Slk 230 Kompressor evo 2001
Please help...for 230K Evo
I thank you in advance for helping me couse I really need it.
I'm going to take my 230K evo (2001 year) imported from Germany but after a little run some questions have taken my mind.
I have to decide to buy the car of not tomorrow and so I need your experience as owners of the car.
I have driven another 230K evo before this one(that I have to buy) and it seems to be more quiet and a little faster.
Is it normal that the kompressor is noisy( I can hear it clearly in the car) or can be broken and for this reason the car is a little slower?
I was driving with air-conditioned on but with the vent on zero, can be this the reason why it seems to me that this car was a little slower in respect with the other one?
Using the touchshift I have noticed one strange thing.
Switching to manual mode I have pushed the engine till red-line and then the rev-limiter cutted power.
I knew that the gear-change will shift-up when the red-line was reached.Is it normal?
Please help me if you can and thank you all.
