Last Visit Under Warranty/Issues?
I'll be taking my SL to my dealer next month for its last visit under warranty. Making a list of possible issues.
So far I have the subframe corrosion issue, cam sensor leaks, timing cover leak. Both engine and transmission mounts have been replaced under warranty already.
Any other items I should mention? Thanks.

Engine and tranny mounts? How many miles are on your car?
Check for hydraulic fluid leaks in the trunk. Have you operated your top yet this year?

That seems like low mileage to replace the engine and transmission mounts. I had to replace the mounts on my 2004 SL500 last year, but it had over 100,000 miles and was 17 yers old. How did you determine the mounts were bad? Did the car just feel weird one day when you pull away from a traffic light?
Darn! Forgot to do that when I replaced mine. Woulda made it easier.

That's correct. One tranny mount and two engine mounts. I'm just surprised they failed so early.
