Got lucky with this plate, and at a cost of around £600 it was too tempting. ‘EQS EV’ is also available for the same price.

That article must be a huge concern to owners. But I still don’t think it addresses the ‘engine’ cover deletion. The overheating issue, according to that article, is down to leaks in the cooling system. No amount of ‘ventilation’ by removing covers, or even the bonnet, is going to fix that...

Thanks for the reply grober. I think it looks a mess and unfinished without the cover and not what you’d expect from the brand. But, more importantly, I’d be interested to know if there have been any overheating issues on this model that fits with the narrative of why it’s now a deleted part...

Well after a week of ownership, I looked under the bonnet, and discovered a distinct lack of tidyness…no engine cover. Dealer has reported back by text saying it was removed on EQC range due to ‘not enough cooling’. Can anyone else concur?

Ok, I tried the new regulator on the old unit and got little to no air flow at the vents. Completely baffled as all the noise was there, as in the blower sounded like it was doing what it was supposed to at varying speeds, but no flow through the vents. So I went for plan 'b'. Installed the old...

Yes, I still have the old one. The fan vanes do look different, black versus white, and I assumed that this was simply an upgraded version given the age of the vehicle. In every other sense, they look identical*. The new fan operates, spins up and responds to the controls, low/high fan speed...

Thanks for the reply That would be a good start to find out and the honest answer is I don't know. However, the replacement blower I have from the States is for the same model, same year vehicle and which fits in exactly the same way (and it does fit perfectly) with the only difference being...

Weird one this but would I be correct in thinking that the blower unit, the one that provides air circulation to the interior of the car, has different part numbers dependent on whether it is for a rhd or a lhd vehicle? I brought the car with me from the UK to NZ and needed to replace a faulty...

Bobby Dazzler, thanks for posting this :thumb: As per your opening thread, I found this via a Google search and it's rather timely given that I need to get it done ASAP. Can I assume that it's simply a case of getting Westfalia to send out all the parts directly and miss out MB completely...

Easy....so far

To be fair, MB do seem to be picking up the tabs regarding the issue on ML's. I put a warning out some time back and haven't yet seen a post about MB refusing to replace..... 2007 ML63 Owners-check your doors - MBWorld.org Forums

Even with import tax (applicable to one of them) it's still worth the effort financially although I don't have any plans to sell. Quite a few are importing high end cars into Oz and NZ due to the weak pound. Yes, it's the DBS Volante - YouTube

Here you go.... And the ML is now here Location of E R MALMO :cool:

John, YHM ;)

Indeed I have John......Buying a 'one-way' ticket just makes me feel warm all over.... oh, and I won't be needing the winter tyres for at least....err, possibly forever :D
