You'll have a real mess if you drop it from the bottom of the engine. Get a vacuum extractor (It is what MB recommends and uses). You'll never look back. The best I've found is here:

FM Frequencies are certainly not of any concern with the ML's built in Sirius radio.

Loud Whining Sound IN ML by allipin539

Hi Everyone,
I have a 2001 ML 320 with just about 100,000 miles on it. I never had a problem starting it ultil I brought it in for body work and new brakes. I live On Long Island in NY and before I brought it in we didn't have too much cold weather. Since I have picked my car up the temperature has dropped dramaticlly and now when I start it up cold, I get that very loud whining sound. Hoever when I turn the car off and run an errand or something if the engine is still warm I dont get that whining sound. I brought it back to the repair shop to ask them about it. Since this was not a problem before the car went in but since the engine was warm from the drive over it didn't make that sound. Does anyone have any ideas? I thought I'd tap the knowladge of as many folks as possible before bringing it somewhere and being raked over the coals. I'm not sure if it could be the power steering pump because the power steering is never difficult even with start up. because of the brake work I'm wondering if anything has to do with the abs system only because the noise is similar to what i heard on my Range Rover when the ABS system started to go. I sure hope its not that but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Also this whining noise goes away after the car is in motion and warmed up.
 
Any thoughts.

I agree - FM freuqencies shouldn't have anything to do with my reception should it? I assume pfenton thought I had an after market radio? Considering it's internal, I'm going to disregard the whole FM line of thought.
 
The strange part is that the reception is markedly better in the afternoon / evening on the same stretch of road than it is in the morning... I'm wondering if there's some strange atmospheric thing gonig on here. In any case, the idea of extending my subscription past the six month trial seems remote if the radio is constantly being interupted during my morning commute.
 
I'm curious - anyone have reception problems with their satelite radio in a new M class? If so, how does it compare to any other car that you have with sat radio?
 
Thanks!

I have ML350, 06MY also. I was getting engine hesitation, surging of the engine when I brake, longer idle times when shifting. After three valves replacement, they finally replaced the entire transmission last week, I had less then 12,000 miles on the vehicle.

I had the same issue, they have recall on it. Have your dealer check it. They replaced the motor and latch on the car. Had to take it in twice for them to find the recall and the issue.

I have a 2001 ML320 and have the ESP/BAS light come on and was repaired by MB replacing something call the lateral acceleration sensor and they fixed it at a discount because it was out of warranty but with only 15,000 miles for $300 but it would of been more than $500.
