  1. R170-SLK General Discussion
    Have a really nice 03 SLK320 with 80K miles that's become my wife's daily driver now that the kids are in school and she's not hauling them with her everywhere. The ignition key is becoming increasingly difficult to turn, and recently it takes a minute or two of wiggling the steering wheel...
  2. R170-SLK General Discussion
    My car still has a set of OEM wiper blades, steel frame blades with the white Mercedes Logo on them, and I'd like to keep them. However, the rubber inserts are a little past prime. Has anyone found refills that work well with them? I've never used wiper refills before, and it looks like there...
  3. R170-SLK General Discussion
    My DD went down over the weekend, so while I await parts to get it back on the road I decided to drive the SLK to work this morning. It's unusually cold here right now, 15F (-9C) when I went out to the car this morning, and it had been sitting unused for about 2-weeks prior to this morning. Car...
  4. R170-SLK General Discussion
    My recently acquired SLK320 has zero freon pressure in the system, so it's obviously leaked out somewhere. I spent about 15 minutes looking in the areas I could see for signs of a leak using my UV light and glasses, and everything looks clean. Is there a common weak spot or failure point on...
  5. R170-SLK General Discussion
    Hi Everyone, I am back in another SLK, my 3rd one. I started with a 2001 SLK320 that I owned 2011-2019, it was my baby and I kept it as an absolutely perfect garage queen. As a result, I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I probably should have, any when we started having kids I sold it for a...
  6. R170-SLK General Discussion
    Well, the weather is very slowly coming around, so I've been tinkering with my project SLK230 I acquired back in the fall. Fresh tires and fluids, and she seems to be doing quite well mechanically (cosmetics are still a work in progress). However, the most annoying issue I am having is with the...
  7. R170-SLK General Discussion
    So, I've been a member here since back in 2011 when I had bought mt extremely mint 2001 SLK320 in Firemist red that I owned and loved for 9 years (2010-2019). It was a total garage queen, never saw rain or snow, though I did drive it when the weather allowed and it had around 150K kms on it when...
  8. R170-SLK General Discussion
    Haven’t been on the forum much recently, life and a growing family have a way of doing that; but my 2001 SLK320 has been enjoying a pampered life as a weekend cruiser in the summers, and has been trouble free for years now. However, I just took it out of storage for the season today and I am...
  9. Tires, Wheels, Brakes & Suspension
    Alright, I have a brand new set of 255/40/R17 Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R's left over from another project that I am thinking about installing on my SLK since I sorta need new tires on it anyway. The SLK320 is bone stock and sees only fair weather weekend usage. First question; will a square...
  10. R170-SLK General Discussion
    I've been trying to track down a bit of a clunk from the right rear wheel area of my SLK320 (about 140,000kms) for awhile now. I haven't been driving the car much recently, so I tend to forget about these little nagging things. The symptom is when I drive over a sharp bump (like a manhole...
  11. R170-SLK General Discussion
    I am hoping someone can help me dig up a part # for a rubber plug. If I am standing infront of my car with the hood open, looking to the right side of the engine on the innerfender there's the big resistor looking thing (blower motor resistor?). Anyway, behind that resistor is a black plug that...
  12. R170-SLK General Discussion
    Does anyone know where the A/C drain should be? We've been in a nice heat wave for about a week now so I've been running the A/C quite a bit. In my other cars, when I park after driving for along time, I can usually see water (condensation) dripping out underneath the car. But in the SLK, no...
  13. General SLK/SLC Discussions
    We have a thread like this on S10forum and it's been fun. Post a picture of your car as it is right now, taken within the last 24hrs. I'll start, here's mine about 10 minutes ago. It had been sitting in the garage since Christmas day, so I pulled it out for a quick romp and swept out the...
  14. R170-SLK General Discussion
    So, never had trouble with my PSE until tonight, got pulled out of bed as the car alarm was going off in the garage. Checked the PSE and found some water on the floor in the trunk, and the foam "box" for the PSE was a little damp. I had gotten the car rust proofed a week or so ago, and when...
  15. R170-SLK General Discussion
    I had my car aligned at the dealer a week ago on my stock (summer) rims. Car drove perfectly following the initial alignment. Few days later I installed my winter rims and tires on that car. Now my alignment is pretty clearly out of whack again. My winter setup was brand new last year and has...

    Would these rims fit my car? Ad claims they're from a 2010 SLK, but I've never seen them before: http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-auto-parts-tires-tires-rims-Mercedes-Benz-AMG-Rims-and-tires-18-in-W0QQAdIdZ430310396
  17. R170-SLK General Modifications you've DONE
    One of my corner bumper lens has a crack in it, so I figure it's a good time to get rid of the stock orange lens, but I can't decide whether clear or tinted would look best on my car? What do you think: With winter rims:
  18. R170-Where to get NOS SLK Items
    Hi, I am looking for the smoked corner markers for my R170. They used to be available everywhere, but now that I want them I can't find them....Even the clear ones seem to be getting scarce.
  19. Ask DansSLK-Closed & Archived
    My ecu fan is getting pretty noisy, especially on sub-zero mornings. I read about simply disconnecting it, but not sure I trust that given that I spend hours sitting in traffic where heat can build up. That said, I am worried about getting stuck....I've read a few threads on it, but I still...
  20. R170-SLK General Discussion
    I need to top up the brake fluid in my car, it's near the 'min' mark. I've spent the last 15 minutes searching but can't seem to find a definitive answer regarding exactly what kind of brake fluid I can use. Do I have any option other than going to the dealer?
