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.

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

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.

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.

Clearing maintenance codes on SLK 320. by tserio1
Jun 18, 2006 (4:36 pm)
I own a 2001 Mercedes SLK 320. I have done my own maintenance and have the maintenance code "wrenches" showing on my odometer read out when I start the car. I need to know the sequence to clear out that code.

It could be electrical. Don't know how many miles you have on it, but my 2004 320 only has 22,000 miles and I had the same problem. It also had a faulty starter that made the problem worse. Mine is under warranty, so I don't know about costs. However, you should have it looked at right away before it affects anything else, if it is electrical.
