Known issues on the 2008 SL65 AMG. A twelve-cylinder engine with turbocharging places heavy demands on cooling, lubrication and fuel delivery, and those are the systems where precise data counts most. The manual provides procedures and specifications for the V12's mechanical work, its boost-related components, and its ignition and fuel systems, alongside torque values for the drivetrain and suspension. Wiring diagrams and diagnostics extend to the convertible's body electrical circuits, so a cabin fault can be traced as well as an engine fault.
