I've looked around, but haven't found many threads relating to the Slk320s. Plenty of the Kompressors however. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone have any suggestions on specifically what kind of preventative maintenance I'm looking at seeing how I'm close to the 100k mile mark - aside from the obvious. I changed my transmission fluid not too long ago and my 2 pre-cat o2 sensors. Brake fluid looks nice and clean still. I still haven't gone around to replacing the differential fluid or power steering (although i already set aside a liter of the Pentosin 11s).

I'm thinking about replacing my spark plugs, wires, radiator hoses & coolant, thermostat and water pump. Eventually I want to get into suspensions as well - bushings, endlinks, etc on top of like transmission or engine mounts. Maybe my alternator or alternator regulator just to be safe. Oh, and maybe a new valve cover gasket too for safe measure.

Is there anything else I'm missing that is pretty particular with these cars that may require addressing?

Any feedback or suggestions is appreciated!
