Hi everybody,
I have a 2001 SLK.
Recently the car was making a loud rattling noise on start-up which then quietened down. The guy who services the car discovered that a bracket had snapped which was attached to the exhaust system. He repaired this by MIG welding it back into place.
He did point out that the exhaust system came in 2 sections (front with cat, and rear section) and that the rear section was quite rusty and would probably go at some stage. Rang the MB dealer to find out how much these 2 sections were and was shocked at their total cost of £1200.
I'm okay for the moment, but not looking forward to having to change either of these sections. Just wondered how other SLK owners have fared with their exhaust systems?
Many thanks,
bern
