Having owed my SLK230 for less than 24hrs I've managed to break the light switch control unit! When the main lights are on you pull one stop for the front fog lamps and you're supposed to pull a second stop for the rear fog lamps. For some second it won't pull into the 2nd position and...

Hi everybody, I've got a silver 2001 (facelifted) SLK230. I've recently noticed there is rust forming on the edges of the rear wheel arches, but not the front ones. Fortunately, the rust has not reached the faces of the panels yet, but I'm sure if I leave it, it will in time. Spoke to a...

I'm pulling what little hair I've got out... trying to find an answer as to whether the supercharger that Mercedes added to the 230K engine is an Eaton M62? Have searched here and Google, and there are several people thinking or saying that it is, but nothing that says it with reassuring...

SLK230 - around 1999/2000 Was there a major update to the model about 1999/2000 Obviously the same body.......but did a few things change Cheers

...because I guess there isn't a 'correct' answer. I have bought a X reg that has Lucida wheels which are part painted and part polished metal. They also have a lot of corrosion and an amount of kerb damage. A well know refurb co. near MK has been honest enough to say that if I were to go...

Have got an SLK230 Kompressor, x reg / 2000 model. Been stood for 2 weeks and battery went flat, yesterday morning it started making an alarm noise, but not from the main alarm as the battery was dead, so think was a back up battery of some kind. Anyways, needless to say the alarms backup...

Is it possible, wothout going to a garage to a garage, to re-symchronise a key with the alarm system? If so how?

Hi everybody, I've got a 2001 slk230 which I bought 3 years ago and have really enjoyed driving. Yesterday my engine warning lamp came on. Got the car down to the usual mercedes specialist garage in London (not a stealership) who have looked after it all along. Having looked into the...

The speedometer keeps "not working" in my car. This acts randomly and usually resets itself when the ignition is turned off / on. Any ideas....

Hi , My parents have owned an SLK230 for over 4 years and last weekend the car spun out of control at 40mph on a straight road with no warning. The road conditions were dry and the car was accelerating at the time ( not heavy acceleration). My father is a very experienced driver and has never...

I really like the bumpers, sideskirts and door mirrors on the facelift SLK and would like to retrofit them to my 1999 model. Alternatively I'd consider AMG bits if anyone has them for sale. Preferably in silver but would consider painting them if necessary. I'm assuming (maybe incorrectly)...

When the chrome trim is in place a noise comes from it when: - turning the engine off; or on 'over run' IE after a blip of the throttle. Two MB dealers told me I needed a new 'cat'. It was where I get my daughters old Fiat serviced who found that by removing the trim the noise stops. I...

Hi, I need a pair of new boots for the front on my SLK230. It currently has Continental Sport/Conti at the moment, should I stick with these? the rear are Michelin's. Thanks in advance.
