For the rear toe, if you follow one of the lower arms inward, you'll see the adjustment bolts hiding above the exhaust pipe. You have to lower the exhaust pipe by removing the rubber exhaust hangers toward the rear. Then you can lower the exhaust enough to get to the adjustment bolts. It's been awhile but I believe you need to loosen both bolts then move the wheel to the desired position, then lock down the bolts. I did a string alignment and was able to get it pretty close, later took it to the dealer to have them do it. One of the very rare occasions I take my car to the dealer! Here is a picture of the bolts. mbworld.org/forums/sl-class-r230/826529-there-special-tool-rear-toe-adjustment.html

I have not opened the panel up and looked at the connections, but it's been a few years now and I haven't lost any fluid out the tank. The top does go up and down daily, but I normally don't move the roll bar.

@@MrMarco6900 thanks for quick reply, did you have to change any other hydrolik cylender, im so afraid from the two main and the assistant one, they look so hard to reach, i hope i'll never have to replace it,, thank you for the video, it makes our life easier with this nice car

Yes, in order, I've had to replace the top lock cylinder, right frame lock, left frame lock, trunk lid drive, roll bar, two lock paws. The top lock cylinder is the only one I was able to rebuild myself.

@@MrMarco6900 i see, i already replaced the two frame locks , the left paws (now i'm doing the right pows) the trunk lid, hopefully I want need to replace the Right/left load assist cylinder(2308001572) or the right/left Main lift cylinder,(2308001272) because I could not find any video on how to replace those cylinder, i think the whole process looks scary.... i'm preparing my self for this hug job in advance .....

This video shows how to manually open and close the roof. You should be able to get it from this video. ruclips.net/video/OZt8nvGhMGw/видео.html

@MrMarco6900 Thank you! I was able to manually close the trunk. I definitely have a faulty cylinder as the carpet by the left trunk feels damp, do you have a good resource on the layout of the cylinders, so I can Starr brainstorming which ones to replace😅 Thanks!

Here is a diagram of the cylinders and location. tophydraulics.com/content/51-mercedes-benz-r230-info

@@MrMarco6900 Thank you, this is perfect!

The window does need to be at least half way down in order to remove window regulator. Also if your window is stuck in the up position. While holding the window down button have someone apply even pressure on the top while pushing down. It shouldnt take much force to get it to go down.

There are 3 cylinders altogether. You have the roll bar cylinder on the passengers side only, which raises and lowers the roll bar, and the small lock paw cylinders on both sides which lock the roll bar in place.

Hello Victor. Start at timestamp 1:55 that shows you how to separate the clear plastic cover.

No, just the camber arms.

@@MrMarco6900 the bushings on the lower control arm fail and causes camber problems. you have to change them

I couldn't say as I don't know what comes with the non Multicontour seat. Seems it would be a heck of a lot of work. You would also need to program it in with a DAS computer.

Yeah those look to be much stronger. I guess it would be just a matter of getting the right size.

Sorry I wouldn't know where you could get a driver for a specific model. You could possibly find another mercedes model that has the same part number for the ECU and try the driver for that model. Try deleting and reinstalling the program. Possibly try the program on a different computer.

The first one to go is usually the top front lock cylinder, you have to remove the headliner to check that one. Of course you have to remove the panels to check the roll bar cylinders too. Did you check all the other places I showed in the video?

It will take quite a bit of leaked oil from the pawls to accumulate in the rocker panel below before appearing as a puddle on the ground.Once it does, you'll know whether it's the Left or Right one. I emptied my reservoir twice before it became obvious.

Both get the air from PSE pump. It's in the trunk under the hydraulic pump, (bottom left) If you are sure the fuse is good, you might have a bad PSE pump. Search Mercedes PSE pump and you'll find a few good videos on how to fix it or replace it.

According to the cabriolethydraulics website, they are not reusable. You might be able to use another set of couplers but I don't think there is a lot of slack in the hose back to the pump. Might be possible but I don't know.

Don't have a part number, I've only seen them at cabriolethydraulics. At this moment they are saying "We currently have a low inventory on Hose Couplers. Please contact us for availability". They do make the hoses for the R230. "Hoses are available in sets or individually. Call us for pricing at (941) 756-1300." Click the link in the description for their website.

Hello Aaron, as you can see from the video, I was not able to get the connector off on the bottom part without cutting it off. If you're putting in a new radiator, you don't have to worry about breaking the plastic neck on the old radiator so you can just pry the connector off with a crowbar or big screwdriver. You might need a new connector and hose section by doing that but not a bad idea to replace it anyway. I don't remember having a problem with the upper connector part of the hose.

Just FYI, I did replace the radiator as the leak was coming from the plastic part of the radiator just above the plastic neck. Seams to be a common problem right at that spot. I would highly recommend getting a BEHR radiator.

Give me you phone number , I'll text you some pictures

Thanks! The part number for the whole thing is 2307500185.

Looks like Cabriolet Hydraulics have changed their website since this video. Looks like you probably need to call them to order the couplers.

I've haven't done that but here is a WIS procedure for it. charm.li/Mercedes%20Benz/2004/SL%20500%20%28230.475%29%20V8-5.0L%20%28113.963%29/Repair%20and%20Diagnosis/Body%20and%20Frame/Roll%20Bar/Service%20and%20Repair/Removal%20and%20Replacement/AR91.50-P-2000R%20Remove%2FInstall%20Roll%20Bar/

@@MrMarco6900 thank you! 🤝

Folding the bags in half, that's a good idea, I didn't think of that!

The problem was a very small crack in the radiator just slightly above the hose. I replaced the radiator.

@@MrMarco6900 Thanks for your reply. Maybe I have the same problem :(

I can't see a purpose for the ball bearings. I just know it starts working again when you seal them up.
