SLK ---all season tires by greasykid1
Aug 09, 2005 (3:47 pm)
There are not a lot of tires that qualify for the SLK. Am going to put on Pirelli P Zero Nero's. Just put these on my E320 about 2,000 mi. ago. Have no winter experience yet but they come well recommended by Tirerack. Go on their website for details. They are a much better ride on my E320. Even my wife noticed it and tires are very low on her list of priorities.Forgot to mention that my E320 had Michelin XGT4 's.

SLK350 Check Engine Light by artchi
Aug 10, 2005 (6:34 am)
I got my SLK350 6 days ago and have 503 miles now. Yesterday while driving home on the freeway, the outside temperature reads 144 degrees fahrenheit. It doesn't seem to be that hot because that will be a major news on the radio. Anyways I think it is about 90 instead. Few miles to home, my Check Engine Light came on. I parked the car overnight and this morning started the engine and the light is still on. It is now in the hands of the mechanics at the dealer.

2006 SLK numbers by spokes
Aug 20, 2005 (7:48 pm)
Does anyone have information on the total number of SLKs that will be shipped to the U.S.? I've been told by the local dealer that only 350 will be shipped; the rest of the production staying over seas. This seems suspect. Any numbers out there?
Thanks.

Only 350 SLKs to be shipped to the U.S.? That is beyond incorrect. MBUSA's goal for the SLK in this country is 10K units. 350 is a bogus number because they'll ship more than that in SLK55 AMGs too, so I know that number can't possibly be right for the high volume (relative to the AMG model) 280 and 350 models.
 
At that number each dealer would only get one SLK to sell. The dealer here has 4 SLK280s and 2 SLK55s.

hood louvers by cagney

What do the hood louvers on the SLK55 do? One opens to a rubber-sealed box and the other is closed off by a plate w. a 1" hole at the rear.
I've only put 1300mi. on the car so far, but it seems simply AMAZING!!

SLK55 tire pressures by cagney
Aug 21, 2005 (1:40 pm)
Got one more Question. The SLK55 lists two different sets of tire pressures, one inside the gas flap, one on the door frame. Which one do I use? I'm following the door info: 33# front, 39# rear.

I believe even MB has stated that they plan to sell 1,000 - 1,500 55's in the US, so obviously, the no. of straight 350's would be much higher. I'd wonder about that dealer!
