you should look at Hoovie's vids on the GL320 Kleb bought from him

So what specific things do I need to be aware of if this black CDI becomes the front runner? The girls dig it.

Problem area is oil cooler seal leaks. If it’s been done you should be good. Timing chain stretch can be an issue also usually related to the gasoline rated oil they spec for it in order to protect the DPF. I prefer to use a real diesel rated synthetic such as Rotella t6 or similar. This will protect the engine but a small possibility of plugging up the DPF. If it does they can be removed and cleaned out, or removed and tuned out. Also, I would look for a 07 or 08. 09 and later would have DEF and more issues to deal with.

Inpreparation, I think I may sell my Passat TDI and maybe get an ML that would prove easier for my daughter in the business of schlepping car seats, strollers, etc.Just when I think I have rectified the idea of not owning a diesel anylonger, I see a couple of low mileage, MLs that are CDI.Big picture/long-term, as compared to a similar petrol powered vehicle,are these to be steered clear of? I probably haven’t paid well enough attention when we’ve discussed this before.The one in question is an’08 320 ML CDI 4matic, black on black (ofcourse), 127k miles for somewhere around $8250. I didn’t see a way to link this CarGuru(?) posting. they seem to feel it’s a really good deal and they would love me to click on them and finance the piss out of it.AZBob Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archiveshttp://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com_______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archiveshttp://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com_______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archiveshttp://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com_______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archiveshttp://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com_______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archiveshttp://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archiveshttp://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com_______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archiveshttp://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com_______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archiveshttp://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com-- --FT _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archiveshttp://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com_______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archiveshttp://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
