Yes, it is possible to change the default climatronic console unit of an SLK200 R171 model with the digital bi-zone climatronic one, but it may require some modifications. Ensure compatibility with the vehicle's wiring and software systems, as they may differ between units. Additionally, you might need to reprogram the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) to recognize the new climatronic system. It's advisable to consult a professional or a specialized mechanic for this upgrade.

If the bonnet catch on your SLK200 is faulty, you can try using a thin tool, like a flathead screwdriver, to manually release the catch. Insert the tool between the grille and the bonnet to locate the catch mechanism, then gently pry it to unlock the bonnet. Alternatively, if accessible, you might need to pull the release cable directly from the cabin or access the catch from underneath the vehicle. If these methods don’t work, seeking assistance from a professional mechanic is recommended.

The washer tank for the windshield and front headlight washer share the same water tank, but two separate pumps, for obvious reasons. On my SLK, the washer pump houseing for the head lights was cracked and would allow water to flow out. I simply pulled the pump and plugged the hole, didn't think I really needed to have water spraying on my headlights. You will need to remove the front passanger tire and fender well plastic to get to the pump(s).
