Replying to: kcassavetes (Jan 05, 2008 4:44 pm) Initially it was thought to be a brake light switch ($21 at the dealer/parts dept) but that all changed starting with the 2003 models. Same thing with the ABS relay ($15 part), nothing is the same anymore. I think that once they figured out that people were able to fix their own with inexpensive parts they changed them! Anyway, thanks for your post and I will mention it to the teenager that is working on my vehicle at the dealer!

Replying to: pkunk1 (Dec 06, 2007 7:24 pm) 2nd bump....I can't believe that noone on this forum has never changed their antifreeze! Well, I haven't & I want to. Any Ideas on where I can get the info/pic of the drains & how to access them? Quote: "I know I should be doing it, but I am really inconvienced by taking it to a dealer 180 miles away. Most of my vehicles have been a piece of cake to drain and refill. The 2000 ML320 has a radiator drain that is impossible to reach, the block drains are invisible. Anyone have a clue how to do this? Do I have to pull the bottom radiator hose?"
#8091 of 8166 low range problem by lynnejacob2001 Jan 14, 2008 (7:38 am)
I have a '98 320 with 207K miles. We had our first serious issue this weekend. I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered the same.   We don't use the low range often. We tried to activate it and the truck didn't seem to want to go into low range. It finally did and the check engine light came on. Then we couldn't get it out of low range. The low range inficator went off but it wouldn't shift properly. I think we finally got it back into high range but the check engine light is still on.   Anyone else experience this?

Replying to: lynnejacob2001 (Jan 14, 2008 7:38 am) You can try to cycle the transfer case from low to high range a few times. if this doesn't fix the problem the transfer case motor will need to be replaced. the check engine light is on because the transfer case motor didn't respond correctly
#8093 of 8166 M-class 320 power steering fluid leak in cold weather by mwithout Jan 17, 2008 (11:29 am)
Can anyone help? My wife's 2003 M-Class started this morning without a problem. However, it made a wheezing and not very loud noise after a half a mile of driving. The noise sounded like a decompressing sound of an electric motor. Then the power steering was no longer functional and the car was difficult to steer. I called a Mercedes Dealership and the service rep said that this model has tendency to “pop off” a hose in cold weather. I did indeed look under the hood and saw some fluid spray on the engine in the general area of the reservoir, but I didn’t see a loose or disconnected hose or clamp.   Any ideas? Is there any place on line for drawing or pics of the hose schematics? Just in case I missed something when I looked.

Replying to: mwithout (Jan 17, 2008 11:29 am) ML's (not sure on the model year range) have had a recall on a hose clamp in the power steering system. This is likely your problem, and MB should fix it even if out of warranty. Alternatively, our 2000 ML320 just had a hose failure on a cold morning (about 20 F), and that hose cost about $50/part and $50/labor at a non-dealer shop.

Replying to: terber (Jun 20, 2007 2:59 pm) Probably what you are hearing is the popping/snapping sound coming from the shims from the torsion bars, this is a result of dirt and rust gathered in this area, no big deal will not hurt anything but is annoying. After the car wash is goes away because the water present is acting a a very temporary lubrication.   -Kevin

Replying to: amb82 (Dec 31, 2007 4:06 pm) You are most likely experiencing a very common ailment in the the ML's, that is a faulty CPS (crank position sensor). This is an approx. $500 round trip fix to the dealer and yes no engine lights will show but if they pull the codes it will show up...been there done that.   -Kevin

Replying to: cmhbenz (Dec 27, 2007 6:32 am) You have to pull the access panel that surrounds the brake pedal arm.... this really is about a 15 minute fix.   -Kevin
