SL 55 AMG Fuel Tank Baffle
Discussion
Yes - mine has just gone!! has anyone any detail, or photos of the tank showing what has fallen off, or how to get it out, or know of an "Independent"who can sort it ?
I have been in touch with MBUK, who deny liability, but it appears to be a clear case of "not fit for purpose" !! Has anyone had any luck with them?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I work at an independant Mercedes specialist and we're doing these tanks far too regularly! It seems that the Daimler big wigs aren't prepared to deal with the issue. The tanks alone are £566, a bit of a blow. I certainly wouldn't entertain a £2k plus bill at a dealer though, we charge around £1000.

It effects them all unfortunately, not too sure about the latest facelifted cars but I'm pretty much certain it's been the same tank throughout the R230's life cycle.
I was told that the baffles were added in late 02 - so the earliest cars eg. mine don't suffer from this. If mine had baffles I'd have expected them to have failed (every other thing has ) - I can hear fuel sloshing faintly sometimes, it's certainly not intrusive and I find in quite comforting - that sloshing indicates that I'm not going to get a 2K bill!Gassing Station | Mercedes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
