Decided to do a walkthrough of the current condition of my 1998 Mercedes Benz SLK230 and my plans and it turns out, there's another issue that has popped up with it. I just can't win with this car...

    That's a sweet looking SLK!!! 30,000 miles?! lucky you!!! I own a 2003 SLK 230 pretty much stock. I just put AMG 18" wheels. Looks good but i like the stance of your SLK. Would you mind sharing what you did. Did you do springs only or springs and shocks? I tried to search your videos for comments but I didn't see any. Would appreciate it very much if you can share that info. Thanks!! Just subscribed! Great video!

    The brake light problem is probably not relay related. It is the infamous brake light connector gets too hot and burn out the connector contact. Its an easy fix, search how others have fix for brake light. In the US, MB has a recall to have the light cluster replaced. Check with MB service which maybe difference now as they all becomes independent service centre due to MB now just a manufacturer and distributor. I think it is a bad move for MB and customers confident will be affected.

    I'm considering buying this gen slk. likely something with 200,000kms or 120,000 miles. anything I should be aware of? is it really high maintenance with that kind of mileage?

  • @M2Motoring

    @M2Motoring

    2 жыл бұрын

    There’s a sizable list of maintenance that could or should be done if it wasn’t when it comes to vehicles at that mileage in general. Without maintenance history and details, it’s sort of hard to say. Every car is different and how the previous owner took care of it will vary on what you will and won’t need to do. Overall the 2.3L s/c engine is pretty solid as long as it’s been well maintained.

    I’m a 20 year old that just got me a 98 slk 230 with 130k miles on it in Maui. Transmission is slipping after 20 mph was wondering if that was limp mode? Got any ideas honestly don’t have enough to get it serviced. So let me know. Maybe a diagnostic tester? Not sure where I need to start. Mahalo.

    Aloha, is your car black by any chance? There was a black one I had my eye on in Upcountry and I'm wondering if it's the same one. Also, you can take it to AutoZone in Kahului. They should be able to pull codes for you there.
