SL55 - Squeaking noise when accelerating from a dead stop
Hello all,

Basically, when I accelerate slightly robustly from a dead stop, I hear a squeaking noise. Has this happened to anyone elses SL55? Thanks.

It is possibly the supercharger clutch. It is a fairly common symptom on the 55 engines.

I get a squeaking sound under hard acceleration from a dead stop too when changing gears on my SL63...very annoying.

Thanks for your input.


If it is the supercharger clutch, is there anything that can be done about it?

Warranty, if you still have it. Or pay out of pocket and install the "06' Clutch pckg" at dealership.

I had that too when I drove it (Sport+ or Manual). That the clutch slipping as well, just not the supercharger clutch.

I think that is the 1500 rpm chirp. Had that on my 03 SL 55. My 05 does NOT have it.
