How to Fix the Air Conditioning on a Mercedes SLK350 | Between The Wheels 

Thank you very much for posting this video. I am one of your subscribers, owning an SLK350, over here in the UK. Very pleased with my SLK so far and good to hear your are having relatively trouble free motoring with yours so far. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Jon.

That was one of the best repair videos I’ve ever seen! Thank you!

I’m waiting for more videos!!!! I have an 06 SLK 280 and you’re like the only slk car guy on RU-vid!!!

Great series man! can't wait for more content

I loved how you did this video, great inspiration and example to share what you learned with others, thank so much! May be taking on a 2005 slk with some issues so doing some research before, so if I do I'll join the group you mentioned. Have a great week and thanks again!

Great videos, they're really interesting to watch. Also like the editing. Looking forward to new ones, keep it up!

Brilliant and v.informative. thank you

Thanks for the great video! About to fix our '06 SLK, just stopped blowing today. Wwas hard to defrost the mist from the windshield right before it went out which leads me to blocked drain system.

Great video! Thank you!

Most of the AC problems (intermittant and permanent issues) in the SLK R 171 (2005 thru 2010 models) stem from 4 bad capacitors in the front SAM. The SAM circuit board has to be removed and cut open with a dremel tool. Replacement capacitors are all available from digikey. This is the only way to fix this issue; other than replacing the front SAM. (approx $ 4,000.00 at dealership) Replacing the SAM is no guaranteed fix. There is a detailed video on a mercedes blog but I can't remember which blog. Very challanging to fix but works. New caps have to be soldered in by a computer repair tech.

Master!.....Thank you!

I’m liking these videos. I bought an SLK350, too. I wanted a roadster to do my 30mile each way commute. My kids are on their own and I bought a new Fiesta ST that I’ve modified for track fun. I really love that car, but it’s not the best ride for daily freeway fighting. I also have a truck for truck stuff. I am starting to think the FiST and SLK are a little redundant, but am now really enjoying them both.

Thank you, same problem I have on my 06'

I noticed the passenger side floor gets wet due to water filling under the hood near the battery. In front of the battery is a rubber drain that needs to be cleaned regularly or you may toast blower resistor

Great video for us SLK owners and for those members of SLKWorld. You should really promote your videos on the site I'm sure you'd have a great following and increase your subscriber count. Maybe we'll see your car in 'Ride of the Month'.

Where did you get your strut brace, and did it fit up ok? Thanks! Great videos. I got my 2005 SLK350 manual for the exact same reasons you did!

I have the same scanner. It helped figure out what was wrong with my SLK's AC. Mine was the compressor failing to engage. It turned out to be an air bubbles in the high pressure side.

OK, great video. Changed the Regulator and when it wasn't fully in yet I opened the driver door (the passenger was left open) and the blower came on and I didn't have the key in. I put the key in and turned it off and on and then shut the door. I assumed I had fixed the blower. finished putting it in and now nothing. Same as before. Is it the multi function sensor I now need to replace? I have read where a blower stayed on after the key was removed. Thanks in advance. Gary

Can you please send me the link for the parts.

Would you recommend the slk as a good first car asking because decideing on on my first purchase if not any suggestions

Slk 350 owner here stick shift manual🙋‍♂️ hello everyone

Great video! Was your AC not blowing at all, or was it just not blowing cold air? I have a 2005 SLK 350 as well that is only blowing warm air, no longer cold. The "MAX COOL" text won't appear anymore and the compressor doesn't seem to be kicking on. Not sure this is related to the multifunction sensor or blower regulator...

How much do you miss the slk in hindsight? I think it'd be very interesting for you to make a video comparing all the cars you've owned but especially the slk350 since I have one of my own.

Any idea if the scanner you have will reset your SRS airbag light?

Good evening !! Love this video it’s very helpful. I would like to know where did you purchased your multifunction sensor...? I’ve been looking around and haven’t been able to find my model 2005 slk 350 automatic convertible Benz. I tried looking also on eBay . But don’t know which junkslk you found it in .. thanks much blessings!!

Thnx

Do u happen to know what it means when the A/C turns and the Steering wheel shakes? Thanks

Did you try it after the multi function sensor was installed? Before you installed the blower regulator that is. Just curious. Thanks.

Where did you get that front tower wheel brace?

Good afternoon: I have a SLK-350 2005 Hard Top Automatic Convertible . I’m having problem with my Air conditioning it’s not working and my check engine light 💡 keeps turning on. I came across your video and it sounds like the issue I’m having. I would like if possible you tell me where did you purchased your code reader gadget (icarsoft obd 2 v.2 ) ..? Because I’ve tried searching for tha same model but it get a different ones they have on Amazon it’s the version 1 . They also have another which looks exactly like the one you show on your video,however it only says icarsoft i980 OBD2 . Can you please let me know if they all work for any Mercedes Benz from 2005 -up or if possible send me the link where I may purchase that exact one you have . Thanks have a great rest of the day ..

Thinking about buying one of these SLK . 2006 . 100k miles $5500 . What do u guys think ?

Did your SLK come stock with the digital AC control?

very enjoyable video

I believe I saw you the other day, maybe Friday, driving down Shore Dr. in Norfolk. Like to catch up with you sometime to talk SLK
