#34 of 73 Brake Pads replacement by bon_bon May 23, 2005 (11:43 am)
We have a 2002 ML 500. The dealear is asking for $300 to replace the front brake pads. Is this normal ? Is there a cheaper way to replace the brake pads ? Any suggestions would be welcome.   Thanks,   Bon Bon Replies to this message: danad (Jul 05, 2005 5:32 pm)

Replying to: smcrae (Feb 10, 2005 2:00 pm) You turn the wheel all the way to the left and then all the way to the right and repeat it one time and it will reset the check engine light. Replies to this message: jkalinowski (Aug 26, 2007 8:22 am)

Replying to: bon_bon (May 23, 2005 11:43 am) That's about right. They are also going to tell you that you have the replace the rotors which seem to need to be replaced every time you change the brakes on the Mercedes. One person did rotate them for me, but for the most part, all of it needs to be replaced. By the way, look forward to replacing the rear brakes soon as well.

Replying to: mercara (Mar 26, 2005 4:29 pm) When I had to replace my battery, the dealer was the only place that could replace it; however, if you place a road service call instead of a inside the dealer service call, it is cheaper and they will replace it as a part of roadside warranty for as long as you own the car for about $120, and you don't have to do it yourself.
#38 of 73 How do I get rid of the wrench symbol...? by shmoopy1 Jul 13, 2005 (8:44 am)
I have a 2000 ML320. How can I get rid of the wrench symbol that appears on the odometer? I didn't take it to a MB dealer so although they serviced it, they didn't get rid of the blinking wrench that appears when you start the engine. Replies to this message: securityguy (Jan 08, 2006 7:42 pm)
#39 of 73 How do I change the battery in a ML 320 2001? by gretza Sep 06, 2005 (11:54 am)
I have a 2001 ML 320 with the original battery. Since it has five hears on it, I decided to electively change it. I purchased a new battery at the MB dealership for $105.00 and thought I would put it in myself. How do I release the battery box clamps to mobilize the battery. Getting the cables off is easy, but I am not sure about the "clamping" system that holds the battery secure. Do any of you use a jumper wire to keep from having to re-program the radio or anything? Is it really that necessary? Replies to this message: puggle (Sep 13, 2005 11:22 am) alexcolumbusoh (Oct 17, 2005 1:22 pm)

Replying to: gretza (Sep 06, 2005 11:54 am) call mb roadside the techs carry batteries with them in the truck and will only charge you dealer cost.in the future.. you can still call the tech at 18002220100 and ask for the tech to install it they should not charge for the service. also you will need your radio code to have tech program it in. in the future you can call mbusa roadside for 3 free services battery jump , flat tire change and fuel if you run out. this is free asl long as you own your benz.

Replying to: puggle (Sep 13, 2005 11:22 am) you meant ML owner get those free roadside services ( battery jump, flat tire change, and fuel ) for a total of three times while you own the ML ?   If you sell it to somebody then the buyer will not inherit this free service three more times ?   other than having the tech to reset the radio / CD code etc., do you see any problem if I choose to buy a third party non-MB battery that is stronger with higher cold crank / warm cranking power, and have non-MB technician install it for me ?   anything to tell those non-MB technician to look out for when they remove the old battery and install the new battery , so I don't lose whatever data / settings ?   thanks
#42 of 73 Tail Light Replacement by jreilly Nov 16, 2005 (7:08 pm)
OK I wasn't paying attention......as I was leaving work today I backed my '02 ML-500 right into the rear bumper of a raised F250 crew cap. Ouch, but the only damage to my car was a broken rear right tail light. I've aleady ordered a new one from www.partstrain.com, but can anyone shed some light on how to remove the old one. When you open the rear hatch there are two plastic screws which I took off, but the tail light doesn't budge. What else is holding it on ? Do you have to remove the rear bumber skin? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. \ Thanks, Joe
#43 of 73 Brakes and Rotors by johnp5 Dec 06, 2005 (5:09 pm)
This is my first time on this site. Hopefully, someone out there can help me. I have a 2004 ML500 with 18,000 miles and Mercedes-Benz Manhattan is stating that I must replace the brake pads and rotors for $1,300.00. It seems rather early in the life of the vehicle to be performining such an extensive repair. Any thoughts? Thanks.
