    W163 fuel lines

    Replaced the fuel lines a couple of days ago and have'n't been able to start the engine since. Drained the battery (twice) trying to start the engine, no air bubbles in new lines, but I'm panicking now that I may have put the fuel lines in the wrong ports of the HP pump. Can someone confirm...

    anyone tackled rusty arches themselves?

    Heating Controls Issue

    I think it's item 53 on this diagram... Heater case with blower for Mercedes-Benz ML 270 CDI parts catalog Not removed it myself, but reading the above repair link, I'd guess it's above the steering column on a RHD. I'd remove the lower trim on RH side of center console to check if it's there.

    Blower Fan Drone on Merc ML270 (W163)

    Next time it's droning, lift bonnet and remove fuse box lid to check if the noise is coming from under the rear of the housing near the bulkhead. If it is, it's the ECU cooling fan. A bit awkward to remove but not out of the realms of an average car DIY'er. I think it draws air from the cabin...
