Got my 1st CEL

Less than 3000 miles and the ML throws a CEL, ends up being a fuel pump code. Turns out a rodent chewed up the wire harness running to the fuel pump. I'm going home to kick my damn cat in the a$$

I'm relieved it wasn't an engineering issue with your ML. The X5 diesels have been having a lot of check engine light issues.

You need the "pit bull" hood ornament. This will keep those pesty cats out of the engine compartment.
