I was presented with a bill for the evaluation which had been zeroed out. Apparently he knows what he is talking about because it continues to work flawlessly. ** reports the mechanic thought the issue would likely be that over time the mechanism picks up debris and just needs a good cleaning.
Upon further inspection I find it has been vacuumed and the top now works perfectly, faster and smoother than my old SLK which is saying something. My car is sitting in the queue obviously freshly washed. He tells me ** is looking for me and advises my car is done? ** is all smiles. Two hours later I'm standing in the parking lot contemplating my Ipads recommendations for nearby fast food establishments when an employee finds me. ** said “the mechanic has finished evaluating the computer read out and wants to get into it deeper”. I explained that home = 550 miles and I'd go ahead and wait on them. I was dismayed 1/2 hour into the appointment to be offered a ride home because, "this is going to take awhile". There isn't a Mercedes dealership anywhere in Wyoming and it seemed useful to have that information because my favorite mechanic runs a Volvo shop. I just wanted my car plugged into their diagnostics computer and to walk out of there with a printout. Mine was named ** and she is more customer advocate than I've ever encountered at a dealership. Mercedes Benz Omaha assigns the customer and associate who is tasked with getting your car through their process and resolving your issues. I have heard the stories about how expensive the top hydraulics can be to fix so I decided to keep the appointment at Mercedes Benz Omaha to get an emed like a good idea to know with more certainty what I would be facing in the future. Several solutions were posted there, the most useful of which is give the right front corner of the top a sharp smack with your fist.which actually works. In the meantime my son found a stream about the problem on the MB forum. They hooked me up with an appointment on my return trip to Wyoming to evaluate the problem. I bought the car As Is with no warranty of any kind but gave Mercedes Benz Omaha a call anyway. The trunk opens and moves forward to receive the top.but nothing other than the whirring of the hydraulics obviously trying to do something. In the morning I discovered that the convertible top would not fully retract. I drove it to Cedar Falls, IA that evening. I rented a car, drove to Omaha and the dealership was very accommodating, picking me up in Council Bluffs for a late evening car pickup. This particular car is a one previous owner 2001 SLK 230, barrillo red. I bought the car over the phone and never saw anything but pictures before I picked it up. The search took me two months and I finally found what I was looking for at Mercedes Benz Omaha.
What are you thinking when you order a 2 seater sports car with an automatic transmission? I find that mystifying.
#MERCEDES BENZ SLK 230 KOMPRESSOR MANUAL#
I've discovered that only about 10 percent of these have manual transmissions.
The R170 version of the SLK was only made from 1998 through 2004, averaging about 10,000 US versions each year. I live in the Rockies and the mountain folk aversion to rwd vehicles is near legendary so my search took me well out of my area. The experience put me in the market for a replacement.
