I have just brought a new SLK230, and I have had some teething problems. I have taken the car back and they say all is normal. I need some advice on whether they are telling the truth or just bad service advice. My problems are;
1) When starting from cold the engine rattles. This rattle sounds like the timing chain tensioner. Mercedes response all SLK230 rattle like this on cold start- True or False?
2) Tick over hunts when hot with no engine loads ie AC. Mercedes response Normal - True or False?
3) When parking on half lock, the steering wheel goes light as if there is no hydraulic fluid. This goes away once the engine has been started and the wheel has been turned to normal lock. Mercedes response This can not happen - True or False?
Thanks for any help in advance.
