Hello all, i have a Vario 614d, with a propshaft joint MOT failure. Does anyone know anyone breaking one or have a propshaft. I've ordered a joint kit from Germany, but am a little worried about whether it will be correct. I'm sure I'm just worrying, but i need a back up plan, as i need to...

Hi all, I have an SLK 2009 (171) UK spec 1.8 Kompressor that has recently been giving me a "Close Boot Separator" error when trying to operate the vario roof. I have checked that the separator does close and latch correctly, which it does. The ONLY thing i've noticed is that the separator is...

Hello Everyone, As I am new to the Forum and this is my first post and forgive me if it is not posted correctly. I am the proud owner of an R230 (2003, 5 litre) and the Vario Roof has developed a problem, when I operate the roof, the boot opens about 100mm (4" to the unconverted) and then...

Hi all, I have a worsening fuel delivery problem when starting (OM904L engine). It seemingly began when I was parked on any sort of incline, altho that could be a red herring. The fuel gauge would suddenly show reserve even if there was fuel in the tank and it would take probably 10 to 20...

Hi, I've just bought our family camper conversion project bus! It's a 2004 Vario 614D 4250cc/140ps minibus. It's an ex-disabled passenger vehicle and as such was fitted with a town-ratio rear axle, or low ratio diff. It's no good for long journeys/touring and motorways are almost painful! She...

2001 Vario 814D drive train vibration problems. The vehicle referred to is a 2001 low mileage, circa 100,000 miles extra LWB Vario 814D in the throws of being converted into a motorhome. I am being quite fastidious with the conversion and naturally with its mechanical condition too. It is/was...

Have been looking around the forum for a couple of weeks now on and off. Thought I'd better get my coat off and say hello! All the advice is great. I can see being an old SLK owner is a labour of love. First problem solved was intermittent ESP/ BAS light. Turned out to be dying pre CAT. O2...

Hello everybody, We have just purchased a 2002 Vario 814D Ex-Library van fitted with air suspension on the rear axle. 200 miles into ownership it has developed and interesting fault.:confused: When stationary, with the engine running, the rear of the vehicle is raising and lowering...

Hello all, Just had my 170 1999 230SLK in at a recommended independent Mercedes specialist to resolve an issue. Basically when you press the switch, the light flashes but nothing happens at all - no whirring no movement of anything no nothing. The garage found some stored faults and...
