is the engine oil separator. No idea why it should be noisy, mine isn't, there don't appear to be any valves or other moving parts. Possibly one of the pipes has a slight blockage, I would start by cleaning everything out. You can read more about it here Pelican...

So, do we think this was wrapped or painted? http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/mercedes-news/178517-w213-e-class-spy-shots.html

Sorry, just noticed you already answered 2 out of my 3 questions.

Place 2 strips of masking tape on the bootlid above and below the badges before you remove the badges. Use them as a guide when you refit. The tape will also help prevent damage to the bootlid when you prise the badges off.

Have you checked the transmission fluid level ? When was it last changed and was the filter changed at the same time ? How many miles has the car done?

None. Don't use the phone when I am driving, it is far too distracting.

Apologies, driving home tonight I noticed that the knob on the switch does light up when the ignition is on. Definitely no illumination on the surrounding symbols.

They don't on my 03 SLK, nothing in the manual suggests that they should.

I would like to do this mod, has anyone had any success?

Mine doesn't light up except for the green and red fog lamp indicators bottom right. All the white markings around the switch are just screen painted on, you can feel them raised when you run your finger over them compared with the switches in the centre console. You can't see the switch when...

Just a quick update. Took the car to DDR in Ashtead today for a B-service and to investigate the noise. Turns out it was nothing more than excessive road noise from the cheapo tyres fitted by a previous owner. Very knowledgeable and helpful guys, will definitely be using them again.

Thanks for all the info. I will see how it goes for a couple of days then probably get a local specialist to look at.

Hi Giantvanman, Thanks for your suggestions. I am in mid-Surrey, near M25 J9 Leatherhead. I did run it up on the ramps and have a quick look underneath for any obvious oil leaks or CV boot damage. The rain set in before I had a chance to jack it up and waggle the wheels.

Hi all, I have a transmission related whine. I was wondering if anyone else had any similar experiences or suggestions or knew of any common failure points. SLK 230K (R170) Auto, 03-plate, 85,000 miles on the clock. The pitch is definitely related to road speed, starting from below 5mph...

Hi all. I am a new member of the forums having just purchased my first Mercedes. SLK 230K, 03-plate, 85k on the clock. Hoping to pick up a few tips to keep the old gal on the road. Thanks
