#194 of 226 SLK or XLR by katcar May 09, 2006 (4:51 am)
In 2007 I will buy a hardtop convertible. After initial research the top 2 contenders are the SLK and the Cadalliac XLR. I know the perils of a GM product but have yet to own a MB.   It was an eye opener to see that there are issues with MBs just like any other car. I enjoyed reading the discussions to date.   On the XLR forum there is discussion around the SLK & XLR. This was somewhat helpful. Has anyone compared the SLK and the XLR? I would like input from the MB perspective.   Thanks!
#195 of 226 engine problem, over burn in engine oil by metalicslk350 May 17, 2006 (11:27 pm)
i brought my slk350 a little over a year ago, and this is the third with the same problem. The light on the dash board shows "check oil when next fueling", when i brought it to service my car for the first and second time, they just add more oil to the engine. When the third time they told me that the engine is burning alot of oil in a fast period of time and over burn the engine. They told me that most likely they have to change another engine and replace the other one. I was wondering if anyone with the same car have this problem. My car is still at service with some unknown answer. Replies to this message: camerachick (Jun 13, 2006 11:47 am)
#196 of 226 SLK 280 Time Piece? or Time bomb? by fm_retired May 24, 2006 (7:54 pm)
I purchased an SLK 280 and after only 800 babied miles it sounds like a ticking time bomb when you stop at a light. anyone else with this experience? Was told by dealer at 400 miles this was normal... my wrist watch is quieter and my girlfriend has a c280 with same motor that doesnt sound like a clock. Comments, concerns or questions appreciated. Thanks in advance!
#200 of 226 Convertible Hardtop Malfunction by alan5573 Jun 02, 2006 (5:02 pm)
Hardtop has been down for one week. It will not go up. No sound or movement takes place when trying to raise the top. A whirring sound from the hardtop motor can be heard if button is pushed in the retract direction. This is a 2001 SLK 320 and is out of warranty. I have owned it for two months. Seeking advice regarding cause of problem, solutions and cost based on your experience. Replies to this message: pamg (Jun 26, 2006 8:53 am) amixam (Jul 29, 2006 8:19 am)

My question is, Is the SLK dingy towable? If so what needs to be done to the vehicle? Thank you in advance for any information
#202 of 226 Dingy Tow by greasykid1 Jun 10, 2006 (8:28 am)
Not likely. If manual does not include info you can most likely forget it. Also front ground clearence is low so there is a strong chance of damage.   Had a bus for several years and towed a grand cherokee w/4 wheel drive. Ideal vehicle.   Other option is a tow dolly which has its own problems.

Replying to: metalicslk350 (May 17, 2006 11:27 pm) Hi metalicslk350,   I bought my slk350 in Feb. 2005, and had the same problem. After 4000 miles they replaced the engine. Then I had terrible transmission problems until they realized the software had been updated for the new engine, and reinstalled the software. I think this has been a common problem. Hope this helps.
