    R171 350SLK Heater/Aircon Fan Stopped

    Thats interesting. I looked under the bonnet earlier and there was some leaf mulch in the corners as we have a cherry tree in out driveway. Was the fix expensive??!!

    R171 350SLK Heater/Aircon Fan Stopped

    Evening All The fan / blower on my 05 SLK 350 has packed up. Checked the fuses. Not them. The heater/aircon is still feeding air throughout the vents albeit very slowly but there is no response from the fan dial to blow the air through. Anyone dealt with the same problem or know what next...

    SLK 350 Dipped Bulb Change

    Hiya Need to change the dipped beam bulb on my 05 SLK 350. The manual explains very clearly how to do it but i cant get my hands to the back of the unit as there is no room. There are a couple of visible bolts that look like they will release the entire headlamp unit. Is this what is...

    W163 ML270 CDi Cold Start Problem

    No Fault Registered Have just checked for faults on diagnostic. Nothing registered. Are we talking about replacing the fuel injector seals? I loosened the fuel pipes and the fuel is only dribbling out rather than spraying out as it should on turnover. Still thinking its a battery issue...

    W163 ML270 CDi Cold Start Problem

    Slight progerss Ok, the plot thickens. It won't start with easy start. The alternator is giving full charge. If i put a booster on the battery it will start but while the temperature is this cold the glow plug warning light stays on for a fair while after it fires. Even though the plugs are new.

    Horn on w163 '03 ML died

    The Horn on my ML has died. I've checked the fuses under the bonnet and in the footwell (there doesn't appear to be one for the horn in the footwell) and the relay. Anyone had this before or has any suggestions? Thanks

    Horn + Front/ Rear Cig Lighter Not Working

    Ok. I checked the fuses in the drivers footwell. The fuse for the sockets had gone so I've changed that. Alls well there. However there isn't another fuse for the horn there. Only under the bonnet. That fuse is fine. Could it be the horn relay??:confused:

    Horn + Front/ Rear Cig Lighter Not Working

    Hi All The horn and both front and rear cigarette lighters on my 2003 ML270Cdi (w163) have died. Checked the fuses, all ok. That's where my limited electrical knowledge ends i'm afraid. I don't smoke, but my daughter uses the rear socket for a dvd so shes not a happy camper. Strangely, the 12v...

    Can I test the EGR valve on 03 ML 270cdi?

    Ive noticed there is a smaller pipe below the MAF that seems to be leaking oil where it joins the pipe to the air filter box. The oil is all over a plug that goes into the smaller pipe if that makes any sense !!!!

    The Ongoing Loss of Revs and Kickdown Story

    My '03 ML Cdi has been playing up by not revving past 3000rpm and no kickdown etc (only intermittently). I have been in and out of the car quite a bit today, and it has without fail started to work properly about 1 or 2 mins after i start it. Once it clears and starts working, it does not fail...

    What do I try next?????

    Ok..... My '03 ML270Cdi has an intermittent fault which stops it from revving over 3000rpm and loses accceleration, kickdown etc. I have pulled the maf plug. Still faulting. I have also dropped the atf and replaced along with the spacer that seals the electronic cable into the gear box. Still...
