#29 of 102 winter wiper blades by subden Feb 12, 2007 (11:26 am)
Anyone find a winter wiper blade for 2007? Dealer says they don't have one and Trico doesn't list one in their catalog.
#30 of 102 weight distribution / equalizing hitch by bubbadog Feb 19, 2007 (3:13 am)
Can someone look in their owner manual to see if there is any reference to a weight distribution hitch (WDH) / equalizing? I have a 4,000# Argosy 20’ trailer I want to tow that has a hitch weight of 400-425 #. The dealers cannot answer my question if a WDH can be used on a MB 320 CDI.

Replying to: bubbadog (Feb 19, 2007 3:13 am) From page 343 of the Owner's Manual, the maximum tongue weight is 496 lbs. This for the factory installed receiver. Maximum gross trailer weight is 4,982 lbs. There is no mention of a WDH.
#32 of 102 320ML CDI - Gas by dyoung46 Mar 01, 2007 (5:22 am)
Live in Hi Desert where temps drop to low teens & single digits, read recently that low sulfur diesel fuel can "gel" at low temps, wondering if a) anyone has experienced something like this b) availability of this low sulfur diesel fuel, Plenty of Chevron stations here, do they carry it?? thanks to all dyoung46 Replies to this message: gagrice (Mar 01, 2007 6:03 am) mschafer (Mar 03, 2007 11:33 am)

Replying to: dyoung46 (Mar 01, 2007 5:22 am) ULSD is number 2 diesel. It is good down to about zero. Most cold areas blend in number 1 diesel (kerosene) when it is very cold to prevent gelling. 100% Biodiesel can gel at a much higher temp. It depends on the source. I would mix it with number 2 diesel anytime you are in the freezing range. Most all stations are required to sell ULSD or post if they do not have it. To be sure you can use additives that prevent gelling.   PS Welcome to the Forum Replies to this message: mschafer (Mar 03, 2007 11:33 am)
#34 of 102 Sulfur smell by cneff Mar 01, 2007 (5:27 pm)
Just picked up an 07 ML320CDI and noticed an occasional sulfer smell and it stung my eyes....this happened at traffic lights and while idling in my driveway. Not brutal but enough to notice. What is odd is that the demo I drove showed no signs of this - I even stood behind it while it was running just to make sure. Mine is brand new, 42 miles on it. MB Customer service said that should not be, as the person I spoke to had the same model, maybe the dealer made an error and filled the tank with the wrong type of diesel.   Anyway...have any of you noticed this with the new CDIs? Does it improve over time?   I'm going to service just to be sure. Otherwise I am impressed with the drive ability of these Diesels. Over 20mpg on the computer and it is not nearly broken in yet.   Thanks in advance Replies to this message: subden (Mar 02, 2007 10:49 pm) mschafer (Mar 03, 2007 11:37 am)

Replying to: cneff (Mar 01, 2007 5:27 pm) I have about 1000 miles on mine and have never even had a whiff of diesel fumes even when idling for long periods at cold temps (I live in Boulder, CO).I suspect that you may have a fuel issue.   So far, like you, I'm impressed with the driveability, particulary at altitude.

Replying to: gagrice (Mar 01, 2007 6:03 am) You are not allowed any additives with the 2007+ MB diesels.

Replying to: cneff (Mar 01, 2007 5:27 pm) 4000+ miles on mine and no sulfur smell on mine either. Sounds like your dealer may have done your initial fill with LSD and not ULSD.   Best get that on record with MBUSA, as they very specifically state that the use of non-ULSD will result in no warranty coverage. Too much sulfur hurts the particle filter, and that puppy is about $3,000.
