So the guys in the E55 W211 AMG section have a sticky on a bunch of different DIY goodies. I want to make one for the SL55/65 Section as well. So here are all the different DIY I provided to the forum and also that others have over the time. Please add any DIY you can to this thread.

kamilclk430

No problem guys please let me know if there is anymore you find that way we can add them to the list

Zaddick

+ 5 to sticky this thread!

kamilclk430

I just added a bunch of other stuff to the list guys. If you see anything out there that is not on the list just let me know so I can add it. Some of the threads are from the E55 section, however our motors are the same so all of the threads are usefull.

threeMBs

Do you have one for the steering wheel swap by chance?

kamilclk430

This is on the E55 but I dont think that there is much difference at all just follow these steps.

DIY: Supercharger Oil Refilling

This is a very good idea since there’s so many issues with these cars not even MB mechanics know how to fix (or determine the fault) so as everybody know; information is power! and we SL owners certainly have to stick together.


I know cal1 is lobbying for a section only for DIY here at the forum but I’m not sure of status?

Wagz

This is great stuff Kamil!
thank you for putting it together.

Rick SL55
