#31 of 8166 2001 ml320 auto lock and rain sensor by akwasi Dec 04, 2000 (11:38 pm)
I have a 2001 ml320. I have the auto lock activated which locks all the doors at about 9 mph. My question is as soon as I reach my destination and turn the engine off and open the driver side door, all the four doors are unlocked. Is this normal? In my Camry, only the drivers side door unlocks unless you push the unlock button. Also, my ML320 has the rain sensor. With the wiper in the intermittent mode(the mode recommended for the rain sensor to work), any time I turn the engine on or off, the wiper goes through one cycle. Is this normal
#32 of 8166 ? Clunk Noise? by mikestaley Dec 04, 2000 (11:57 pm)
00 ML 320 Approaching 15K After stopping at a traffic light/stop sign, there is a clunk noise coming from the Left Front wheel area. No steering or handling problem! Also preparing for the first "A" Service any and all tips appreciated. I did change to synthetic 1K and will have the oil and filter changed. Mike
#33 of 8166 98 ML 320 by thor3 Dec 04, 2000 (11:58 pm)
Rover96, I obviously believe in the ML and I want your experience to be a positive one. The 1st thing I would do is have a MB dealer pull the service records for this particular 1998 ML. Look for any issues there have been and if they were all resolved. Check for any body repairs... Also, check to see what factory options it had - sunroof, Bose Stereo, I assume leather interior...these are all factors in value. Depending on the date of Original Delivery I assume you may still have a "Factory" warranty for what ever is left of your 8K miles. If you do buy this vehicle, make sure you get everything possible resolved Before the "Factory" warranty expires. Any additional "extended" warranty may severely limit what is covered...If you could get the MB "starmark" warranty that ONLY Mercedes Dealers can offer would be best. My main concern is that you are buying an Mercedes product that was 1st generation and is not the same vehicle that it is today. I hate for you to play Russian Roulette and see if your 1998 is worthy. With only 8K miles and ?? months before factory warranty expiration there is little time to work out any issues. As I said earlier, extended warranties are not like factory warranties and cover very limited components depending on the policy. You are paying for less but will get less if you sell or trade in later..
#34 of 8166 2000.1 Navtech Update by jbergqui Dec 05, 2000 (12:01 am)
Has anyone received their Navtech CD update to the 2000.1 version? I have not received mine yet, but I see that it is available on the website for $160.
#35 of 8166 Silcon Spray for Squeaks? by carbon_00 Dec 05, 2000 (1:09 am)
I am a little concerned about letting loose with a Silcon Spray for Squeaks in teh dash area...Would the heat from the vents not cook the silicon and cause a really funky smell? I'm going to try using some rubber strips on the wiper cowlings first. Thanks!
#36 of 8166 thor3 on Ml320 by dagill Dec 05, 2000 (2:04 am)
Brilliant review. I totally agree with you. There are early 99ML320's with 35-45m available in the Eastern region with a price range of $26-$29k. This would be a much better deal than a 98 although I have friends with 98 that have very little or no probs with theirs. PS. The wind noise is the most irritating

Sorry, Drew-I printed out the part number for the Mercedes drain hose for the battery box.....and lost it just when I was going to order the part. Could you be so kind as to post that part number again? Thanks---Jeff
