wiring noise from rear
I picked up my SLK350 about 2 months ago, it has now done about 1500k. Right from the start I could hear a high pitched wiring noise coming from behind me, not that loud just a little annoying. At first I thought it was the Sat Nav DVD but after ejecting the disk it was still there. On a quick trip back to the dealer to pick up the phone cradle I asked one of the service guys to have a listen. He thought it was not a problem and just the normal sound from the fuel pump or the catalytic converter.
Now 2 months on it is getting louder and more annoying. It is there when stopped and as you accelerate away it goes away but comes back when cruising or holding a steady throttle. Have not had a chance to go back to the dealer yet and let them listen again.
Anyone have any thoughts on what it may be? Thanks.

I'd have that checked out right away, more than just someone listening to it. Sounds serious to me. Mine is perfectly quiet at idle and at constant speed...
