2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mercedes-Benz? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz SLK320? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your SLK320 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my SLK320's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz SLK320 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mercedes-Benz. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mercedes-Benz SLK320? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercedes-Benz SLK320, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

  • Can I drive my Mercedes-Benz SLK320 with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
