I have been in the market for a new (to me) Mercedes again. Ive had a W163 ML, a W203 C55, and a old 190E.

Locally a 2008 GL450 just popped up on martketplace with 100k for $3000. Pictures look decent, no air suspension sagging which I know can be a problem with these.

The problem the seller states "Starts and dies then have to let sit four hour and then it will start and die." I know on the M112/M113 motos this usually meant a crankshaft sensor issue.

I am well versed with wrenching and have a scan tool.

Any idea what this might be before I go look at it?

Thanks,

The scan tool will tell you plenty. However, without the codes my money is on a bad Fuel Pump.

99 out of a 100 times, this is the issue on the 164.

check for standing water under both seats and in the deep trunk. If wet, it’s a parts car worth half..
