#163 of 226 bang in 2005 SLK 350 AMG suspension by bgrsbtr Nov 05, 2005 (8:10 pm)
Has anyone else experenced a loud bang noise from the right front suspension? It happens at different times and no one thing seems to set it off. All of a sudden there is just a loud bang like something major breaks  Thanks Glenn Replies to this message: connieg (Aug 15, 2006 3:00 pm) slk2006 (Oct 25, 2006 9:37 am) rsorrell (Oct 25, 2006 10:14 am) and 2 more...

Do what you mentioned but I also used a large sheet of plastic drop cloth covering the cement under the car to stop moisture coming up through the floor, Replies to this message: bkman (Nov 08, 2005 8:20 am)

#166 of 226 Changing wheels by greasykid1 Nov 27, 2005 (10:27 am)
Am interested in 5 spoke wheels to replace the 10 spoke factory wheels. Has anybody found a good replacement wheel ? Have shopped Tirerack but I don't want to pay $500 per wheel. Also because of the oversize brake calipers many wheels won't fit on the front. In addition to all this need 7.5/17 on the front & 8.5/17 on the rear.If I do find what I'm looking for then I want to sell the OEM wheels.
#167 of 226 Fuel System Warning Light by gwd717 Dec 12, 2005 (8:01 am)
Own a 2001 SLK230. The other day my fuel indicator light started to blink and then the next time I started the car the Check Engine light was illuminated (which, according to the manual, suggests a possible Fuel System issue). First thing I'd like to do, though, is reset the computer to check that the Check Engine light still illuminates, can one of you tell me how to reset it?   Second question is then any thoughts on what may have caused this problem, before I end up taking it to the dealer and shelling out money for a diagnostic.   Thanks much.

Do not know how to ck the light itself although I believe that if the light is good that it should glow when you first turn the key on. If your gas cap is on tight and there are no other problems the computer in most cars will reset itself after a given number of starts. Usually in the 25plus range.

Replying to: habitat1 (May 18, 2005 1:48 pm) I canceled my order for an SLK 350 after the car arrived with paint damage (from transport, or from the factory - was never determined). I had ordered the 6-speed, because I didn't enjoy my test drive in the 7-spd auto and was worried about its complexity. In fact, the specific car I drove was sent back to the factory because it didn't shift properly. After reading the posts here, I think anyone would do better with the manual.   BUT - when Mercedes tried to locate another car for me, they had no 6-speeds in the country in the color I wanted (blue). Basically, there is no significant market demand for a manual transmission in an SLK, apart from those of us on this forum. The 6-speed was a very nice gearbox, but after I declined to buy the one they had it took them months to sell it. Keep that in mind when questioning why the SLK55 has to be an automatic.   Moral of the story: I took my check back and ended up buying a '96 Porsche 911 convertible, with 10K miles on it, for $49K. More horsepower, no electrical gremlins, to computer-controlled tranny glitches, etc.   Sorry to hear about the negative experiences here, but my 98 SLK320 wasn't well made, and all they've done is to make these cars stupidly complicated. It's a shame, because the new SLK really looks and drives great. I just can't buy one knowing what I know.
#170 of 226 350 SLK---2005 w/ auto 7 speed by greasykid1 Dec 26, 2005 (11:00 am)
Have this car for almost a year now and NO driveline problems. Only a couple very minor ones. Adjustments etc. Big surprise is gas milage. Over 20 in town and 27-28 on the highway.   Everything else has been flawless. Just thought that I would post some good news!

#172 of 226 SLK 55 AMG initial quality evaluation by reallife Jan 01, 2006 (10:39 pm)
I've had my car for three months and it now has 1700 miles on it. I got the JD Powers initial quality assessment form a couple weeks ago and had to carefully consider all the systems on the car for the first time. I had to give it a perfect 100%. I have not had one single problem to date. The fit and finish is flawless. All the electronics work flawlessly. The car drives and handles like no other car I've ever owned. I can hardly bear to look at it sitting forelornly in my garage where it is now waiting for some nice weather. Best car I've ever owned.
