Hi Rob - late to the party but welcome!
350SLs rule - it's always good to be younger than your car.

I have the same under my 350's carpets.

After its warm its fine. Is this normal? (It did not do that when I first looked at the car but I did add Fuel System cleaner to the gas tank and thats when the problem seemed to start.) |
Mine does the same thing. I talked to the PO about this, and they had gone to the trouble of writing to MB about the issue (they are MB nuts). I have the letter back from MB in my history file which points to a problem with the "warm up air slide". Now I have no idea if this is the case - but hey, that's what they said! I'm used to it now and don't let it bother me.
Enjoy - it looks like a great car.
