Loud rattle at start

Maybe somebody knows where this rattling at the beginning comes from?
It appears after letting the car sit for 5 min.
The chain got replaced last week and for the first like 20 engine starts cold/warm the car sounded completely fine.

In my comments are pictures of the piston head.

Is my chain worn?

I could stretch it minimal as seen in the video. Does that mean my chain is worn?

Engine has no power at 120kmh

Hello, yesterday I had a problem with my M271 engine. While accelerating on the motorway, at around 120 km/h it started to jerk a bit and the engine power dropped significantly, as if I were suddenly towing a caravan. After restarting the car and accelerating again, the check engine light came on with the following message: Boost pressure signal faulty (Ladedruck signal fehlerhaft).

I don’t know what I can do to fix this issue maybe someone can help me.

Engine rattle at start

Maybe somebody knows where this rattling at the beginning comes from? I checked the timing chain and it had no play at all.
It appears at every cold and warm start but not at a instant restart.

Apple CarPlay

Does anyone know of good and affordable options for Apple CarPlay? I've been searching for a long time and don't want to end up with a bad or laggy one.

Question clutch

Hi, I test drove a 2006 Mercedes SLK 200 R171. I noticed that about halfway through pressing the clutch, there was resistance, like pushing against a spring. Does anyone recognize this problem and know how to fix it, or should I just leave it alone? Thanks in advance!

Frage Kupplung

Servus, ich bin einen Mercedes Slk 200 r171 aus 2006 probegefahren. Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, das ca. ab der Hälfte des Kupplung treten ein Widerstand aufgetreten ist als würde man gegen eine Feder drücken.

Kennt jemand das Problem und weiß wie man es repariert oder lieber die Finger davon lassen.

Danke im Voraus!

Slk r171 200 Help

I'm thinking of buying an SLK. It has some rust in a few places, including the drive shafts, differential, and the corners of the rear underbody (no picture available), where the rust is flaking off a bit.

The car has: 160,000 km
Full Mercedes service history
2 previous owners
Made in October 2004
Fresh MOT/TÜV inspection with no issues
€6,600

Apart from a couple of rust spots on the paint, the hood has larger gaps on the right side than on the left. However, the screws look completely untouched.
Is it still worth buying the car? (Sorry, I'm not a professional)

Slk R171 200

Ich möchte mir einen SLK kaufen dieser rostet an ein paar Stellen darunter sind wie auf den Bildern die Antriebswellen, Differential und die Ecken des hinteren Unterbodens betroffen (kein Bild) wo der Rost ein wenig abblättert.

Das Auto hat:

160.000km
Lückenlos Checkheft bei Mercedes
2 Vorbesitzer
Aus 10/2004
Frischer TÜV ohne Mängel
6.600€

Bis auf noch 2-3 Rost Pickel auf dem Lack hat die Motorhaube auf der rechten Seite größere Spaltmaße als auf der linken Seite. Die Schrauben sehen jedoch noch absolut unberührt aus.

Lohnt es sich dennoch das Auto zu kaufen?

(Sorry bin kein Profi)
