Good idea and you may as well make a few extra, I can guarantee you won't be the only one to experience this.

 

I took a short look on the engine of my SLK32. Couldn't find this gasket/flange. Seem to be only for SRT6...

 

thanks Bruno. I will check with Chrysler......shudddderrrrrrr......

and then I will make one out of aluminum.

Sorry I couldnt help you much Mike. I called down to my local Chrysler dealer and the parts guy... well to put it nicely doesnt know what he is doing. I am going to try and stop by their on my way home and see if my guy Jessy is working and can give me more info.

 

Randy, thanks very much for your efforts. I am pretty sure that I can make an aluminum one. That will fix mine but everyone else will be screwed if we dont find out what the part number is and where to get it. hmmmmm... maybe I could make a LOT of money

And the good news is, IT's ALIVE!!! I just finished putting everything back together on the Aero and it is running fine. I did have a starting up problem at first. Cranks away and no fire. DTC shows P0335...da@%$ that crank position sensor. Tried reseating the connectorl...no help..swapped the sensor...no help...tweeked the pins on the connector and the sensor...no go. Wait, I thought I saw something odd on the frame data about the voltage. Get out battery charger and set for 200amps crank. Key on...IGNITION! We have lift off... I let the car warm up some and shut it off and tried again. No fire. Battery charger again and ignition again. This time I take it for a little drive and blow out the cobwebs and get it all warmed up. Shut it down at home and it fires right back up. I am thinking that my battery is starting to act up and causing the CPS errors. That could be what I have been fighting for the last 2 months. Strange things happen when batteries start giving odd voltages and/or current. I guess I need to run over to Costco and get a new battery after my 3:00pm call. The race track is looking promising!

Can you let the other fellow asking for a battery know which one you got at costco.
