#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

Replying to: kcml320 (Aug 22, 2006 10:52 am) Go to : www.mercedesshop.com   Struts all the way around shipped to your door will be about $400; any good idenpendent shop should be able to install for $80 an anxle and then ake to the dealer for an aligment for about the $230; no other shop will have the right tools to due a correct alignment.   -Kevin
#8100 of 8166 Re: My rear tires are wearing off faster then my front. [sgt_k1] by kficeman1 Jan 18, 2008 (9:47 pm)
Replying to: sgt_k1 (Mar 21, 2006 4:54 am) You received crappy advice, all four wheels are can be adjusted. You have to take the ML to a dealer for an aligment, most is not all indy shops do not have the proper tools or knowlege for this service.   -Kevin
#8101 of 8166 Re: Are SQUEAKY BRAKES normal for ML500? [ssarull] by kficeman1 Jan 18, 2008 (9:55 pm)
Replying to: ssarull (Jan 16, 2006 1:24 pm) When installing new breaks the dealers are suppose to use an anti-squeal kit which is a packet of "molly-lube" lubricant apply to the various components associated with the install. Ask the dealer if this was done and if the answer is yes, ask them where is the part listing on the invoice if it is not there, then let them do it again.   -Kevin

Replying to: drjohn3 (Dec 16, 2000 9:58 am) This is a recall item, have the dealer check your VIN# and see if the service was performed.   -Kevin
