Hello house....
we have had a not so good experience with the ml500... but dat doesnt change my love for mercedez..
none the less we are considering getting a less powerful ml - the v6 engine..
i need to find out from benz users which year of ml320 or ml350 (not exceeding model produced in 2005) is less problematic...
i would greatly appreciate your inputs

I will go with ML320, used it with no problems before selling it

ok boss.

Using ml320, year 2000. Very good. Reliable. Fuel consumption is good also. Parts are abundant and not as expensive as one will think.

one of the best car for naija road, fuel consumption is okay, affordable parts,
overall, its a great ride.

What were the issues that you had with the 500 ml and why do you think it won't be the same with the v6?

Na Range I dey do o but before I graduated to Range Rovers, I was into Mercedes Benz until 2012. I was the better option to Capital Motors in Abuja before I decided to stay put in Lagos.

sorry boss for the late response
we had power steering issues.. abs sensor problem.. electronic stability failure and many other sensor issues...
a mechanic said the v6 is less expensive to maintain and comes with less sensors and electronics dan the ml500

When the abs is faulty, the esp will follow and the abs sensor is not more than 30k for the 4 tyres, new sensors. The ml is very particular about power steering fluid and you must have used abro or seahorse fluids to warrant those issues. If you patronise mecs like the one you had, they will not be able to fix the v6 version, they will later advise you that A class is the best because it is 4 cylinder. To enjoy any mercedes, obey the rules. The high end engineering involved in putting the car together does not allow substandard products and mecs to touch it. If you really grooved that ml500, you will never contemplate stooping low to a v6,

those sensors cost us over 50k to buy for the four legs... yet its still malfunctioning... and i use required steering oil by mobil as well as mobil 1 for engine servicing... we many atimes import leventis mechanics from lagos to come fix the car up in benin... as for the steering rack its replacement has been put at 145k..... so dats d reason we are considering buying the v6 if its less problematic.... and yes she was a blast when she was new... but benin roads and flood messed the baby up that she is refusing part.

After fitting the sensors, they should use computer to perform adaptation. It might even be the mud that is making the ecu not to detect the abs. Like I stated, you used the wrong power steering fluid and with that mistake, the cost of getting a new rack is the price. Check out Lawrence opp limit gate in sapele road. Thank God that your engine and transmission are good.

Since the issues you had are not engine and gear issues, then stick to the v8. Have you experienced where the ml will seize and will be dragging while you are moving? It is common on v6 when the abs is faulty. Power steering is also selective, And the rack is the same price. If you want the ml to be in top shape, take it to lawrence or bring it to lagos and get a renewal
