The same puddle on which i was overtaken by a Toyota Echo since my car suddenly shutdown. Not covered by warranty is what they said. Anyone wants to buy an SLK280 with no engine? I feel that i had flushed my money away on this car. What is the use of the warranty if it does not cover the total engine brake down from normal driving! Their reports that water gone through the air intake damaged the pistons and that they broke smashing the block thus the block is ruined as well. How can this happen with a Mercedes Benz? Where is all that engineering R&D being spent? I was driving a 2006 SLK280 and clocked 17k before driving through a puddle near my apartment and having the engine brake down completely!
