Re: [MBZ] I'm thinking about this. CARFAX???
That West Trashley ML looks pretty beat, seller couldn't even be bothered to vacuum out the leaves and dirt. "AC just needs a charge", isn't that a "Don't walk, run" flag?

Re: [MBZ] I'm thinking about this. CARFAX???
Yeah look at that link I sent, it had the cap (along with the dip wire and wire plug deal) which appeared to be just a plastic tube cork without a locking thing. This ML actually has one there now, cork with no locking thingie. I ordered stuff from Advance Auto the other day, with the 25% off coupon and free shipping it was a pretty good deal.

The 722.6 dipstick tool measures the fluid level from the bottom of the pan, instead of from the top of the tube like a normal dipstick. If you don't want to wait for one from Amazon, you can go down to West Marine and buy a chunk of 1x19 stainless rigging wire, just needs to be long enough to reach the bottom of the pan.

The valve body comes out easily, and is required when replacing the conductor plate. Don't be afraid of doing this, if it makes things easier. The springs only need replacing on the older units.

Re: [MBZ] I'm thinking about this. CARFAX???
Gerry's got a good point, I think there were two relatively simple / cheap fixes, the conductor plate and some other connection on the trans where the o-ring fails and allows ATF to wick up into the wiring bundle and cause havoc. It has also been mentioned that a weak battery will cause a low voltage condition which manifested as transmission problems, so monitoring the electrical system / measuring the system voltage when cold and comparing to the "hot enough that the tranny dies" may be worth keeping in mind. - Max Charleston SC On Fri, Aug 24, 2018 at 5:52 AM archer75--- via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I seem to remember someone saying that most problems with ??

The 722.6 was designed to use very good fluid, and to last a lifetime, or at least the life of the warranty, without changing or checking the fluid. Therefore the "dipstick tube" has a cap on it, not a dipstick in it. At least during the warranty period, dirt introduced while checking the fluid was deemed more damaging than any fluid level variations not associated with huge puddles in the garage, so seal the cap and don't let anybody open it. Anyway, it would be good to know that he put the right stuff in it and the right amount of it before going forward with transmission replacement. I doubt that even DexIII would make it work that badly in the short term, but if it's overfilled and foaming... Does Rich have the fluid level measuring tool and a replacement lock pin for the cap? When I bought my first 722.6, I read something about spring failures, and bought an upgrade spring or two to put in the valve body. The guy who replaced my conductor plate put my super upgrade parts in too, but he thought the idea was totally silly.

Re: [MBZ] I'm thinking about this. CARFAX???
Well I picked this thing up today. The guy said he was trying to buy it off the owners who had listed it on CL and he was dickering with them then they traded it in to the BMW dealer who auctioned it off and CoPart bought it. He tracked it down and bought it off them. I have the titles do all that’s good. The guy was thinking he might get lucky tonight and thanked me for it, we closed at $1200. Now I need to think about why this tranny might work OK cold but then stops working when it gets hot, then has no pressure and car won’t go. I’m not sure why a pump would go bad like that, I’m wondering if it’s seals or something like that. I guess that would still require dropping the tranny. --R Sent from iPhone > On Aug 22, 2018, at 9:07 PM, G Mann via Mercedes > wrote: > > Excellent bargain point !

Re: [MBZ] I'm thinking about this. CARFAX???
I think the owner could sell it at CoPart, but I can't imagine why. You'd know more about SC tax and license fees than I would. That auction info site that claimed to have the $825 bid price for CoPart said that the high bidder was from SC. In Michigan, the $369 in CoPart fees covers the title fee, plus there's a $39 bidding fee making an $800 car into a $1208 car. Unless he bid it through a dealer instead of on his own account, then the CoPart fees would be $125 less but he'd be paying fees to the dealer too. With a clean title I'd just assumed he bought it as an individual like I would have.

Re: [MBZ] I'm thinking about this. CARFAX???
The kid called me wondering if I was coming by to get it. He had not read my email and got kinda pissy when I told him I had found the $825 CoPart sale and it had gone to auction from a BMW dealership then looked like CoPart had picked it up. He said for sure he had bought it from the original owner who sold it through CoPart and with fees and such it was over $1800. I told him what I had found did not track with what he had told me ( nice way of saying you’re a liar) and he got all defensive. He was not very nice. He can simmer on it.

Re: [MBZ] I'm thinking about this. CARFAX???
$825 at CoPart is $825+408+tax, $125 less if you're a dealer. It was sold on approval, so the seller could come back with "I'll let you have it for $900", or the seller could just accept the $825. If I had a 20 year old ML with 300k, nonoriginal engine, and driveability issues, I'd jump on the $825 in a wholesale world and get it off my inventory. In a retail world, you're dealing with a guy who's got $1250, taxes, a conductor plate, fluid (hopefully the right fluid), diagnosis charges, and a bunch of wasted time in it and really doesn't want to lose money just because he bet he could fix it easily and lost.

Re: [MBZ] I'm thinking about this. CARFAX???
I looked at this ML. It is really nice, extremely clean for a 20yo car, he bought it of the original owner 3 months ago knowing the tranny was bad but figured it was an easy fix. Has full service records, the PO did all the proper maintenance etc. AC was BLOWING ICE COLD, seemed the fan was growling though and not blowing too hard, bearings dry maybe? The PO put a new engine in it about 100kmi ago but he says the tranny loses pressure when it gets hot, it works fine at first but then nothing. Shop put their computer on it and it said no pressure so they think the pump is bad. I'm wondering if it could just be seals, but I guess the tranny would still need to come out to replace seals. He said he put on a new conductor plate, cleaned the valve body, but still nothing so he doesn't want to fool with it and his wife is on his ass to get rid of it. Young guy, nice (likes cars and guns), 8month baby and 2yo, I can sympathize. He is asking $1650, I offered $1200. He says if I get it today he'll take $1400 after being firm on the $1650, he came back out after I was driving off. Wonder how much tomorrow... Anyway, Kleb could you run a CARFAX please? 1999 Mercedes-Benz M-Class 4dr AWD 3.2L VIN: 4JGAB54E1XA060094 I have to look more on this tranny issue, this could be a really nice car. Tempting... but some heavy work. --FT On 8/21/18 10:09 AM, Floyd Thursby wrote: I'm gonna go take a look at this.
