This is for anyone who may have a fuel guage issue. I own C230K and ML 320, both 2002 models. This happened to me in both of them. The problem goes like this. You fill up gas, topped off, and then you notice that shortly after filling up, the guage is showing about a 1/4 less than what should be. I asked my favorite shop (not an MB dealer, since we are out of warranty already) for this fix, he said it could cost up to $600 to get this fixed. I did not fix it right away since I was still getting accurate data on fuel consumption from the computer display, range, mpg, etc... Well, the problem took care of itself; and the guage operated normally after that. It took about 5 fill ups in the ML to get to normal, and about 12-15 fill ups on the C230K. If anyone has the same issue please post and share with all. Thanks.

Replying to: phxmax (Jan 01, 2009 9:11 pm) incorrect SCN (software calibration number) which dealt with incorrect fuel gauge readings as well as several other issues. Neither of your model years were listed on that July 2008 recall from the summary that I saw. It may be worthwhile to ask your mechanic whether your models could be suffering from this also, although not covered for free under the July 2008 recall. |

I have 98 ML320 with 219,000 miles. The truck has been great. Other than regular maintenance and normal wear and tear we haven't had any problems with the vehicle. I'd like to make sure it stays that way. Are there any replacements/service we should have done? We have some minor knocking which my mechanic tells me is not uncommon or unexpected on a vehicle of this age. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to get to AT LEAST 400K miles. Thanks |

Replying to: rososo (Jun 02, 2009 6:13 pm) The ML problem fixed itself after a few months; this is a little weird, but saved the few hundered $ my mechanics said it may cost. My ML has not had the issue again. My C Class has the same problem re-appearing just a few days ago, I am monitoring and no plan to fix; I will keep you posted. Phxmax. |

After 47 1/2 months and 46,998 miles, I said farewell to my 06 ML500 and traded it for an 09 BMW X5 diesel.

I tried starting my ML 320 Friday and everything was fine until my right hand hit the turn signal and high beam and the entire power died. There are no lights, no automatic door locks. Nothing. I took a "power tester" thing to see if power was coming from the battery and it was. I opened the fuse panel inside the engine and found the power cable coming from the battery and there was power coming into there but I don't know what else to check. Any ideas? I just replaced my battery about a month ago. |
