What happens if my Mercedes-Benz SLK230 spark plugs fail?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What does a puddle underneath my Mercedes-Benz SLK230 mean?

Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.

What do hard starts and stops do to my SLK230 engine?

You can make your driving habits more engine-friendly. Hard starts and stops can increase the stress on engine parts, especially over many years. Boost your fuel economy and care for your engine by using gradual, smooth starts and stops instead.

How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Mercedes-Benz SLK230 need to be cleaned?

The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Mercedes-Benz owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

Tune Into Your Mercedes-Benz SLK230

Is it tune-up time? If you usually wait until your car has an issue to take it in for service, it might be time to change your ways, particularly if you want to keep your 1998 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 in tip-top shape. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your SLK230. Tune-ups give your engine a boost in efficiency, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy. When you get routine engine tune-ups based on Mercedes-Benz's recommendations, you invest in your SLK230's long-term health and engine performance.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Mercedes-Benz SLK230

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1998 Mercedes-Benz SLK230. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your SLK230. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your SLK230. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Keep in mind that your SLK230's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. A one-size-fits-all engine tune-up procedure doesn’t necessarily exist. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.
