I think you'll need to take it in to a Mercedes-Benz service dealership...

Water in the Gas by ddmtb

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.

RUN FLAT TIRES by jlettie2

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.

I have a 1999 MBZ SKL 230 that I am about to purchase. I was curious to know whether it is okay to put regular 87 gas in the car or if I need to use supreme 91 gas?

SLK Top Rubber Seal Maintenance by jehrenwald

I have a 2002 SLK 320, and the top and trunk are very noisy with the top up. I went to the dealership and was told that the only possible adjustment is to lubricate the rubber seals with a special oil...has anyone experienced this? Is there anything else I could do to fix the noise?
 
Thanks !!!

When my wife's SLK350 squeaks--about twice a year--I take it to the dealer and they lube it and it is quiet again. These are only minor squeaks not rattles. No charge from dealer.
If you do this yourself ONLY use lub that is made for rubber. No WD40 etc.

'94 500SL Roll Bar, Top, Windows won't work by gearheadgal
Jan 12, 2008 (11:35 am)

Went to lower the soft top, but it stopped in the middle of process. Now top is unlatched, windows won't roll back up, and roll bar is down. NOTHING works. Anybody have a suggestion to get this back in sequence? Is there a central relay/fuse that controls all of these? Any suggestions will be appreciated!

I have an SLK230, 1998, and it is warning me it is time for a check up (it has around 95,00 miles). I live in San Diego. Does anyone know how much I should budget for. The car runs great, no problems.
