It seems according to your posts that you have significant issues with your car and Mercedes dealer refuses to service your car also that good independents for Mercedes do not exist. I would suggest that you get a subscription to alldatadiy.com. it has tons of data on SLK and includes for example a vacuum line routing for engine and intake manifold. It is a bargain at $16.96/yr.

I have no connection with this site, other than I am a satisfied customer. This is a well known site that many owners and garages use to get technical and repair information on a wide variety of cars. It sounds like you could use some information that you could access when you need it.

I'm not sure what you are asking, since the symptoms aren't precisely presented. . but as a shot in the dark, your wheel speed sensors may be bad and the car is in limp home mode, or you have a bad aftermarket fuel filter. do the idiot lights work? try going to auto zomne or whatever is near you and try their code reader as a first step.
