1996 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 Kompressor Start-Up, Full Vehicle Tour, Quick Drive, and 0-100km/h Run

Hello everyone! Back in June, I took my second ever trip to Germany. During that trip, I managed to film some cars, one of which was this beautiful 1996 SLK 230 Kompressor that is owned by a friend of mine who let me film it. Enjoy!

[@danmccarthy4700]

I'll never get sick of watching that roof work. I wish I could go for a top-down drive in mine right now but it's too cold to do that (even for me!).

[@TheBlujeansify]

Finally a car review after such a long time. Thanks for sharing.

[@alexlovesmac]

+Blu Jeansify Thank you for watching!

[@gio8669]

Love the r170 and love the sound of the kompressor

[@gregghorner9107]

The exhaust sounds just right with the top down.

[@thomasmarling1477]

I love my SLK 230. When I drive down the seawall in Galveston I see a lot of people checking it out

[@DAGATHire]

Thanks for this mate. I'm looking at buy one as a sort of weekend car, and i was desperately looking for a video with the engine running correctly so i can gauge the sound as it should sound. Also, it a very in depth overview of an SLK in great condition so I can view the second hand cars now with a greater understanding of what's good and what's bad. I really appreciate this video. Thanks a lot. P.S. If you ever see this message perhaps you could let me know if you installed the daylights yourself? and what the process was?

I own a 2003 SLK320 and I love it

[@crshedyt]

@@scherzva 3 years later im replying to your comment just to say that i want an slk 230 rn haha

[@williamti1476]

Nice review. I'm planning to get a car like this myself. 😉👍

[@katharina4847]

My mom has the same but no automatic...we just drive this car in summer...thats why our slk looks like new!!!

[@aamirpatel4608]

that interior is amazing

[@gregghorner6534]

It may have been repainted. The r170s have major problems with peeling interior paint.

[@aamirpatel4608]

True

[@waynedome148]

Mine interior needs repainting, has the same, colour interior.

[@mitchdrury220]

Brilliant video, thanks!

[@Speeeeedmasterr]

[@patrickclaydon9313]

Fantastic detail really appreciate that cheers

[@wigs1098]

The S on the transmission switch means 'standard' not sport on a Benz.

[@Savige96]

Wrong. It's "weich" (soft) and sport.

[@karlharrison2449]

Very good informative video, thanks.

[@suhabozyel]

thank you for the vid.

[@masterchririus]

Check engine light is either faulty or taped over / removed on this car.

[@mimu_rl]

you still got that car? how many miles are on it now? :P

[@adehart8193]

7th Gen Toyota Celica please

[@mahmoudsawi3418]

Nice car ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@goldfishking5465]

Is this car expensive to have

[@WhiteWolfTalking77]

+Ps4 all the way no it's not

[@gregghorner6534]

Yep. the electrical system is problematic and the vario roof is very expensive to service if it fails.

[@danmccarthy4700]

It is. I love mine to death but in the 4 years I've owned it, 2016 was the only one to not have some sort of weird, expensive electrical failure occur. My car has had a lot of issues, especially concerning the security system. And if there's ANY problem in the security system, your car will not start. Everything else on the thing- engine, transmission, etc. feels bombproof.

[@canerkaptanoglu640]

That car is in great shape! I own a slk 200 and sharing videos about whenever i restore stg or solve a problem, enthusiast are welcone on my page too👍🏻🙂

[@katharina4847]

My mom has the same but no automatic...we just drive this car in summer...thats why our slk looks like new!!!

[@sarahcollins3961]

My dad has that car

[@kevinlofur8103]

How does this particular Mercedes not have air conditioning?

[@alexlovesmac]

+Kevin Lofur It was an option.

[@kevinlofur8103]

On a Mercedes? A/C was an option??

[@dubelgium]

+Kevin Lofur this car is almost 20 years old. And yes, indeed, german premium cars have (had) many options which make them expensive. But keep in mind : when you live in a central european country where average temperature is mostly about 15° celsius (60 farenheit), the aircondition was considered as an option. And heated leather seats as well. You don't need a warmed up ass on a leather seat when you have mostly 45 Fahrenheit on winters... ;-) In fact, I have a slk 170since 18 years, and I don't give a damn about that shit. I need brakes and steerings that are doing well after 100.000 miles on country lanes...

[@allaboutkalergi5012]

My understanding is that the SLK has 'Climate Control' as standard, with dual-zones - left and right side of the car. Just set one of the two temperature dials and the car does the rest. This particular car also features heated seats - a big plus for driving top down in cold weather.

[@alexlovesmac]

It doesn't have climate control.

[@BHalliwell08]

Does anyone who has this car also has a multiple cd-changer in their glovesbox? I have that, but for some reason it's too small for a cd to fit, so I'm wondering how to use it... Could anyone help me out with that?

[@museumandtravel]

my all original 99 has the cd changer in trunk

[@museumandtravel]

maybe the original connections in trunk, maybe a d.i.y. job or take to local stereo shop to re hook up, my all original is 6 cd changer I think it would be impossible to fit in glovebox, if not working buy a used one at a junkyard or on ebay then have them install in trunk

[@forlebanon9208]

I have slk 230 kompressor 1999 hhhh

[@pariszana2]
