I wonder how that aluminum V6 diesel will hold up vs the venerable I6 iron block. I guess it's a moot point since cars these days don't last more than 5-6 yeas anyway..

So all of the references to MPG mentioned above (and on the MB-UK site) are in "miles per US gallon?" or is it the Imperial gallon?
Here is the MB tech data on the ML320CDI from the UK site

Final found a safe place to stop turned off engine restarted and the car is fully normal again with no faults.

My car is in the shop yesterday and today "to check the levels". Two days to check fluid levels?
Good luck to us both.
