SL55/63/65/R230 AMG Anyone Recognize this part??

MK19 — Wed, 20 May 2026 17:47:47 GMT

I found on the garage floor this morning, this under the engine/trans area of my '03 SL55. Looks to be a 13-14 mm hose coupling. I don't recognize it. The car runs fine, no lights/messages etc.
Theres a p/n on it: 0133589>PA66F30<
Anybody recognize it or have a suggestion where to search in the car?
Thanks,
MK19

SL55/63/65/R230 AMG Does this engine / supercharger / belt sound ok? Looking to purchase

Nails — Wed, 13 May 2026 14:36:41 GMT

Hi all, I was hoping to leverage the collective knowledge of this forum to help me decide if this engine / supercharger / belt sounds ok.

The car is about 7 hours away from me in a small town, it would be a little difficult to organize a PPI from a reliable Mercedes mechanic. I would still get one of course but would like people's opinions.

Car is a 2005 sl55 amg with low milage (23,000 miles / 38,000 km) that seemed to be weekend driven until 2019 by one owner in B.C. Canada (carfax does not give the service records). Then was sold to another owner. It seems to be in very good condition.

Are there any red flags I should just stay away from before trying to schedule a long trip to go see it?

I have read the usual suggestions for the sl55 once over (examples: push on all for 4 corners for the engine mounts, check every button, run the ABC up and down the 3 positions a few times, run the roof up and down a few times, look for leaks in the trunk etc). But was looking mainly for the sound of this engine and any other suggestions you may have.

Thank you again in advance,

SL55/63/65/R230 AMG Rear shock replacement

asabo423 — Mon, 11 May 2026 01:11:14 GMT

Has anyone ever replaced the rear shack with a factory shock? I have the adjustable suspension on my sl63 AMG and I need the torque specs for the swingarms and I also need the procedure for the rodeo and how to bleed the air out of the hydraulic line leading up to the shock. I also would like a service manual in who I should get it from for a decent price. I am skeptical of the places that are selling the "

service manuals" with four bucks or $7. So any information would be helpful. Thank you

SL55/63/65/R230 AMG SL55 Baffles

Gouldy — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:36:24 GMT

Good afternoon all. I have a SL55 AMG 2003 and I think the fuel tank baffles are loose. I'm based in Essex and am asking if the forum members know of people who can repair this (reasonably close to me) without the need for a new fuel tank? Thanks
