SLK230 1998 auto, 2006 W169 A200 Sport
Gooday. (BAzzle from OZ)
My Oz delivered SLK230 auto 1998 only has the 28 pin round socket under the hood for the diagnostic connection.
I have searched the Net for a Code reader and have only come up with one mentioned on the site linked here http://pages.prodigy.net/jforgione/MB_S500.html
His 3rd menu item http://pages.prodigy.net/jforgione/mb_scnrs.html
seems to be the one to do the job, BUT costs $550 US dollars About $800 Aussie dollars.. wheww..

Doe any one know of an alternative that can be purchased that reads codes from this socket? for a fair price .. maybe similar to the US OBD2 scanners costing $40 US.

Cheers BAzzle

The diagnostic port on your Mercedes can give you about 10,000 readout or fault codes. I think you need pretty elaborate kit to read them. Sorry
