2005 ML 350
Hi,
has anybody reach to the point of the extended warrenty?
and iam worrying about the mcs system stop working when the battery goes died or run out of power,
i try to find code but it not in the owner manual or in the mcs manual,
the dam dealer won't give me the mcs code without presenting driver license and registration,
is there any other way to get the mcs code?

Regarding the MCS malfunctioning, I believe most will agree that the MCS is probably one of the more reliable components on the ML. And YES, the dealer will not (and should not!!!) give you the MCS code if you can't prove either ownership of the vehicle or some kind of relationship to vehicle owner. The MCS code should have been given to you when you purchased the truck. Is this truck yours??? Why don't you just present your DL and get the code?? It sounds like you're attempting to do something you shouldn't be doing here. What's up Mr. ml350?? spit out your secret now!!!

2005 ML 350
Hi,

we have couple of mile before the first check,
can you guys tell me if the first 4 years are free and the 5 is a charge?
the dealer didn't tell us anything about the 4 year service or the extended warrenty service,

Who is this guy? These questions seem frivolous and repetetive. Oh well, I know we're here to help...
Speaking of frivolous, what is the MCS code? What do we need it for?

SL500 E320 ML350
My '05 ML350 has just turned 2000mi. Took it in for the free initial visit - no problems. The truck seems to "surge" forward under mild brake pressure (like the idle speed is too high). Took it back for evaluation and was told there is a "software update" that will fix this. (Satrunstyl, do you have an opinion?) Dealer did the update - runs great now. Check for the update for your new ML350 also just in case. Enjoy your ride!

'02 ML320, '82 380SL
my opinions for the newbie
My '02 has a factory extended warranty. As much as I love the beast, at 46k miles I wouldn't be able to sleep at night without the warranty. In fact, it would be gone. I have had a lot of stuff go wrong, and the '02 is pretty much the same as the '05, except for the new model engine. Keep that in mind.
Great points about knowing your SA; mine is a lot better than the techs that work on it, and I am a very long-term customer. I have received every break in the world on warranty issues, and I have had a lot of them. But most of us get complimentary valet, and there are worse things than driving a C240 for a couple of days.
Even if it weren't your nature to treat people with respect, and even if you are smarter than your SA, their decisions can cost or save your thousands. Don't believe me?, try acting like a pompous jerk, then compare your results with mine, over time. The gremlins will attack, and your SA will either be your advocate or just someone to add the numbers up.
Good luck.
