http://pointedthree.com PointedThree - W163 M-Class http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=26192 In need of new front and rear rotors for my W163

I note https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/1634210412.htm?pn=163-421-04-12-MBZ
......and more interestingly "This part is available from these other brands:" (ass attached)

Question:
Do any of you have any thoughts/recommendations/experience with any of the non-genuine brands?

Henry]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=25165 Could someone please assist me in identifying the part number for my 1999 ML430?

I'm looking for the hose connected to the fuel filter on the rear driver side, which I believe is a vent line. In the attached diagram, it is labeled as #13.

Thank you very much for your help!]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=24567

I'm trying to fit an extra Tranny cooling radiator to my 270CDI so I can tow without the oil overheating. I've already purchased a radiator on the assumption that the small/existing MB radiator (at the front) would be easy to tap into (simple rubber hoses). But just to be sure I got under the car today to trace the pipe routing. It's very hard to see/feel what's what but it seems that the Tranny oil forward and return lines (steel pipes and connectors just go straight to the Aluminium Heat exchanger box (just behind the oil filter) and the two hoses from the small MB Radiator go off the the left side of the engine somewhere(?). Pictures of this small MB Radiator (on Google) always state "Transmission Oil Cooler" yet I can't figure out how its connected to the Tranny box lines at all.

I have asked before (in another thread) but got no answer. Is there anyone that has this information on the Transmission Cooling System (for my car) that and share this with me?

Many thanks.
Neo]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=23630 I have a 2002 ML320 and its just sprung a green leak!
Let me run through some observations: It doesn't leak while the engine is running
It only leaks after I switch off engine.
It only leaks a set amount ....about 300mls ( a half Pint)
There is no oil present in the coolant.
There is no coolant present in engine oil.
While the engine is running the exhaust colour is normal, not white.
While the engine is running the cooling system pressurises,so not head gasket.
Replaced top and bottom radiator hoses.
Facing the car the leak appears near centre front approx. where the bottom hose enters radiator which made me originally assume
it was a perished hose.
After a weekend of changing hoses blah blah blah Im led to believe its the waterpump housing where the leak originates.
Does this sound like a possibility?

After 4 attempts by MB to rectify the problem, which included 2 system resets, new sender and some other attempted fixes, the problem was finally found to be in the instrument cluster.

2 weeks have gone by now, 2 fuel fills, and it appears to be opperating correctly.

I appears that advice from the other site, which said that the problem is quite likley in the instrument cluster turned out to be correct.

Cheers,
George.

I have tried everything to no avail.
My wife is driving me nuts.
The dealer refuses to reset the flag without a service although the car only has 2 K on the clock.]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=21474
Can anyone help on this one? I'm loathe to take it apart without some info. thanks]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=23179 The EPC light comes on too most of the time, but I now think the EPC is a separate issue. My No.5 injector looks wet and I have noticed a diesel smell so I'm thinking that could be the cause of the EPC?

I'm slowly losing heart with it, what could now be causing the new issues with the new box? before I put the new box in, I had to change the bell housing as the garage that strippd the donor car dragged the box accross the floor and damaged the fitting for the banjo bolt for the cooler line. i took that opportunity to check the clutch plates and they seemed perfect and the fluid was nice and clear with no burnt smell. (The old box smelled badly of burnt fluid)

I absolutely love the truck, It does everything I want it to do on paper - with the added bonus of it looking quite nice too!

Someone please help :banghead:]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=23177 Hello.
I have an issue with my ML, it has 440.000 km (300.000 miles) on it. It´s like the centerdiff is locked and makes the car resist and a thump hears when taking narrow turns at low speeds and also when I am driving off and turning at the same time. Also the 4ETS,ABS,ESP lights are on and off and the yellow triangle sometimes comes on when I am turning. Other than that it is in good shape and makes no grinding noise or bearing whine.
Any suggestions what is the problem? ]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=22749

I see there's a great deal of info on lock faults but most refer to the 'bounce' or 'machine gun' fault that can be repaired with a small spring. Mine is not showing this problem, the lock just does nothing.

I will take it to a local (and well recommended) Mercedes independent if necessary, however I thought it worth a quick post to see if there's anything simple I can try/examine/test before handing the car and my credit card over....

Thanks, Dave]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=22469
I've searched all the forums but can find any diagrams that show the breakdown of it.

Any help greatly appreciated.]]>
