Mercedes Slk - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Slk R170, MK 1 - Years 1997-2004
Part: Soft top
Operation: Soft top piston oil leak on Mercedes SLK

If the headlining piston of your Mercedes SLK R170 leaks oil, don't worry. Unfortunately, this is a recurring problem on this model of car but it is nothing serious: there is only one o-ring to change. To do this, create a 3 mm hole creating the necessary space to extract the piston, as shown in the video. In this way it will no longer be well stuck and you can pull out the piston and change the o-r. At the end of the procedure, top up the soft top oil compartment located on the right side of the engine bonnet: it is recommended to use 02615 suspension hydraulic oil for this purpose.
