Mercedes ML transmission (W163) fluid change THE RIGHT WAY
Crazy that the dealer and some independent German car shops want $900 to $1000 to do this fvcking job. Insane.
My transmission slips under sudden power, so i simply pull over turn engine off for half a minute if that & restart engine & drive off...sure the filters dirty & the solenoids need changing but who has money these daze for that...?
Great work! just a quick question, whats the parts number for the fuel pump, mine failed today, and im looking for parts. Thanks

Really useful video, many thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
How long for RTV to set . and what is RTV , I'm a novice just learning . Great Video 👍
hi buddy, thanks for your helpful video. you said “not registering my keys anymore”. did you talk with an ecu programmer about that issue? w163 has aam module and one of ecu programmers around here said we can reprogram it. and one another ecu programmer said aam module issue cant be fixed. so i’m confused before trying your solution.
Hi bud, my module was busted too so instead of chasing old modules and reprogramming I went for an easier solution. The biggest question is, is it worth it to pay all that money for module/key reprograming on these old suv's! I would just use the multimeter to see if the wires have operational and just tap into them the way I did. But if you wanna keep the ML pristine and don't mind spending the coin then the reprogramming would be the best choice. Cheers.
Great video, i am just doing my triumph tiger 955 because it has a sticky clutch,
Alright guys, top job but I do have one thing for you. The inner tripod CV joint needs a semi liquid grease like the texture of what came out of it. Using the graphite grease that comes with these boot kits kills the needle bearings in the tripod leading to premature failure.
@MoldMinis appreciate the information. Hopefully, people see this and take advantage of it! Cheers
I've watched you other video too for the fuel pump itself. Did you do the fuel pump or the fuel filter first? Which one is more important to do first? I would imagine the filter first so you're not running your brand new fuel filter dry when trying to depressurize? Just a thought.
I had to do the fuel pump first, it died on me before I even made it home after purchasing the car. If you have no issues with your fuel pump then, I rekn you should just change the filter first! It would be beneficial to get the dirty filter out so your pump can work properly. Cheers!
I'd be interested in your take on the W163 ml 270 cdi ?
@Leo70780 those are one of the best series of W163, in my opinion. Too bad they were not sold in North America. Those engines, with timely maintenance, can last forever. They are getting up there in age nowadays, so the turbo needs replacing or rebuilding. Common problems I heard of are to do with the steering rack. I would buy a cdi W163 in heart beat as long as there is somewhat required of maintenace performed in the past.
Awesome video - very clear and professional
Hey friend , quick question, I have the same car as ur working on ML320 do I need to empty out my oil before I start loosening the bolts for the valve cover ?? ❓
@eyeando7356 no bud, you are working on the top so need to drop the oil but make sure you vaccum the area before removing the valve covers. Once they are open then you gotta make sure no dirt goes in your engine.
@@gasNgears respect
What is the Part Num ?
Where do you get all the bits and pieces from ?
@@Leo70780 www.autohausaz.com/pn/1633230220KIT
Thank you for the video! Are there fittings that go onto the fuel line? I installed yhe line back on and its leaking fuel. Thank you.
I would look to see if the face of the fuel lines got scratched or nicked at all during the removal mate. Sometimes it may look ok until further inspection we don’t see slight imperfections that lead to fuel leak under pressure. Could be a something in the way, small enough to cause an imperfect seal. Cheers.
Other youtuber,s should take notes here! Very good video both in showing how its done and non-nonsense talk. Cheers from Norway! I,m in the middle of changing the same as shown this video shows AND lower ball joint/upper joint/arm... And EVERYTHING was/are stuck! Had to cut with grinder, and with upper nut lower ball joint, i had to drill a series of holes on both sides of the nut before i split it with a chisel...
@kjetilkjellevold8054 thanks for the kind words sir. I try to film the stuff, the way I would prefer to see if I was watching someone else do the job.
What symptoms did you have before you replaced the tie rods?
@seankellogg6154 I had really loose steering feel to my ML. It required a lot of input to turn and there was a tonne of false play in the steering. It was vibrating at higher speeds as well. Easiest way to check would just undo the nut and feel the elbow joint. More than likely it's shot because of the sheer weight of these things and how long they have been around for. Hope it helps. Cheers.
@@gasNgears thanks for the fast response. I’m thinking I have the same issue on my 2007 GL 320. Even though I replaced the rack with one from FCP Euro, something seems loose and the steering wanders. The outer tie rods are tight when I replaced the rack but I’ll have to take them off to check the inner ones.
@seankellogg6154 no worries, hope you get it sorted. 👍
I would like to pay you to fix my r53 coopers!!!!!
@brianchoi86 Appreciate the kind comment, bud, but due to the liability factor, I don't work on other people's cars.
@gasNgears would you take my r53 s for a different contents? I will pay for parts and labour. I really want to need to fix it and I really don't have time to do... or is there any possible way to contact you privately?
❤ Been there done that 5 years ago 😂😂😂
As a fellow canadian triumph triple owner, it does suck trying to find parts here. I'll also be opting for the EBC clutch kit, looks like fortnine stocks them. Thanks for the great vid!
Great video thanks
Thank you for this awesome video🍺
Thank you very much for this video. Following your instructions I was able to replace one of the gaskets in my ML350. Great videos!
Trips me out that all these videos don't utilize the drain plug that screams drain me here.
I couldn't help but notice with the bonnet open there was this big , what looks like a filter , is that standard for the W163 ml , great video by the way 👍
@Leo70780 thank you. No, it's not a stock filter. I put a cone filter instead of a stock airbox on mine for better induction noise. Makes it feel a bit quicker on the top end of the Rev range. Possibly a plasibo effect due to more noise 😆
This video helped me a lot. Thanks for making it!
Agreed! Thank you! Especially the tools needed 👍 screenshot that!
I'm looking at a w163 ml 320 1999 would a 2002 be better , I'm not sure .
The engine is slightly bigger, and the exterior and interior has slight changes. 2002 had better headlights and slight hp increase. Earlier 320s had a bit better gas mileage than the 350s.
Thanks for the Reply 😊 @@gasNgears
I'd be interested to know what you think about the w163 ml 270 cdi ?
Thanks to you this 26 year old got it done
Thanks bud just did this to my daughters car. Great video!
Thank you for your video very helpful. Doing this change today on two sides.
Thanks! I also have 16-17 liters/100 km and looking forward to treat my car. After 420,000 kms my E 500 deserves it.
Great job: subbed & liked!
Thanks so much for the tutorial it was a great help 😃
Glad to be of help.
Special tools? What is the orange c-clamp thingy?

does coolant run through the throttle body? i’m going to go get this cleaned today
No bud, it's got vaccum lines only. No coolant.
also do i absolutely have to replace the solenoid when i do my trans change??
@jaylanhowrll3839 the solenoid is suggested only because it does leak overtime (if it's not leaking now) saves the trouble of messing with it all over again later. But upto you completely, if it's not leaking you could potentially get away without doing it for now, however it's a gamble I personally wouldn't take.
@@gasNgears what’s the actual solenoid part called?
@@jaylanhowell3839 13 pin transmission harness connector.
@@gasNgears ok and did you have to replace all 9 quarts or you just filled halfway? does doing it the way you did it release all or some of the fluid?
i’ve read the manual and it says that changing the sealed fluid can do more harm then good. what you think about it? think it’s true??
Just like bmw life proof fluid, no need to change and then suddenly upon mechanical failure, they'd be happy to sell you a new transmission for 7 grands or more. I've put on roughly 10k after the fluid change, and it's been fantastic. I don't think any fluid would last transmission life term, to be honest.
@@gasNgears right brodie i’m in the midst of doing mine. just bought the same car two days ago. EXTREMELY NICE CONDITION. was hoping if you could send me some links to get the fluid and transmission kit. also the larger rear seat in the back won’t slide back or forward so i’ll need help with that if you can. i’ll take down a number or email bro. i’ll send all the pics i can🙏
@jaylanhowell3839 I ordered my fluids from germanparts.ca and the transmission electronic plug was from Amazon. Your seat release pins might be stuck so I would spray some lube or pb blaster in there to see if it releases the seat bud!
@@gasNgearswe think the lever got stuck or loose or something so we’ll try that, and i looked up the part you sent and it’s only like 13$. the solenoid is around 80 to 100$. i’m assuming doing this, i won’t have to change the actual solenoid just this connector like you did?
Good clear video, thanks v much 👌
Thanks, and good luck with your MINI. I agree, factory parts all the way.
Did you change tie rods on each side of the car, good video
Yes, @davidsyked9420 I changed both sides before getting the wheel alignment done.
Very good video!👍
Hi. Thanks for the video. I'm prepping to do my seals. What term do I search for to find that clamp? I'm having trouble finding it. All three point clamps I find have flat points, not the pointy points.
Great! A nice ,simple and cheap modification--what is not to like?
Awesome info bro, electrical demons be gone...
Glad to be of help.
How's it fairing?
@veedubgeezer its plenty performing fantastic. I've put about 2000 kms on it so far and I have no complaints with it. Bike's handling has improved immensely. I have it dialed on softer setting and it's still pretty crisp as compared to the oem junk that it came with.
My fuel rail dosent pop out that easy, i have been trying for the past 4 hours to get it out but its stuck on pretty bad, i am scared of prying it out with anything just in case i damage the fuel rail. Any suggestions?
May be try spraying some lube around the fittings and let it sit so it helps with breaking it up a little!
@@gasNgears i tried spraying some wd40 silicone spray around it and let it sit for couple hours and it still isnt budging. They're move left and right a bit but wouldn't come out at all
Very helpful and save me a lot of trial and error for things. But after I repeat your procedure, I cannot find a place big enough to put the main unit within the center console. I ended up putting it under the left seat with the wire harness slipped through the loosen console base. Thanks a million!
@ec1458 Under the seat is a great bud idea, won't be affected by anything there either!! I am glad the video was helpful to you. Cheers 👍
Thanks Dan 👍
Cool stuff
Great video, thanks for sharing. Where did you buy your hand guards?
Thanks @kurttallon. My hand guards are stock triumph guards that came from the factory.
Well they're nicer than the stock ones we have in the UK 🇬🇧 👍
