    2003 E320 W211 CDI - lights all over the place

    Put the ESP and ZGW back to original ones, mileage still displaying wrong, still few faults, but now it will let me drive it - can select gears, will probably change the mileage using Autel to where it should be and will see if it will overwrite all the locations and update correctly. Will do...

    2003 E320 W211 CDI - lights all over the place

    It was only water leaking through the bulkhead, how long it was happening, is the question... I've bought another ECU kit, yet to start it, it would require only EIS, ESL and ECU to be swapped. I've swapped the front SAM as well due to bit of corrosion on the bottom, also ZGW module and ESP ECU...

    2003 E320 W211 CDI - lights all over the place

    Checked, badly corroded, but all lines still active. The comfort module got wet and had some crust at the bottom, this could be it, but it could also be the EIS module, so puzzled as to what to do. It's too large to leave it where it is as a garden ornament, so need to sort something out. Here's...

    2003 E320 W211 CDI - lights all over the place

    Another update: checked with Autel and signal from the remote is being recognised, but it won't open and close doors, etc. It receives signal from the remote as the status of 'radio reception of the vehicle key' is changing to 'active' when remote is pressed. Remote is working then, as both, the...

    2003 E320 W211 CDI - lights all over the place

    Bit of an update, as since unblocking the drain holes and drying the car I've connected it to diagnostics, erased the faults, all was good. After coming back to the car, the key won't turn in the ignition, no response to remote, etc. I have replaced batteries in remote, disconnected the EIS...

    2003 E320 W211 CDI - lights all over the place

    Hi all, got an E320 W211 that had a major water leak from under the hood (blocked drains) into the driver's footwell, also suffers from 'black death', that I will cure tomorrow, but for now trying to sort the lights out. When it's started, should the lights on the front switch on, even if the...

    Horribly neglected W163 ML270 CDI - few issues sorted, few remain

    Another update, orings in fuel lines replaced, also new fuel filter - starts first time every time no problem now. Few niggly bits left to do, injector number four has 'black death' syndrome, but got myself a reaming tool, washers from Honda, new bolts and ceramic grease and will attack it soon...

    Horribly neglected W163 ML270 CDI - few issues sorted, few remain

    Captain's log: the leak turned out to be washer fluid leak, after draining the reservoir the leak stopped. Changed oil with oil flush, tappets are a lot quieter now, engine runs a lot nicer. Oil and air filter filthy as hell, oil was nasty too, upon arrival (came in dead) there was around 7...

    Horribly neglected W163 ML270 CDI - few issues sorted, few remain

    Checked the leak and it seems more like the washer bottle leaking rather than coolant, you can see drops of liquid on the bottom of ABS pump, it's sour to the taste and if it would be coolant it'd be sweet, so I'd say it's the washer bottle. Pity I filled it up too, also pity that both - the...

    Horribly neglected W163 ML270 CDI - few issues sorted, few remain

    Hi peeps! I've acquired a 2002 W163 ML270 CDI - car that was a non-starter, dead on arrival. Found few problems so far - some might help someone, hence the thread, will add a question at the end of the topic. It turned out to be a dead battery and someone put the 100A block fuse on positive...
