#27 of 46 Odometer E320 by valrock Oct 29, 2008 (6:59 am)
When my odometer was suppose to change to 70,000, it changed to 170,000. I've been told this is the intrument cluster. Any thoughts? Estimates to repair?   Thanks Replies to this message: greasykid1 (Oct 29, 2008 11:00 am)

#29 of 46 E320 noise in steering column by gsdesigner Nov 09, 2008 (6:07 am)
Hello. My name is Greg and I purchased a 2001 E320 with 68000 miles in September. I have always wanted an MB and finally got one. Since purchasing it, I have released a brake light switch to get the BAS/ESP light to stop coming on and a slip ring in the steering column that was supposed to stop the noise coming from the steering column. I bought an extended warranty with the car, but I wondered if anyone has experienced the noisewhine in the steering column. It only happens after the car has warmed up and is only on the interior. Could it be a matter of something needing lubricant?? I have taken it to a local mechanic that was highly recommended, but I think I will be looking for someone else to service my MB.

Replying to: gsdesigner (Nov 09, 2008 6:07 am) DO NOT go to a regular mechanic to service your MB. You need someone who specializes in MB's.A good local MB specialty shop should be OK. If not start with MB dealer. Repair screwups on MB call be VERY expensive to correct. Strongly recommend that you join the MBCA--Mercedes Benz Owners Club. Only $45/yr. Good tech support available.

Replying to: greasykid1 (Nov 09, 2008 10:07 am) Thanks. I will check out the MBCA. I did go to a MB specialty shop, but I'm not satisfied. My next stop will be the local dealer.

#33 of 46 Mercedes-Benz E320 Cold Idle Issue by tom626 Dec 21, 2008 (10:14 pm)
Replying to: wAlly_IN_kOREa (Dec 05, 2008 6:12 am) My 1994 E320 runs well except for the cold idle issue. The car starts immediately anytime. However, when it's first in the morning, the engine would halt as you shift to drive and press the gas pedal. The idle speed is about 500 rpm and you need to press the pedal for a fast idle (over 1500 rmp) of one minute or so before shifting to drive. The car has a check engine light on. It has been like this for several months. I am not sure what is the problem and how to resolve it.

Replying to: sseell2 (Jan 22, 2008 8:13 pm) I would recommend you think long and hard since you're a Toyota/Honda guy. The Germans live in a different universe from the Japanese as far as cars go. I've had BMWs, VWs, Nissans and Toyotas and have a 2001 E320 Wagon 4matic; I would say that by a very long shot the Japanese cars have it on reliability over the German cars with the exception of VW - had only one water cooled model - Scirocco which as great and a pile of aircooled versions over the years. If you're getting it right, with right meaning under $4,000 or $5,000, you might be o.k. Expect 100-200 month average shop fees minimum. Every time mine goes in it's a grand which really sucks. The engineering on MBs is amazing but that doesn't pay the rent.
