r170

My SLK started sounding the alarm without any reason, and kept going off almost as soon as I reset it. Then I took the car for a trip and after 15 min the horn sounded shortly a few times. I then parked and the blinker on one side stayed on. I disconnected the battery and the fault one side...

Hello and apologies if this has been done before, the search function is just not working for me. Because my little car has differently sized wheels or tyres front and back, is there an accepted way of dealing with a potential puncture, other than on a breakdown lorry? I realise there is 0%...

Well we've had the car a year now so I guess we're about due for a gremlin or two, in fact yes, in this case two. I don't know if they are related but they appear to have started at the same time. I have searched this forum and others and have found similar problems but not these particular...

As it was such a lovely day yesterday the SLK was taken out for its first real run of the year. As it's not used greatly (especially in the winter) I fairly regularly charge the battery which I last did about two/three weeks ago. "Senior Management" and I had a lovely drive in the country with...

Well, I have a funny little fault on my car, the brake light contact fails from time to time just for minutes, but enough to make the warning light light up an as it's the brake light the warning remains on, even tough the lights are actually all working after a moment or two. The chap who looks...

Despite days of searching can't find any R170 UK cars that have been styled, trawled through many albums on here, but few non standard cars. Is it not the done thing in the UK to pimp your 170? Is it the hairdresser image? Seems odd as its a great shape, perfect for styling, or is it because...

Hi, The top of the passenger door card has come away from the window, showing some orangy looking foam underneath, saw the same on another R170, is that a common fault? Can it be bent back towards the window? Thx Jet

Hi, Just got my first MB R170, can't find many online forums for advice, so hoping the owners here can help resolve some issues. Cheers Jet

I am considering fitting 18 or 19" to the R170, but wondered what the ride is like with 19s? I would like to retain a relatively comfortable ride. Anyone fit 19s! How much harsher are they? Thanks Jet

The fuel flap does not lock with the central locking, I can hear it click, I can see it move, I can physically push that red bar in the back and the pin pops out, then it pops back in with the remote, but won't stick out, tried wd40, any advice appreciated. Thanks Jet

Hi, Sorry if this has been covered but finally managed to get the key in the lock of my r170 after days of fiddling with the key and WD40, but it won't turn, so a bit more messing about I presume? does it lock via remote and central locking or manually using the key? Thanks Jet

Breaking 1998 Mercedes Benz R170 SLK 230. This is a UK RHD car in very good condition with 74028 miles on it, automatic gearbox, air conditioning, no rust or damage and came to me partially stripped. Drove fine before the previous owner got bored with it and stripped it so there are a few...

Some help please. My dad owns a 2001 or 2002 SLK 180K. He has just taken it into a Mercedes dealer for a basic service. The Airbag warning light was apparently also on. I didn't realise this otherwise I would have looked into it sooner. Apparently they have diagnosed it requiring a new...

Hello to community. I have a problem with my interior light on my SLK.Remain open all the time..never closed, unless i put it off at position 0. Best Regards.

I'm having bumper painted and wondering if the facelift bumpers and side skirts are a direct fit. Think they look much better

As per title,about year ago both rear arches on the wife's 2003 slk we're showing signs of rust(inner lips bubbling/rusty areas)so I rubbed them down after removing all the mud/drying them out then applied a rust remedy that was recommended on here(can't remember the name)before painting them...

I have been putting up with the flashers/indicators occassionally stopping working. The hazards still worked. I have known for some time the problem was assocaited with the Illumination module in other words the headlight switch control unit as if I tapped it they would often start working...

Hi Guys \ Gals I've got a Mercedes SLK 200 R170 and id like to fit an induction kit to it. I've taken off the original box and plastics down to the throttle body but can't see a way off getting a pipe onto the throttle body or the other side as they are flat surfaces. Can anybody who has...
