Engine Replacement On ML350 by Nairaland1stson(op): 3:58pm On Sep 27, 2021
My cousins 2007 ML350 just arrived from yankee. Upon inspection we discovered that the Engine has a knocking sound and it emits blueish smoke from the exhaust pipe which i assume to be oil burning out..
We also discovered that the engine oil was mixed with water when we drained it out for oil change.
Mechanic said Oil cooler was bad which we bought and replaced(photo attached)

My observations: The knocking sound is coming from the upper part of the engine and not deep inside engine and tends to fade away when engine is fired

Can this be fixed or do we replace the engine
Suggestions are needed

Please look for a good Benz specialist to look into the issue.

Where is your location?

Depending on level of damage, and location and closeness to highly skilled technicians, you may either go the way of engine rebuild or replacement.
