#2 of 26 Do I need service after 1400 miles (but 21 months)? by 1slkguy Oct 11, 2006 (12:18 pm)
I bought a 2001 SLK-320 in Jan of 2005 that was just like new & had only 9,600 miles on it. 21 months later, I've only put 1,400 miles on it (I'm at about 11K now). Service B was done on it by the dealer when I bought it & it has synthetic oil in it. Do I need to service it yet (service level A / oil & filter chg, etc.)? I'm getting differences of opinions & wondering if the dealer just wants the $$ but it really doesn't need servicing yet. Replies to this message: katesings1 (Oct 25, 2006 7:58 pm)

Replying to: 1slkguy (Oct 11, 2006 12:18 pm) What is a Service B? I don't see anything about servicing the 1999 Kompressor I just recently got. The dealership wants $625 for a Service B with a brake and transmission flush. I'm wondering what it includes and if maybe I should get my mechanic to do it instead of the dealership...I hate to sound like such a "girl", but I really am in the dark here. Thanks, Kate...
#4 of 26 Mercedes SLK Retractable Hardtop issue by moxie75 Apr 03, 2007 (1:49 am)
I'm experiencing trouble with my retractable hartop. It goes all the way up and goes all the way down but stops before rolling all the windows up and I'm also getting the red light blinking on the button that retracts it. Can anyone help with this issue?   thanks, Lisa Replies to this message: 1slkguy (Apr 09, 2007 8:30 am)

Replying to: moxie75 (Apr 03, 2007 1:49 am) I think you'll need to take it in to a Mercedes-Benz service dealership...

#8 of 26 Water in the Gas by ddmtb Apr 23, 2007 (4:31 pm)
My Wife's 99 SLK stalled the other day. It restarted ok, she then took it to the dealer to check diagnostics.   They said the gas had water in it and charged $1000 to drain tank, fuel lines, etc.   Is the only option for this happening buying bad gas. Or does water build up over time and get in the fuel line. Can't see how that would happen if fuel is pumped from the bottom of the tank, but is that the case?   Anybody have this happen to them? thanks.
#9 of 26 RUN FLAT TIRES by jlettie2 May 12, 2007 (7:17 am)
Has anyone had problems with the RUN Flats on either the SLK 280 or 350. I have read other manufactures BMW and LEXUS will not stand-by these tires. Customers are replacing these tires as many as 3 times a year. These tires are extremely noisy and can damage the front end. I have read on the web site that there is a class action suit against BMW due to these tires. Has any MERCEDES owner having similar problems with MB? I wish manufactures would wise up and remove these run flats, they could be a safety issue.
