Re: [diesel_mercedes] Thinking of a used 2011 ML350

 

When I took my wife's Cherokee to the shop for a fix, I came back with my 79 300D to pickup her Jeep.
The mechanic said MB doesn't make cars like they used to.
His wife had a newer MB and he said it had issues.

Hopefully this is not too recent a vintage Mercedes Benz for this group.

I'm looking at a 2011 diesel ML-350.  It looks amazing and has less than 25,000 miles (40,000 km) on the odometer. As you'd guess the dealer wants a premium price.

My dilemma is the wide variety of reviews both on-line and in print.  They are all over the map.  Most seem to be angry at the high cost of the new vehicle but few seem to concentrate on any particular issues with the vehicle itself.

I'm a little wary of the new diesel technology (I also have a 2006 diesel Jetta) with it's urea tank.  And the lack of a spare tire is a bit of a concern.  The fit and finish of this car seem excellent and the dealer is offering a 1 year "warranty"

Now the questions!  What is the repair record of this new breed of diesel?  The myriad of on-board electronics is mind boggling.  Is this another possible weak point for reliability issues?

Any other advice from real user experience would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick

I have a 1980 240D with auto. I am having a terrible time getting it to
shift right. There is no throttle connection to the tranny. It is all
vacuum control - at least that's how I understand it. It would hold the
1 -2 shift until high rpm, even with east throttle - very annoying. I
finally disconnected the vacuum completely. Now, with extremely easy
throttle, it shifts beautifully. But, if I use any throttle at all, it
flares terribly.

There doesn't seem to be a vacuum diagram for this model anywhere. I've
looked.

Any ideas?

No.  I have a lighter foot than that.  Rarely does it get to 4500 rpm.

You use Propane?  Switch to Nitro and it will kick in at 4200.
