Note: Apologies about the sudden turnaround towards the middle of the video due to the high-idling issue the car developed while I was filming. Hopefully I'll get a better review of an ML sometime in the future.

Nice and detailed review, good job!

I have this car and mine has done 410,000 KMs 😬 they are great cars! Mine is still going strong. It does have a hole in the vacuum hose, but I'm hoping that won't be too difficult to fix 🤞🤞

The Black Death has struck... Injectors have come loose, often also kill the wiring loom. Needs a lot of cleaning, seats recut and new washers with new bolts too if your lucky. Oven cleaner is good for getting through all the black gunk...

Man, that is a great car. I am sure this model has at least 350 000 km. That sympthoms with engine little problem are probably caused by injectors disfunction. Good review.

This particular one had 278k kms on it when I filmed it. My friend told me, however that the issue probably comes from the fact that there wasn't enough oil in the engine. And when that's the case, the engine idles high to prevent it from seizing. But yes, the is a nice car and thanks for your support!

Just needs to good run on the Highway. Add a small amount of Transmission fluid to the diesel and run the vehicle with heavy kick downs on the accelerator. One of the fuel injectors is just sticking and you'll be able to clear that in no time.

It's fixed at this point. The owner of the car took it to his mechanic. I don't know if that was the issue or not, but at least it's up and running good again :)

Hi ,these are awsome trucks and if looked after properly will last forever, yours definitely has a leaky injector seal, probably on cylinder number 1, remove the engine cover and have a look, can be an easy repair if caught early, more difficult if left too long though. good luck !

Have you considered a horn review on your vehicles that you review?

@lukasautomotiveawesomeness1536 5 жыл бұрын

I usually honk the horn on all cars that I review, but just not this one because other people were outside while I was filming and I didn't want to scare them

What was the cause of the high rpm was it the high pressure pump at fault ?? Great video.

@lukasautomotiveawesomeness1536 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not a mechanic and don't know for sure, but it was most likely from the car being low on oil. Low oil will cause the engine to idle extremely high so the engine doesn't seize up.

oh and for my parents 2001 ml 320 the radio can be turned on while the key is not in the ignition is that normal or not??

@lukasautomotiveawesomeness1536 5 жыл бұрын

That is normal for most older cars, but you can't do that on modern cars. Since most of them have smart key access systems, you can't do anything unless the key is with you

It is just an acceleration cable you put some oil on it and it becomes fine. it always happens to old cars or else you replace the acceleration(gas) cable

278k km is nothing man. And definitively nothing for the diesel OM612. Our w210 E270 CDI lasted 970k km without opening the engine.

It’s an excellent car, why the hell do you blame it? Did another company pay you for that? This type has the best engine Mercedes has ever produced.

@lukasautomotiveawesomeness1536 Жыл бұрын

I never said that the car was bad, it probably just wasn't well taken care of and developed an issue as a result. I do really like this generation ML and do think they are generally good cars. I never got paid to say things like that and this is also not my car.
