    Hello Folks, Driving with Cruise Control one day, it disengaged and all ABS, EPS, Braking lights turned on. I plugged in Xentry and it said the Passenger Rear Speed sensor had faulted. A test drive showed no reading from the affected sensor. Took the car to an Indy, they confirmed and replaced...

    W166 brake click noise

    Hi all, I thought I'd ask if someone can point me in the right direction. I've got a 2013 ml350 and recently noticed that when braking at a low...ish speed with the windows down, I can hear a click from the front drivers wheel. The car tracks straight, no suspension issues on bumps etc and...

    722.9 transmission query

    I've done some more driving and its looking like its temperature related. The only thing i can do is to keep tabs on it in warmer weather to see if the delay. This seems like one of those things that happens but only a few of us pay attention to.

    722.9 transmission query

    Did the trans service improve the shifts ? Yes, they have improved, I had started noticing that cold shifts in the recent weather were not smooth. the new oil has solved this. Apart from the cold shifts, there were no other issues present. Flappy paddle changes work well up/down. What did...

    722.9 transmission query

    On my 61' ML350 CDI, I've noticed the car will hold onto 6th gear and after a few seconds say up to 30secs, It will finally change into 7th. Once the shift into 7th is done, the transmission will shift through all 7 gears smoothly and timely. When this happens you can't manually change gear into...

    W164 ML350 CDI Oil Leak

    Thank you all for your responses. I've looked at the location of the seals mentioned above and they fit the pattern. I'll get the car looked into soon. The seals are cheap as expected. Does anyone know how much this will cost roughly?

    W164 ML350 CDI Oil Leak

    Hi All, I noticed some oil spots from the bottom of the car where the engine undertray ends. I had a look in the engine bay and noticed what looks like oil spray at the back of the turbo, on the firewall and on the EGR valve. The oil level is fractionally low on the dipstick but nothing...

    If i remember i had the codes read soon after a regen, so it might not have built up to a recognisable value.

    Update - it's been a while since I posted, however i had the oil flushed and changed including filters changed and the daily regens have stopped.

    W164 daily DPF Regen

    I had the codes read and nothing is showing up. Ash content was also zero and all the values/readings were in the normal ranges. However, I was told the car might have been remapped and the remap might be causing some errant values randomly triggering a regen. Being the 1st ML350 I've driven...

    W164 daily DPF Regen

    Hello, I thought I'd ask if this was normal. 2011 ML350 CDI with 79K on the clock seems to be regenerating the DPF on a daily basis. I have a 50 mile commute with a good 30miles on the motorway. The DPF regen will kick in at any time daily. I get the usual increased revs and really hot exhausts...
