Welcome to Merc Talk! This is a channel dedicated Mercedes SLK, model R170. I own a W reg SLK 2.3 AMG, and it needs a little love. So what you will see on this channel are 'how to' maintenance videos, charting my journey with my SLK, as I repair and restore it cosmetically.
From repainting the worn out car interior, re-syncing the old key-fob, installing the original Mercedes radio, replacing internal panels, what ever I'm doing with mum Mercedes, if it's useful knowledge, then I'll make a video and share the wealth.
If you would like a copy of the Mercedes R170 service manual, drop me a message in the comments section and I can send you a copy. I'm selling this valuable PDF for £5. Payments can be made via paypal and I can email you the documents over.
If there are any topics which you would like me to cover, drop me a message in the comments section and I'll make a video. Thanks.

Thank you
Hi where can I buy some in the grey ?
Thank you 👍
could you please tell me the color of the paint that you are using, Its the same color in my 2000 230 slk. I dont seem to find it in my car.
Hi mate amazing vid appreciate the content, I have the same colour interior as yours, can I use it on the glove box? Do you know please.
Thankyou mate I owe you a pint!
Thank you so much....one of my fobs suddenly stopped working...now its fine again👌
I guess I'm going to MB cuz I've tried several videos several times and nothing. New batteries- yes Good proper fuse- yes
It's same as described in the owners manual but still didn't work. Now what?
New batteries and it still didn't work for me
There aren't any clips just put upwards on the handle, it's a snug fit, takes a lot of effort, tight fit, no clips!!!!!!!!
Why didn't you do the video while you were doing the old one first??????
His video is not very clear as to how to remove the handle, his hands are in the way!!!!!!!
1 fob is working again the second fob with new batteries not
Do the 170's have RFID in the remote as well, or is that just later models?
For once someone who who knows what they're talking about, exactly how I did my R172 👍
I thought it was my problem i did that car started after 15 min playing with the key to start before this video, i did what you did on and it magically started I was exited but next day again couldn’t start my car and this didn’t work anymore. 1 h tried different things , fuses etc nothing worked than i hit my key several times and car started.. I think its either bad key or starter relay. So am going to buy $20 relay before $350 key first .
It does not work with my '99 SLK (R170), it keeps saying "starting error" as soon as I put the ignition in the second position. :(
Call Sam video or something simple. Have her car torn apart. Couldn’t figure out this one. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Buddy! This worked 🤩🤩🤩
You’re not very active anymore, but I just wanted to let you know that you have helped me so much in restoring the interior and fixing the key fob for my slk230. Thank you for your straight to the point and informative videos dude.
Thanks for making this video. My mom has Merced's Compressor and keyless entry wasn't working even with new batteries. Went online and tried this, AWESOME!! worked great!!
I use Hagerty for my right hand drive Japan import SLK 230 in Canada. It’s only $600 a year.
So simple… only if you know. Thanks so much for this valuable information
Ok, when you buy a remote control with a new key, how do you operate it on the car, because I bought a key with a new remote, but when I applied this method, it did not work. Don't tell me go to the dealer please.
Thank you so much for the video. It worked like a charm
It's now 2023. There's not been a video in 5 years. Having bought an SLK 230 last year, these videos have been really helpful. So the question is, do you still have yours and what happened?
Why does that still at 4:35 remind me of Finding Nemo?
There are no clips. It just slides on and off, but it's a very tight fit.
I can't get that volico, they won't export it to new zealand.
Grazie di tutti i tutorial e spiegazioni sei il n.1
My slk is blue in colour. The beige and black interior is tired looking. Do you know the colour I need to buy for the beige?
Hi great video but all i can find on Ebay is a spry version of this paint is that all thats available ?
I had the same problem with my 320slk. Cheapest interior of any car I have owned. I still find it staggering how Mercedes could use plastic for entire dashboard. Why could they not have used metal like the older pagoda top. In Australia my 320slk cost $120,000 in 2001. I loved this car but it broke me financially. I sold it with only 130,000kms on the speedo.
Thank goodnes it work for me. Thanks buddy. On my slk320.. I thought my keys are dead. This save my life ❤️👍
Great video do you know how to remove the armrest on R171 model
Thank you! Plain and simple, solved my problem after 3 workshops telling me to return for evaluation later
Worked on my ML500 (W164)
Wie heißt das Mittel und wo kann man es kaufen?
Weißt du wie es heißt ?
I have a 2001 Mercedes SLK 230 no start, no crank how can I fix it? Please
Thanks, bro :) it works
Video is not clear as to where the clips are. id tried to remove my hand brake cover using this video , it was not possible
Me neither (simply because they ‘re not there)! What does work is spray a little WD-40 between the rubber cover and the metal, wait for a few minutes, and it slides right off.
Tried every method, literally not working
Love the video and result. Like to try on my aging SLK interior. Please share eBay link or pic of the bottle. Thanks.
I wrapped in real leather instead. long lasting ua-cam.com/video/7W2fBDaO30M/v-deo.html
I stripped all the oem-paint off my interior, fixed alot of cracks and broken mounts with both epoxy, and superglue-infused very thin-fibre-glass matting and repainted with the Australian colour matched VIPOND's TautFlex, I feel it is very hard wearing now ... I had previously used Volico, but thought the Australian Vipond TautFlex was better
my tip for removing the handbrake lever rubber is warm the rubber up with an equipoise desk lamp for 5 minutes
Hi! i’m searching for some help i am in the process of stripping my interior paint previously from being tan to just leaving it black, but im having a hard time getting rid of this white stuff that’s left over after the stripper has been wiped off, could you give me any tips, or your steps and products you used? thank!
@@carleycox6791 I just left my Benz interior plastics in the laundry tub, filled with water and detergent overnight and it peeled off in sheets, so not sure what the white stuff is, but maybe remove with a mild solvent like methylated spirits or isopropyl alchohol. You might find the raw plastics a bit barren. You could recolour with automotive-vinyl dye that comes in a aerosol can. "Buckskin" is possibly the colour you want, or perhaps a satin black. I use vinyl dye to re-colour lots of plastics, and is the only thing that will recolour hard to paint plastics like PVC, but the benz interior is ABS, so the dye will work well. Buy 6 or so cans and make sure it is meticulously clean before spraying the dye - use a 'leopard spotting' technique applying successive thin coats every five minutes to build up the colour. The main solvent in vinyl dye is MEK (MethylEthylKetone) which is nasty and very powerful .. essentially it melts the top surface of the plastic to trap the colour pigment and once dried is very hard to scratch off. Needs to be applied on a not-cold day, eg above 15degC in a well ventilated area
Thanks for the VIPONDS tip, since the paint he uses is no longer available on Ebay. Shipping cost is almost as much as the product, but I'm giving it a go.
@@marlonbraccia8767 VIPONDS is good, hardwearing, and a little goes a long way, I bought 2 bottles, still have 3/4 of one bottle left and I did my whole dash, centre console, glovebox, etc;, water based, coat once by pouring a little VIPONDs onto a sponge to apply, leave overnight, apply 2nd coat, leave for 12hrs
This was a men and motors review not top gear
Can you give me e bay code as cannot see link
