Just picked up a little gem of a 2015 ML350 with 87k miles on the clock. My goal is to get it to 200k. Going to baby this great SUV. Thank you for the walk through! Now to find that transmission dipstick!
Just wanted to say this is the best (and only) review on the ML (W166) on RUclips I could find over the past few days. Devlin (the guy in the video) pinpointed and explained important things to check for when considering to buy an ML. Many thanks!
Fantastic and super helpful!
Nice work....thanks!
Excellent review! I think the most reliable one would be the gas 6 cyl without the air suspension, and rear-wheel drive. Unfortunately I think the 2014-15 has the silly gear shift selector. My understanding is this is the same platform as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and it was subject to a major recall on the gearshift selector
Actually it's reliable car if you maintain it as should be with high quality oils.
Any tips and advice in purchasing a 250ml 2015 with 56k miles on the clock? I'm looking into getting it. Please let me know what I should be looking for as an extra of what you mentioned in the video. Thanks
Timing chain guides rattle. Cylinder cooking on 6. Did they fix the oil cooler leak on Bluetec diesel?
That little plate on the front was stolen from my ML along with the mercedes logo on the grill. So how do I prove my car was not towed?
Why always ml350. I need ml400 reviews!
Great review though
Are the first few years of the GLE basically the same car? Should they be considered to be less likely to have the problems listed here?
I think they are same. Just small facelift with headlights and tails, also multimedia screen.
There's a transmission dip stick on the W166? I have a W164 and I don't have one.
He pulled the engine oil dipstick 😂. This car has no transmission dipstick.
No they don't, he messed up there
Sounds like the 2013 ML350 we have without air suspension or ultrasonic sensors should avoid most of these problems.
My ML350 rattles on start up and was leaking coolant, mechanic shop quoted 9k in repairs since they wanted to replace the whole timing chain and replace cracked coolant hoses going to the heater core. I’m glad to say they tried to scam me. My VVT failed and my check valves need to be replaced (I inspected the timing guides and tensioners with a bore scope and they looks good). About to coolant my little coolant pipe that connects both heads cracked. Shop wanted to pull the whole engine to check coolant leak
Is it just me or that front bumper is way brighter than other parts
Insane how cheap these cars are these days
I was shocked too 😳 😂
“Generalistic” things? Are you trying to say general things?
