Service?!
My SLK is hitting 70,000 miles (2000 slk230).
What kind of service should i be performing on it. I dont want
to take it to the dealer. Is it a Service A or B?
Any ideas and how much i should expect to pay?
Thanks

Service suggestions
Check the owners manual on how to check the instrument cluster for distance (or days) remaining to the A or B service. 1 wrench is A service 2 wrenches is B service.
From the service booklet here are some more items (first # is MB service code):
2 Year Items
4280-Replace brake fluid
0090-Inspect suspension and body structure
9850-Inspect body for paint damage
3 Year Items
2080-Replace coolant (Water/anticorrosion/antifreeze mixture)
4 Year Items
4256-Check control cables for parking brake for easy movement
4152-Check condition of drive shaft flex discs
4671-Retighten steering gear bolts
0780-Fuel filter: Replace
4751-Check condition of fuel filler nozzle seal in fuel filler neck, replace if damaged
-------Air filter: Replace elements
In addition, others have suggested changing the transmission fluid, differential fluid, and power steering fluid every 50,000 miles.
