#83 of 92 Recall on 2007 MB CDIs by wopel Jan 20, 2008 (9:59 am)
What does anyone know of the recall of the 2007 CDIs? It's a crankshaft sensor problem. Replies to this message: cneff (Jan 26, 2008 8:52 am)

Replying to: wopel (Jan 20, 2008 9:59 am) have not heard of the recall but my 07 CDI up and died while my Wife was driving it. Crankshaft sensor went bad. If it happens to you let it sit for 20 mins and then start it up to just get it off the road if you find yourself stuck.   Other then that car has been good.
#85 of 92 CDI recall by wopel Jan 26, 2008 (2:01 pm)
Thanks for the heads-up. I am traveling, and called my home dealer who had heard nothing. I had read the info in autonews.com and asked him to read it. He did, and then did a search on my vin no. and said my car was not involved. I can't find anything about the recall elsewhere. I checked the gov. website and MB website. Not sure what to think...

Replying to: wopel (Jan 26, 2008 2:01 pm) well it seems there is a recall. Heard about it yesterday and just got the letter today.   Funny thing is I already had the sensor fail and replaced months ago, yesterday during service, they replaced it again....I guess just to be sure.   From the letter it does not specify if it is just a Diesel issue, but it seems to effect some ML, GL, R and E-class models, years 2006 to 2008.   Anyway - if you got the letter then your vehicle could be affected....go in.

Replying to: cneff (Feb 11, 2008 7:00 pm) I called my dealer when I read about the recall. He ran my vin no. through and said my car was not involved. He also knew nothing about the recall. As luck would have it, I'm traveling, so will deal with it when I get home...
#88 of 92 Running boards for ML by chint Feb 21, 2008 (7:09 pm)
I recently traded my R for a new ML320 CDI . I find it little difficult getting in and out of ML without side steps or running boards as ML has little higher ground clearence than the R.   The cost for the delaer installed option when purchasing was 510 ( Free installation) Unfortunately the dealer had the part on order and I did'nt want to wait   But now when I enquired my local dealer about the running boards he says the price is 940 + installation   Any recomendations on where to get the running board ( the new aluminium ones with black spots)
#89 of 92 320cdi off road by chomondely Mar 20, 2008 (9:46 am)
I am considering one with the premium 3 package with the air suspension. Any one used it off road? Reliabilty?   I own an LR3 and I am trying to get better mileage while preserving my ability to leave paved roads. What mileage? Thanks for your thoughts.

#91 of 92 Considering an 07 R 320 CDI any thoughts? by watkinst Nov 24, 2008 (11:59 am)
Wife and I currently have 3 cars and I'm trying to get it down to two:-)   Two of our 3 cars fit our uses well but I'd like one that covers it as a whole. Thinking the R 320 CDI might just do it. But have never owned a MB - the reliability thing is my major hang up. And Concern   Diesel I'm familiar with - my first car was diesel - great car took more abuse than any car should ever endur but thats what happens when a 16yr old had his first car. It wasn't a MB.   Anyway the milege the CDI returns - the road trip comfort big Plus - and the hauling/ light trailering ability is ideal along with the AWD.   It's not MB like for owners to do their own basic maint - but I like to know enough about my cars to know when I'm getting the BS line from the shop or can fix it enough to make it home on a road trip. Having lots of experience with Diesels I'd probably want to know how to replace the fuel filter and have an extra on board for long road trips.   Anyway very good thread - any additional comments on reliability with the 07's - 7spd transmission - AWD system? - Air suspension system seems like a great idea though not a must have if they are known for complicated issues etc. Thoughts?   I like to keep my cars a long time so cars that have low numbers of odd quality issues are my top interest. Hence my 94 Land Cruiser and my 2000 Subaru which I hope to replace with a single vehicle Replies to this message: wopel (Nov 24, 2008 5:18 pm)

Replying to: watkinst (Nov 24, 2008 11:59 am) I have an '07 R 320 CDI - it's a great driving car. The fuel mileage is exceptional for a vehicle its' size. The seats are big and comfortable. The rear doors are enormous - so you must park so that you can actually open them wide to appreciate the space. I had it in for a sensor(?) replacement, and a tweaking on the transmission recently. MB navigation is a dinosaur, but it gets you where you're going. We travel a lot and had to get a roof cargo box for it, but it does little to diminish the fuel mileage. It's easy, very easy to get in and out of the car.
