As one of my pet hates is reading a thread that never gives the information if a problem is solved , I had better not do it myself. Before buying anything that would turn out unnecessary I went back to my garage on a day when I had finished early. His code reader gave the same fault codes so he...

Service was done at a garage I have used for years. Not a Merc indy but he and his father do hundreds of Sprinters and Vitos. Full service, oil, all 4 filters. Battery was replaced 11 months ago with a HD Yukon. Glow plug light functions as normal and does not come on once running. Turbo...

Hi , 2005 ML 270CDI. The vehicle has been fully serviced less than a month ago. It has always started at the first click of the key regardless of the weather. I noticed a couple of weeks back that is wasn't starting on first click but still started well. On Monday we had the first freeze and it...

Do you have a link as I can’t find them?

I have just googled them but they only show for the W164 not the W163 ML

If I knew what the level rods were I would check them, Would you elaborate please?

Pun accepted lol

There is no levelling switch in the dash the xenon headlights are automatically adjusted.

Could anyone tell me where the headlight control module is situated on a 2005 ML 270cdi? Are there additional sensors that could cause the lights to shine too high when driving and yet be perfectly ok when tested and adjusted when stationary. The car has xenon headlights and I am continually...

The vehicle is a 2005 ML 279cdi . I am looking for a part number or name for the rubber pipe that connects to the front of the egr valve . I have been in the phone to Mercedes parts department and they have sent me a parts diagram but the hose is not on there. Could anyone identify the name for...

I just wanted to clarify for myself. Engine and gearbox up to normal running temperature, gearbox in neutral , and then check the level with the engine running? Is that the correct procedure?

I used 1.8ltrs in the rear diff , filled until it started to flow over the fill hole. 1.1 ltrs was all that came out. Outside of the diff dry as a bone no leaks anywhere to be seen.

I have an inside area where I can work but the diff oil I ordered didn't arrive so it will be Wednesday before that wee job gets done. I decided to follow the original posters lead and make a list of what to do lol. I live on the east coast so not had the worst of the storm.

Thank you.

I changed the rear diff oil at the weekend and it took 1.8ltrs. Although only1.1ltrs came out and no leaks but it was absolutely gunge that came out. I am changing the front diff oil on Sunday so will let you know the capacity.

Thank you.

So am I right in assuming you only removed the bulb not the whole headlight??

Is the headlight an easy removal? My o/s headlight has moisture inside and I want to get it dried out and resealed. They are xenon headlights if that makes a difference.

Once again I am late to the party. I have really enjoyed reading this thread and take my hat off to the mechanical knowledge you guys have. I love working and doing the basic maintenance on my cars and vans but have limits to what I will try, I bought my ML in Spalding and went down on the...
