#41 of 8166 Hot Air-VictusW by jmcdowell Dec 05, 2000 (6:29 am)
Victus, did you get an answer to the heating problem on your ML? I have an appointment with the regional sevice manager and tech rep next Monday to talk about the problem. So far the dealer is making rumblings about it being "normal operation". Like you, once the car has been run, shut off and then restarted, the temp control works like it should, so the problem is only on cold starts. Since hot air continues to blow, even with the fan turned off, I have found that turning the temp control to the last click to the left (recirculate) shuts off the heat, so I can at least keep it from giving me the full sauna treatment.
#42 of 8166 Clunk noise ?engine rev by scott902 Dec 05, 2000 (2:42 pm)
Mike, I wonder if we have the same slight problem, mine is like a bed spring sprung on an old bed or a muted guitar string. I leaned on the passenger seat the other day and the noise happened, but not again? Engine rev I get at stop light a noticeable engine down rev sound, yet the rpms do not budge? it's like a heart murmur to me? My 99 ML did not have that MB, said no error codes on seat belts. Diagnostics did not detect my SRS system aler light coming on a few days later. Scott
#43 of 8166 Bargamon - Scott by mikestaley Dec 05, 2000 (3:23 pm)
Bargamon, wasn't your unit delivered from (Maitland)=Orlando I think your ML was the one I sat and enjoyed some Merlot and a cigar (just kidding.) Scott The sound clunk - bed spring noise is not every stop but more than one time in a day. It is not an inside the passenger compartment noise, outside Left tire area, maybe a shock or something.

Mine was built on 12/1/00, Capri Blue (special order), M1, M2, M7, Bose, heated seats. How long can I expect it to take to receive in San Francisco? Is two weeks realistic?

I think you're the first w/ that color. Can you take pictures for us? Delivery depends on too many things. It can vary from 2-4 weeks.

I was wondering what those strange stains were on the ceiling! yeah I remember. So far so good, General tires not wearing even, insides have more tread than outside. any ideas? So many people here these days, someone should have a quick answer.

#48 of 8166 Tire Gauge by ran111 Dec 05, 2000 (4:00 pm)
I picked up an MB tire gauge during my last trip to the dealer. It is digital with auto/on-auto/off features. It displays in half-pound increments and costs around $20. Tell your friends and family - it would make a nice stocking stuffer.
#49 of 8166 jmcdowell - Hot Air by victusw Dec 05, 2000 (5:22 pm)
Jeff - I missed my appointment two weeks ago and have not been able to reschedule due to my other car problem. However, I've been documenting my ML hot air problem both on paper and on video tape. I do notice that the hot air problem gets worse when the outside temperature is below 38 irregardless of interior temperature. One time I even had the Radio Shack thermometer reporting 160 and then flashed "HHH". I guess it means Hot and the thermometer reached its maximum measurable range. The problem seems to be when my ML tries to adjust the temperature, it's using the outside temperature and ignores the interior temperature. Perhaps the interior thermostat is not functioning, disconnected or does not exists. Once the car is warm or the outside temperature is above 38. Everything seems semi-OK. Let me know your result with the MB rep. I'm curious to hear what/how they can qualify this as "Normal". BTW, I couldn't get any of my other cars to generate such high heat, not even my home furnace.

#50 of 8166 jbergqui - 2000.1 NavMap Update by victusw Dec 05, 2000 (5:29 pm)
Joe - you'll need to call NavTech to register if your dealership hasn't done it for you already. I've just recieved my 2000.1 update last week. I was also told that there is another update coming out next April.
