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.
#204 of 226 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.

Replying to: alan5573 (Jun 02, 2006 5:02 pm) 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.

Replying to: alan5573 (Jun 02, 2006 5:02 pm) I had the same problem on my '01 slk 230. In my case it was low on hydraulic fluid, and the latches and hinges needed to be lubed. Try that and see how it goes.
#210 of 226 BAS/ESP Light Keeps Coming On-'01 slk230 by amixam Jul 29, 2006 (8:28 am)
For the 3rd time now, my BAS/ESP light, which has to do with the traction control, has come on. I've got an '01 SLK230Kompressor with 57K miles, only had it 1 month, certified pre-owned.   The first time I took it in they told me it was the Brake Booster vaccum pump that had failed, so they replaced it. The second time it came on, they found it was the Yaw Rate Sensor which had failed, which feeds info to the brakes if you are skidding or swerving.   I'm pretty much ready to tell them to put me in something else; I've only had the car 5 weeks, and 3 of those it's been in the shop. I'd take caveat emptor if it weren't certified, but don't they check this stuff out? Any ideas/suggestions? Am I overreacting or is this car a 'wrap'?>
