Parts for Mercedes-Benz SLK
The Mercedes-Benz SLK parts section contains 6 items across three categories: spark plugs (3), serpentine belts (2), and oil filters (1). The selection covers all generations of the model — from the SLK (R170) 1996–2004 with 200 and 230 Kompressor engines to the SLK (R171) 2004–2011 and the SLK (R172) from 2011. The catalog features the brands NGK (3 items), Gates, Dayco, and Mann+Hummel, including part numbers such as Gates 6PK1873, NGK 2397 BKUR6ET-10, and Mann+Hummel HU7010Z.
When selecting, consider the generation and the specific modification: for the R170, the 200 Kompressor (170.444, 170.445) and 230 Kompressor (170.447, 170.449) engines differ by production year, while for the R171 the 200 Kompressor (171.442) is listed. For spark plugs, verify the NGK part number and the design specification — for example, SINGLE ELEC PLKR7A — and for belts, check the profile size and length, as in the 6PK1873 marking on the Gates and Dayco belts. Choose OEM or aftermarket according to your budget, but always verify that the part fits your SLK version.
