    W164 ML350 cdi 2010 brake booster hose plastic clip

    Had another look at it today with the intention of using a cable tie.... It appears that the crappy plastic clips are more to do with 'removing' the hose than 'holding it in place'... It seems that the fitting is on securely without any help from the clips... It's only after the clips are...

    W164 ML350 cdi 2010 brake booster hose plastic clip

    Apologies if this has been answered somewhere else.... Whilst replacing my glow plug control module, I had to temporarily remove the brake booster hose. Whilst pressing the two plastic bits that hold the hose in place, one of the clips broke. Hoping there is a replacement part (I don't mean...

    Air filter indicator knob broken/jammed

    Thanks for the heads up... although I forgot to mention... it's never shown red... Prior to changing the filter the indicator was on white (filter was over 12 months old and in need of changing).... yet still the indicator was all white... Nevertheless the pliers are back in the drawer, and will...

    Air filter indicator knob broken/jammed

    Have just changed the fuel and air filters, and need to know if my air filter indicator knob is broken or just jammed. I tried to turn the knob to 'reset' it but it's jammed/stuck in position showing all white on the dial. Is there a secret to making this knob turn. I tried using pliers padded...

    ML270 CDI replace whole injector or just the nozzle

    Many thanks for the heads up. I've (reluctantly) booked the car into the local dealer to have all 5 injector seals replaced. I would assume that they will make sure the old injectors and new seals are 'seated' properly. The only reason I've gone with the local dealer is that my local indy (he...

    ML270 CDI replace whole injector or just the nozzle

    Aus 2002 ML270 147,000 km. Number 2 injector is leaking. Small amount of black carbon has appeared. Time for new injector seals. My dealer tells me that new injectors should be installed at around 120,000 km. ($550 aud ea). My dealer also tells me that the injectors cannot be 'serviced' and must...

    2002, ML270, (Aus). 140K km's

    Thanks for the info Lynall. Today I ordered a new hose from local dealer... $174 AUD. Hopefully that will help stem the black smoke. The EGR valve appears to be held in place by three torx bolts..? I was thinking I might have a go at cleaning the EGR valve while I'm in the process of fitting the...

    2002, ML270, (Aus). 140K km's

    Out on the highway today I noticed an abundance of black smoke and a distinct lack of power. I was thinking that the car had not been out of town for a while, and that the trip might blow some of the copwebs out... Speed on the highway was normal... Journey took about 3 hours (round trip) and...

    ML270 W163 2002 Brake fluid leaking under dash

    Fuchs 3353 My local supplier of Fuchs (country NSW) will supply 20 litre containers. (around $250) If you wish to completely drain your transmission you will need to do a 'flush' which takes about 20 litres. My local repair shop has a transfusion machine that completely drains the old fluid and...

    ML270 W163 2002 Brake fluid leaking under dash

    Yesterday I removed the 'D' shaped panels either side of the steering wheel and managed to gain access to the area above the foot operated park brake. I found a 'black box' (A030 545 26 32) wet with brake fluid, and the two plugs that attach to the 'black box' were wet with brake fluid. I...

    Mystery stain on carpet

    Yes, if you are referring to the plug/outlet on the transmission, this was replaced about two years ago, along with a new 'electrics kit' (conductor plate inside the transmission). Coolant leak perhaps.... coolant has recently been replaced. Will investigate further.

    ML270 W163 2002 Brake fluid leaking under dash

    Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I think it's brake fluid leaking from somewhere above, but I can't (as yet) find the source. Brake fluid level seems ok in the reservoir. Could it be something to do with the air conditioner.? Any advice... I may have to remove the dash front to...

    Mystery stain on carpet

    Pulled the cover to have a better look and found some 'oil' like substance on one of the looms... looks like brake fluid, but I can't figure out how it would come to be there.... Brake fluid level in the reservoir looks good. I think I may have to remove the front of the dash to have a better...
