Hello to all.

I am Si and have recently bought a W163 ML 270 CDI.It has a few issues,but as I work as a Vehicle Technician I hope to gradually sort them out........but I am in no way a Mercedes expert so that's where you lot come in.

Looking forward to being part of this community,please be gentle with me.......

Welcome to MBWorld, Si! We have some articles for the W163 here: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...Index-W163.htm that might still be helpful to you and your 270. Otherwise, good luck and if you ever need any parts be sure to let me know.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

So far the ML has lived up to expectations,although I don't get to use it much as my wife has decided that it's now her car!.I have had time to sort one niggle out so far,and that's to get the aircon working after tracing the fault to the refrigerant pressure/temperature sensor.Struggled to source one initially but eventually found a new aftermarket one for £52+vat.Had to wait a week to get it,but now all fitted,re-gassed and working as it should.Happy days.
