Technical characteristics of the unit

The presented engine belongs to the Engines category and represents the family of gasoline Kompressor units used in the Mercedes SLK R170 model. The four-cylinder layout provides a balanced combination of performance and refinement, while the use of a supercharger allows for dynamic power delivery across the entire rev range. The unit has been designed for precise cooperation with factory equipment, the engine control unit, and the drivetrain system specific to this model.

The gasoline engine in this configuration performs well both in daily use and in more dynamic driving, characteristic of a lightweight roadster. The moderate mileage is conducive to further operation after proper installation and service, providing a solid foundation for restoring the full efficiency of the powertrain.

Application and compatibility

The engine was developed specifically for the Mercedes SLK R170 series 230 Kompressor model, which means it fits factory mounting points, cooling systems, intake, and electrical wiring. As a result, installation in a vehicle originally equipped with this unit is orderly and predictable, without the need for structural modifications.

The unit has an assigned OEM part number and a set of interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle equipment version. For workshops and specialists dealing with the Mercedes brand, this is a significant advantage, allowing for quick confirmation of compatibility with a given car and reducing the risk of selecting the wrong component.

Condition, mileage, and operational potential

The engine is offered as used, with documented mileage, which allows for a realistic assessment of its potential for further operation. Such a unit, with proper service maintenance after installation (fluid changes, filters, inspection of accessories), can be a cost-effective solution in the event of a failure of the existing engine or during a vehicle restoration project.

The moderate mileage combined with the four-cylinder design promotes stable operating parameters and predictable behavior in the long term. For users who appreciate classic Mercedes solutions and the characteristic acceleration of Kompressor units, this is a valuable base for further operation or potential modifications.

Benefits of choosing a Kompressor engine for the Mercedes SLK R170

• Consistency with factory design – a unit designed to work with the vehicle's original systems, without the need for mechanical adaptation.
• Dynamic performance characteristics thanks to the supercharger, ensuring quick throttle response.
• A reasonable compromise between performance and fuel consumption, typical for four-cylinder gasoline engines of this generation.
• Possibility of use as an element to restore full vehicle functionality after a failure of the previous unit.
• A good starting point for further service work or modernization projects within the powertrain.
