The problem I am seeing is engine idling/revs behaviour, from cold it idles at just over 900 rpm and won't drop until a good 15 minutes of driving. When it does eventually drop to just over 800 rpm it will on occasion sit back at 900 even though the engine has warmed up.
ML320CDI---Engine Dies, just Stops!! Boy am I pi..ed! in the last 2 weeks my Engine has died 5 times on me, just driving along and RPM gauge Zero! Nada, put vehicle in neutral and restart no problem. No Lights! no Warning no feedback after, will be taking it for Service but just thought about sharing this with the MB ML community and see if
The 400 A fuse is from the pre-fusebox to the alternator, protecting a 35 mm² wire. The glow output stage is powered from a joint to this 35 mm² wire. This feed wire itself is 10 mm² and likely catches fire before the 400 A fuse blows up. Again one could blame the design but blaming the design does not make the problem go away.
The GL and ML are essentially the same. Gearbox TCU is common failure north of 100k. Air suspension too. Rear is cheaper to fix. I used cheap shocks and aerosus bags. Been fine. Fronts are much more complex and expensive. I wonât by really cheap here. Main costs have been with electrical problems. You will need the support of a good Indy garage.
While the prices vary based on your location, the average cost of replacing the crankshaft position sensor at an auto mechanic or the Mercedes-Benz dealership varies between $250 and $400. The crankshaft position sensor cost between $100 and $150 at the dealership; thatâs for the parts only.
Long thread with a lot of information incoming: I have a 2005 E320 CDI with 419,000 miles (possibly the highest mileage W211 on the forums), and to anyone that follows the several posts I've made over the last year, I've spent countless hours studying, hours and hours on STAR, and hundreds of dollars changing little sensors and valves trying to track down and fix ONE ANNOYING LITTLE PROBLEM:
At idle (700 rpm) the exhaust back pressure is 1967 mbar. at 2655 rpm, the exhaust back pressure is 2333 mbar. B28/8 (Pressure differential sensor (DPF)) at idle = 20.0 hPa. B19/9 (Temperature sensor upstream of DPF at idle = 496.04 (Fahrenheit) I am going to compare these to my wife's car tonight.
The most common problem with the W163 is transmission failure. The second generation ML320s (W164) have a common problem of engine oil leaks. These leaks typically occur around the oil cooler lines or at the front crankshaft seal. The W166 was mainly reported for electrical issues and the W167 had problems with air suspension.
