Re: [MBZ] Stuck in limp mode - 2007 ML350 - 128k miles - $6,100

Quite ambitious in the ask. Doing the CP on the cheap would be a few $100, going with stealer or shop would be close to $2k then you’d have a $3k car if the engine was not a known issue. The engine is likely a ticking time bomb so significant risk there. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Oct 22,

[MBZ] Stuck in limp mode - 2007 ML350 - 128k miles - $6,100

[MBZ] Swap and Benzing

Today I did a swap. I had a 99E20 I bought maybe 6yr ago for $600 with bad conductor plate. I put maybe $200-$300 into it. It’s a very nice car, 245kmi, I drove it for 2-3yr until I got the 05E320 4m wagon. I saw this 07E350 a few months ago on FBMP and talked to the seller, it sounded like

Re: [MBZ] Diesel fuel mileage

Bio-D would have less energy but I've found it to be good for the car in other ways. This makes me think. The snowmobile club has an old farm tractor we mow the trails with. Its gotten persnickity in the extreme. I bought some diesel purge to run through it but I'm wondering if a couple

Re: [MBZ] Interesting Benzing experience

Many years ago I was coming back from northern Maine not long after Memorial Day.  There was an accident and the whole highway was down to one lane at a walking pace. Occasionally somebody would decide they wanted to take the closest exit and would slip down the breakdown lane. Just ahead of

Re: [MBZ] Diesel fuel mileage

Back in the day when I tracked mileage carefully I could definitely see differences in energy content from the fuel at different stations. There was one Mobil station that was generally the most expensive around but it'd get 1-2mpg better than most. I also found one place off the highway that

So today I embarked on the replacement of all of the accumulators in the W215 chassis (CL600). Got the car on the Quickjack and in the air, which is nice. Found the pulse damper, which is located at the rear valve block. Definitely original. The rear accumulator is tough to get to as it’s on
