MY09 SLK200K
SLK200 Kompressor Adelaide Australia

Hi All,
I'm about to finalise and collect an MY09 SLK200K, our first Mercedes.

Looking forward to enjoying more time with my wife now that kids are driving...

I've a hoist at home, don't mind a bit of DIY, so will be checking the forums for solutions and guides which already appear to be abundant.

Other weekend toy is a 580hp angry replica AC Cobra, so the SLK will be the civilised everyday transport...
Cheers
B

C230 Sport
Hey, new to forum. 06 MB C230 Sport, just had balance shaft repair done @ 150,000 miles. MB picked up 65%. I can't complain. Regards to Jeff at MB of Danbury, Ct. Made it happen. Car should now be good for another 100k! I hope! This car leaves something to be desired in the performance catagory, contemplating a software upgrade if anything which is cost effective is available. Open to suggestions.

2010 Mercedes E350
I just went through changing out rims. We have a 2010 E 350 and changed the alloys out to chrome. I had considered changing the size when I changed the rims to get away from the staggered wheel configuration. Everyone I talked to, including Mercedes Benz mechanics, advised against it. Changing the size will throw off your speedometer, the way the tires fit inside the wheel wells and the overall stance of the car. In the end, I decided to keep the same size and not try to outsmart the Mercedes engineers. I'll have to buy tires a little more often, but I think staying with the same configuration was the correct decision. Good luck with your decision!

CLS550
Hi, my name is Jos. Not new to forums, been a member of ClubLexus for a few years, own a 1993 SC300. Picked up this '07 CLS550 about 8 months ago. This winter it will be getting a transformation. Not many will like it, but it will be unique for the vehicle. I love some of the inspiration on this site, it's fantastic. Thanks for having a great forum!

240C
I have a c240 gasoline 2002 with 150000 km, the problem with this car is it does not accelerate right properly and it usually takes 4 to 5 seconds to accelerate. This problem usually occurs on hot days but on cold days it's normally not as bad. I have a mechanic friend who thinks the problem could be a pedal or acceleration sensor. If any one has the same experience or solutions to the problem I'd appreciate a response.

2014 C63 AMG Edition 507
Hi all,

Just a quick hello from a new 2014 C63 Edition 507 owner. I've come from a couple of RS5s (both pre and post facelift models) a string of BMWs (E46 and E92 M3s amongst others) and a short love affair with a 997 C4S.

I've just finished the break-in period on the 63, so the real fun can finally begin! Along with the bills for rear rubber, I'm sure...!

Anyway, here's a couple of pics from when it arrived at the dealership (sorry about the first one, I can't seem to get it to appear in portrait for some reason) and another couple after a full G|Techniq new car detail with Crystal Serum and Evo2 sealant.

Welcome! One thing I'll say on that, the Mercedes (non-dealer) shop I go to told me to avoid 4Matic, and until January I think all of the new C class cars they're sending us are 4Matic. The new C class really is impressive, if they'd also updated the coupe to the new platform I would have seriously considered it, instead of my used E.
