Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Mercedes Forum, and a first time owner of a 2009 SL350 that I've bought 2 weeks ago. I had it initially checked with the garage on the day I bought it (off a private seller and check with his garage) and all seemed well. I've now had a chance to really dig into using the car and a couple of nasty surprises have popped up:
1) The breather unit on the left hand side of the engine is dripping oil onto the exhaust
2) Cigarette Lighter is faulty (fuse F11 works just fine)
3) The driver side window unit the previous owner broke the button for the passenger window
These problems though I feel like there are easy solutions to (i.e get them all replaced)
I've never driven another SL350 aside from this one however, and I've noticed the car pulls to the left, especially when slowing down to a halt.
I have a few questions maybe the erudites on this forum could help?
I'm going to get it serviced (B) this week, and make sure all is spick and span for a very long (3000 mile) road trip in Europe, should there be anything (apart from the service)vI would have to consider before I do though?
Many thanks!
