What happens if my Mercedes-Benz SLK250 spark plugs fail?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Mercedes-Benz’s recommendations.

What should I do if I see leaks under my SLK250?

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.

Are hard starts and stops bad for my Mercedes-Benz SLK250 engine?

Hard stops and starts can lead to premature wear on your engine’s components. Lighten up that lead foot and opt for steady, fluid starts and stops instead. Your engine (and your passengers!) will thank you.

Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your SLK250’s engine. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy.

Engine Tune-Up for Mercedes-Benz SLK250

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Mercedes-Benz SLK250 engine tune-up services. 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*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your SLK250. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your SLK250's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Keep in mind that your SLK250'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. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.
