#24 of 73 430 ML Needs new battery - Help please :) by funcar Mar 07, 2005 (7:17 pm)
Hello - My ML430 needs a new battery - it's about 4 years old. Anyone with experience of getting the battery changed other than at the dealer? About how much is the battery? Where did you go? Any suggestion is appreciated!

I tried in a number of places including Pepboys, Sears, Autozone, Strauss, etc, etc. No one carries the battery for the ML. Strauss tried to sell me a battery rated for less amps telling me that it will be fine. Anyway I got it from the dealer for about $120 or so. Replies to this message: funcar (Mar 10, 2005 11:28 am)

Advice needed: Dealer service now reommending a lot of items: Flushes $180, Differential $225, Brakes $400, BAS middle sensor replace $400. Is this normal wear and tear, or do I need to shop for service? Car has had all the routine service appointments. Replies to this message: bikerider58 (Mar 21, 2005 10:34 pm)

Don't need to touch the Tranny, Diff untill 100K miles according to MB. I didn't feel comfortable driving mine for that long and would ask my service rep about it. He advised against opening up the sealed tranny unit untill the scheduled 100K service. Regarding the Brakes and BAS sensor fix only if the warning light has come on inside.

Replying to: jhd11 (Mar 14, 2005 1:18 pm) A couple weeks ago I flushed/changed the brake fluid using a vacuum bleeder. I didn't think the fluid looked bad, but once in the waste bucket it was cloudy and brown. If you have changed brakes in a car you can DIY. I never let the fluid level get below the minimum mark while bleeding the system from nearest to farest wheel.
#31 of 73 DIY instructions to change fuel filter by bikerider58 Mar 21, 2005 (10:39 pm)
I have a 2000 ML320 so I need to add the new hoses as well. Do I really need the special tool to remove the fuel lines from the pump?   Can I access the hatch without removing the rear seat?   I had heard this was about a $300 job, but got a $1300 price from my dealer. Not sure if this was to replace the tank, pump, and filter; but sure seems high enough for it.
#32 of 73 ML320 battery by bherr Mar 26, 2005 (11:33 am)
I removed the original battery. replacing it with a n after market battery. Now the car turns over fine. However, it will not start. Has anyone reset the ETS? What is the process, and is it doable by a non mechanic? Replies to this message: whoiam (Nov 22, 2006 2:40 pm) steve_ (Nov 22, 2006 5:37 pm)

What after market battery did you buy? How much did you pay? I did a lot of research and couldn't find an after market battery with the same amp ratings. I ended up buying from the dealer. If your car is not starting it is because you have a battery wihtout sufficient juice. Resting ETS has got nothing to do with your car not starting. I suggest return the battery and get one from the dealer for about 110 USD or so.   Reseting the ETS is very straight forward. The instructions are in the manual. I did it to turn of the ETS light.
