A very good point. I have an Autophix 7910 reader that is very detailed for BMW but only OBD2 more generically. The SL isn't showing any codes but it may not be able to interrogate the system in enough detail. I think this and Bellow's input point me to taking it to Star rather than just to my...

That change was in 2016 and I don't know enough about ATF to know how much it degrades over time. I'm near Ascot, so west of London. I guess Star Services Reading is my nearest specialist unless you have a recommendation? Thanks.

I'll have them checked as I wasn't aware they could be an issue. Hasn't been on any of my other oldie "Sunday" cars so didn't spring to mind. Would it explain the "only when warm/hot" behaviour? Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks. I suspect it's degraded fluid too but worth checking in case there's something else going on. That it doesn't do it at all when it's cold might point to it losing viscosity when the ATF is hot. It has a full MB history with the Digital SR showing the transmission was serviced at 37000...

My second post in 9 months on here, so hello again. Also, probably confirms that the 50k miles, 2009 SL350 I bought has been “SuperLicht" on issues :-) Just a rotted-out fuel pipe and small C pillar leak both fixed very cheaply. However, there has to be a “However” or I wouldn't be writing this...

Good to know they will fabricate them from pattern. Thanks for confirming Pirtek as an option.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll contact them next week.

The rear fuel line/pipe on my 2009 R230 SL350 has rusted through and is leaving petrol on my driveway. The part is no longer available through Mercedes and is not available from Germany either. I've trawled through Google and can't find any aftermarket parts or even used from a breakers. I've...
