Welcome New Members
I am great fan of AMG's, I have a C63 Sedan'09 and a ML63 '07.
I hope I can learn more from this forum and share some infos about Mercedes
Incredibly long wait list for this car in Australia, people ordering now are told there is a 12 to 18 month wait!

Blessings.
I have been searching the site while making my pre purchase decisions and will start with a big thanks to all that contribute, the info here is awesome.
The ML is my first MB, but not my first German vehicle. Looking forward to the ride
My name is Usman and I currently drive a 2005 S320 CDI. It has every option offered by the company for this car in 2005 except rear adjustable seats and remote start. I have upgraded the exhaust, installed a power pedal and changed the phone to a Viseo Bluetooth for integration of my iPhone and iPod.
I have been using this forum, as a guest, for the past couple of years and it has been a tremendous help in trouble shooting since I live in Pakistan and there is a shortage of qualified mechanics and spare parts.
Thank you all for being so helpful, I will try and do my share in being a productive member of this amazing forum.
Best Regards,
Usman.
With that said, I am a realist, so to work I go.
2 Days after I got it, changed out the heater exchange valve – I knew exactly what the issue was and how to fix it thanks to this community, I even knew to get those stupid plastic clips I broke before I started the project(flipping expensive from the dealer) – in short your MB community rocks.
I am now set to preventive work on changing out the front airmatic suspension to Arnotts (Seems to be the choice on this site) I will start with the right and then the left – hopefully I can get them done in a weekend.
I also have the front end vibration, so while the car is up and the tires are off – I will change out the ball joints(I think on this model there are 2 lower and 1 upper) and the lower control arm.
I am taking this endeavor on because this site has given me the confidence(with your DIYs) to get them done. I appreciate any additional help or tricks to get this done, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
While I have the car up and the tire off, let me know if I should get anything else done preventively.
I am proud to be an owner of the 2004 Mercedes Benz 4MATIC Wagon and part of this community. In advance thanks to everyone who keeps the place moving forward.
Go Benz,
Craig
P.S. Why do people use the term Merc!
