TSAT Bad valves and Piston.

Piston,bad valves,rings. All point to Engine;going by the inputs. But why the ECM from the scan.
May just take the chance of getting a matching ECM and see if there will be need to change the Engine.

Any idea availability and cost of matching ECM or Engine??

I don't know how easy it is to get a ECM that would match cos with benz the key, ecm and hammer the steering lock have to be married. So getting a new one means getting the 3.

If that is what it will take, that will by God grace won't be a problem; but getting a matching unit, is my primary concern and headache.
Pls house members I dey wait for positive solution ooo

Though I am not a fan of suvs nor cross overs, because they seems to be like an unnecessary evil to me(a mid size compact sedan Benz is just capable enough) , but if you happen to test drive an ml350 with any other suv, like rx330 you will be surprised at the level of luxury and comfort as well as handling that your ml350 will offer you unlike your rx330 and her likes, that are somehow boring, no soul to it like your ml350.
Ml 350 handles just like some luxury sedan , you could drift and twist with it and above all her acceleration is excellent, 0-60 mph(120kmh) in 8.4 sec for an suv, and has a very good mpg of 19/31 cty/hw averaging out 25mpg in British standard scale for a 6 cylinder engine of 272 bhp at 6000RPM, with a 7 speed steptronic auto gearbox to cut down cost of running while reducing any load on the engine of 3,498 cc displacement stock, a 4matic drive.

To me Benz is the cheapest car to maintain if you are not careless in maintenance, but could be the costliest if you are. Unfortunately few of the guys I see around with Benz, BMW and Audi are very careless in maintenance and they pay dearly for their ignorance, hence looking at the cars as an expensive type in terms of maintenance.

The truth is that if you look at Benz as a costly car so it will be, but if you look at it as a cheap car to maintain then it will be same too. Any angle you look at it, it will deliver same to you. There was this myth that I knew from infanthood that benz is an expensive machine to maintain, I buried it in my heart and definitely it became very expesive for me to maintain when I finally bought benz not until I changed my mindset did benz became a budget machine to me, in a sense that I could run it a whole year when broke with little or no kobo. Don’t wait for a component to breakdown before you fix it , any defective component will always give an extended warnings until you have the bucks to fix it, besides most of her wear items can be re engineered locally to last even like stock at no cost because they are made of quality material/alloy. For a careful and a knowledgeable owner, Benz is cheaper to fix than any other brand of vehicle.

Ml350 has many wires and circuitary like benz c class and e class of that model year, and never you nor your technician mess with these items, simply replace what ever is bad here, and leave it at the factory settings , avoid by passing/straight connections at all cost since it is a highly computerised machine with proper computer(ECU) coding, in order words it is very loaded with hightech.

Because of her sportlike fenders and side sketches, she is more beautiful when decorated with wider tyres

By the way Smartchoice, here are the pix from that Sunday exercise. I was just thinking of what to do to my ride, to add more value to it last weekend since i'd not touched it for a very long time.
I decided to stripped down the inner old roof and rebuild it to taste, DIY.

After all said and done in about 5hrs the thoroughly done work was over , the gumming alone took me about 4 hrs, because i wanted it the best that will last, since Benz is about durability.

Not detailed very unlike you..... BTW what gives you the confidence to always tamper with your vehicle.... From opening engines to interior decor?
