w163

I've been scouring the internet for a good couple of weeks to find the answer to this. From what I can deduce, no aftermarket solution can read the codes from all modules on my Truck. Does anyone have any positive information with respect to running full diagnostics on this model (and not the...

Hi All, first post in a while. My 2004 ML270 has decided to lose the ability (most of the time) to go beyond 2500rpm and that causes a loss of power, especially when trying to overtake. I think I already know the answer to my question here, but thought I'd ask anyway. I have it booked in to...

Hi, this is my first post here so thanks in advance. I have issues with the COMAND 2.0 fitted to my ML270 W163. I have read on here how to access the diagnostic menus and have found that I connect from 3 - 5 SATS but SPEED is 0. I purchased an original disc as I thought it may have...

Help please!! I have owned the vehicle for just over a year was really enjoying it until about 2 months ago. The current issue is that the vehicle will not start if left overnight. It will crank and on the first time fire into life for approximately 4-5 seconds then dies and refuses to...

Hello to all, Recently bought a 2003 ML270, and still trying to work out a few of the controls, as the user manual is a bit vague. Firstly on the front wipers. Right column stalk has 3 positions, one up for slow wipe, two up for fast wipe, and one down for a 4 second intermittent wipe. Now I...

hi there, gradually getting there with my ml today after getting rather annoyed with it I decided to take the manifold off and check the flaps and motor Long and short of it is that I ended up taking the flaps out completely and would like to know if anyone has done the swirl flap mod...

I don't think we're having a good run of luck with the ML270 this week. :rolleyes: Now we have grinding/moaning/mild howling noises coming from somewhere up front. It's road speed related, not engine speed related. Location is very hard to pick, but most likely front drive. It sounds a...

I have a 2005 ML270CDI with 170,000kms on the clock. Never had a problem until recently when it started to toggle in and out of Limp Mode. We use an ELM327 OBDII scanner with EasyOBD USB software. When I start the engine, all OBD values (e.g. RPM, coolant temp, intake temp, manifold...

For Sale is my Mercedes ML320 Petrol, it is a late 1999 and will be back on a V reg once the private plate comes off any day now. I bought it a few weeks ago for the missus but she does not like it so it is back up For Sale. It is green/black in colour with full grey leather interior...

Hi, My Ml 270 has developed a problem causing it to not start when hot or warm. The engine turns over but will not fire, like it's not getting fuel. Local garage has scanned the vehicle and found no faults which would cause the problem. Has anyone had this problem before? If so what...

Hi, I am looking for some seats for a Series 1 land rover project and W163 3rd row seats are nice and thin on the base and flat bottomed. Does anyone have a spare one or two? Cheers Toby

Hi all I know that my inlet manifold/swirl flaps are very probably worn out - poor performance, oil down side of engine block etc. Not knowing a vast amount about the inlet manifold, if I do the EGR blocking off and electrical modification, would it be necessary for me to also replace the...

Hi all Recently noticed that the engine dipstick on my ML270 is the wrong one! It doesn't fit the pipe at the top and the reading it gives doesn't tally with the dashboard oil level reading. So I can only assume that a garage lost it in the past and put one in off another vehicle... I can't...

Hi all I'm looking to replace the stonechipped bonnet on my ML270. Does anyone know if the bonnet that was used on the AMG and special edition versions fits? It had two ridges running up it but the front end looks the same, shape wise, as the standard bonnet. If I can track one down in silver...

Hi everyone! My key fob doesn't lock or unlock any of the doors on my 98 ML320. It has never worked since I've had it. I recently purchased a new key fob so I could go through the programming sequence in case my current one was completely dead. (Ive already tried new battery's and...

Good evening to all, 2003 ML270 (W163), the bulb has blown on the ashtray illumination. Have scoured various forums on this, but cannot find a definite answer on how to replace. There are several horror stories on removing the entire centre console in order to remove the complete ashtray...
