I have zero tech information of this particular engine, but, like many late version diesel engines, it has computer controlled injectors, which use high pressure oil controlled by an electrical device, controlled by an engine computer. IF that is the system, in principle, this car uses, I posit as

I think the pump was replaced before Hoovie got it, but very recent. Hopefully the battery is now fully charged so I will check it later and see what happens. Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 7, 2021, at 7:47 AM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > wrote: > > That issue might be related to the low

Re: [MBZ] Did I get the deal of the century? 642 rod knocking magically cured?

That issue might be related to the low battery. All the electronic gizmos seem to have very picky requirements for battery voltage. Check with Hoovie’s boy The Weezard to see if he replaced the pump or if the PO (someone Hoovie knew) has info on it. I doubt if it is bad though. --FT Sent from

The wife had let the GL sit for about a week  because it had a flat while I was out of town.  Actually it probably only was sitting for maybe 4 days.  Battery was too low to start it.  I noticed before that it seems like it turns over slower than I think it should.  I hooked my small hand held

You can if you drive it with no oil. Bizarre that he didn't try to make a claim on the oil change shop. That would have been my first reaction. Allan Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes writes: > You can't kill a diesel in less than 1 million miles. > > On Sun, Jun 6, 2021, 11:13 PM Kaleb Striplin

So against my better judgement I bought this 2009 ML320 Bluetec today for $1k.  Guy who owned it said he had the oil changed about 2 years ago (truck has been sitting since), then left for a 4 hour road trip.  He says suddenly it starts acting strange and he pulls over and its got a loud knock.
