What’s the idle RPM on a Mercedes 500SL?
What is strange now is that if I start car cold, it does everything right, starts idle at about 1000 rpm then drops within a very short time to idle at about 550 rpm. All is well even while warming up but the moment I hit the gas and let off, the idle only drops to about 1100 rpms so it’s not just creeping up on its own like before.
What does 8V mean on a Mercedes 500SL?
Ok. 8V at X11 with ignition ON but engine OFF, and coolant temperature less than 70deg C signifies all parameters are in order. With engine running you got 1-4V fluctuating at X11. This is equivalent to an OFF/ON ratio of 67% to 92%, which indicates a lean KE baseline mixture setting. Engine would be very unhappy.

Why does my Mercedes SL Class make a clicking noise?
Uneven tire wear and unusual handling in turns can be caused by worn suspension links. Check your rear rearward upper link. A light clicking noise from your rear suspension over bumps can be the result of worn sway bar links. Is your rear ride height lower than normal or do you want to install lowering springs?
