r171

I know there is one of these for the latest SLK (R172) on the MB website, but do they have an archive section for the R171? Or has anybody a link please? Seems to be easy to find USA versions for SLK230 upwards, but not a UK version! Thanks

Anybody know the actual spec of this unit? I.E. Does it include Bluetooth a standard? If it make a difference the car has 819 - CD Changer What are my upgrade options? The VIN decoder says 386 - Mobile Pre-Installation (MTUS) What is this? Thanks

Hi, I've just bought a lovely SLK 200 but unfortunately there was no Handbook with the car, can anyone point me in the right direction to find a reasonable replacement please. I'm a newbie and I'm trying to get to grips with the forum. Thanks

Going to take a look at a 2005 R171 shortly - what are the main things to look for please? I have the VIN - if I recall the MB service history can be interrogated using it. Anybody have the relevant link please?

We bought an 06 SLK 200 with 117k miles on the clock in October 2015. Since April 16 we have had intermittent starting problems which neither our independant (MB trained) mechanic nor an MB main dealer have been able to trace. All the electrical services appear to work as they should when the...

Hi Had a 2010 SLK for a couple of years and love the Air Scarf System. A week ago it stopped working. So I press the button to start the Air Scarf - the button lights turn on, then a few seconds later the button lights turns off. I spoke to my Mercedes garage and they quote £140 per hour to...

Hey guys! I recently changed my C320CDI Sport for a low mile SLK55 AMG (R171), wanted one for years and I love it! I have trawled through the forums for a few days trying to find answers to my questions and I wanted to check a few things with owners. 1) Exhaust smoke When the car...

I have for sale a custom steering wheel from my CLS 2007. I have now sold the car. It is about 6 months old almost new condition. It is black leather with dark grey stitching (very subtle, enough to make it look classy). Perforated around the middle with thumb grips. It is much thicker than the...

Used my wife's 2009 SLK350 for a trip to Falmouth over the last few days and observed a strange fault with the air-con. It has the proper Climate Control rather than the basic on/off air-con BTW. Driving along on the A30 in the p*ssing rain minding our own business with the Climate Control in...

All, I am looking for an R171 (SLK) which is in need of a bit of TLC. So, late 2004 onwards .....possibly up to 09? If anyone has one or knows of anyone looking to sell, please pm. Thanks

Hi all Just noticed my 2008 slk is dripping on the edge window seals. So, if you are in the car, looking at window, the seal on the corners that look like flaps gather some water and drip when raining. I noticed it today, flick the flaps (so to speak) and only a bit of water there

As per title, I have a used (usual wear & tear) black leather steering wheel taken from a face-lift 54/2004 C-class coupe. It would make an ideal steering wheel upgrade to have re-covered while yours remains intact to facilitate driving. Alternatively, it could be used as an upgrade or to...

The 3rd brake light on my SLK (r171)has snapped off inside the boot - the red plastic has snapped off cleanly and the leds still work fine (I've just unplugged the unit), so it seems a waste to spend £200 plus on a new part. Does anyone have experience of fixing it back in place - would...

As above, I'm on the lookout for my sister. Black, white or silver, with leather and heated seats essential. Auto only. Miles under/around 60k and full history required. Any info/leads appreciated! :)

Hi All, Having had the quote from Mercedes for a new set of discs and pads I've been doing some research (£1000 for a pair of discs seems excessive), and have come across these Front Tarox Brake Discs - Mercedes SLK55 AMG (Performance Pack) (Rotors Only) - Bespoke - TAROX Online Store...
