320 CDI oil changes by jph3006
Jan 19, 2008 (4:47 am)
Reply
I am beginning to do the research on this interesting vehicle/V-6 diesel engine.
 
1) Does this super high pressure fuel system require special treatment oil changes? Are fuel filters (I know oil filters are changed) changed when the oil is changed? What are owners paying for oil changes at the MB dealers?
2) What special maintenance for the diesel over the 3.5L gas engine is required up to 100,000 miles?
 
Thanks for any help, Jay

What does anyone know of the recall of the 2007 CDIs? It's a crankshaft sensor problem.

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.

CDI recall by wopel

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...

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.

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...

Running boards for ML by chint
Feb 21, 2008 (6:09 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)

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.
