Mine was changed 3yrs ago is that okay?

3 years ago?

Maybe. How many miles have they done and under what conditions?

 

[dokalj]

The car has done 20,000 miles since then and for the past 18months the car isn't driven during week days.

Take Olly (blackc55) up on his offer and go and see him and get his opinion, even if its just for piece of mind.

Olly i have never seen an ML filter but even if it is fiddly surely not £155 worth of fiddly?.

They are difficult and most need a modification fitted too. I think the filter is £75 ish.

I hate doing them 'cos normally they are covered in mud and road crap.

I will not hesitate to recommend Olly for an honest opinion and to do any work.

Is it normal for the ML270 CDI to be louder between 2000 - 3000 revs at higher speeds?

When I say loud, I mean on the motoway I have to turn the volume up on the CD.

The car seems to have an acceptable amount of noise up to 50mph then its a lot louder. Could this be because it is a diesel?

Holey Moley!

Holey Moley!

That is for a petrol car this car is a diesel and the filter is only about £20 and relativley easy to fit.

And the coolant will cost about £15 from mercs and as stated about 1/2 an hour to do

Holey Moley!

I was thinking the same thing

Got my petrol filters from the local factors iirc £25/30 each, expensive because the fuel pressure reg is built into the filter and its a single line system.

Diesel ones look on e bay much cheaper.

I thought Stealers were expensive but your quote is out of this world! Are you sure you didnt go to a Maybach dealer by mistake?
