SL55 AMG
NEW SL55AMG IN FORUM

Buenos días desde España.
Un nuevo miembro, propietario desde hace unos meses de un SL55 AMG '03.
Llevaba años con ganas de comprar este coche, pero desconocia la cantidad de problemas que tiene poseerlo, pero es impresionante poder conducirlo. Me preocupa mucho la cantidad de repuestos que cada vez son más difíciles de conseguir, nunca fue así con la marca Mercedes. Espero que sea transitorio.
De momento, estoy haciendo copia de material de todo lo que veo importante tener como respaldo para mantenerse en marcha muchos años.
Espero aprender mucho de vosotros, igualmente aportar, pues dispongo de taller y todo lo intento hacer yo.
Felices fiestas a todos en estas fechas tan marcadas.

En este momento estoy recopilando material de todo lo que veo importante tener como respaldo para que siga funcionando durante muchos años.
Espero aprender mucho de ustedes, y también aportar, ya que tengo un Taller y trato de hacerlo todo yo misma.
Felices fiestas a todos en estas fechas tan señaladas

Good morning from Spain.
A new member, owner of a SL55 AMG '03 for a few months.
I had been wanting to buy this car for years, but I didn't know how many problems owning it had, but it is impressive to be able to drive it. I am very concerned about the amount of spare parts that are increasingly difficult to get, it was never like that with the Mercedes brand. I hope it is temporary.
At the moment, I am gathering material of everything that I see as important to have as backup to keep it going for many years.
I hope to learn a lot from you, and also contribute, since I have a workshop and I try to do everything myself.
Happy holidays to everyone on these important dates.
Welcome : ) Once you get to it, post pictures : )

Curious color. During the day it looks blue and at night it looks almost black 😂

I bought it with non-original 19” rims, but they were bad, and I changed them for original 18” ones. Little by little I am making small repairs, and there are still some to do. I have already done the most urgent ones, but it remains to condition the ABC valve boxes because the car lowers very quickly once stopped. Afterwards, a complete painting, it's not bad, but I want it perfect.

All the best.

Curioso color. De día se ve azul y de noche casi negro 😂

Lo compré con llanta 19” no original, pero estaban mal, y las cambié por originales de 18”. Poco a poco voy realizando pequeñas reparaciones, y aún quedan algunas por hacer. Las mas urgentes ya las he realizado, pero queda acondicionar las cajas de válvulas del ABC porque el coche se baja muy rápido una vez parado. Después, un pintado completo, no está mal, pero lo quiero perfecto.

Un saludo.
