@wilt8v92 Those MLs are great cars, and I'm glad you enjoy them! They can be a bit of a handful to work on but are well worth it. Thank you for your watching and support i really appreciate it and consider subscribing if you haven't done so already.
I can get 100 octane in my town as well 91/95/98 ULP I usually buy 98 so at it's highest $2.96 litre NZD Lowest $2.46litre so roughly 10.50/12$ a imperial gallon which is 4.5 litres a US gallon is 3.8 litres so I believe.So it's not cheap! I have diesel truck and is around on special say 1.64 lite,BUT you have to pay a road tax of $82 per every 1000kms driven!! I live in the country so it's 200km to the city,and surprisingly the Mercedes is not to bad on gas on the open road,our roads are dangerous with bad drivers but the Benz is a heavy tank! I like the color of your dad's one you are driving mines grey unfortunately!
@Wilt8v92 Yikes! you are not kidding expensive indeed! The color is nice it came with the original two tone blue and grey since its a 1999. A long time-ago i suggested to him to just paint it all in color to match everything glad he did. The headlights are from a 2005 ML which bolts right up and it gives a modern look compared to the original ones. Thanks again for watching and for the subscribing i appreciate it.
My 2000 ml 320 is in rough shape compared to the one in this video. The sunroof leaked unchecked for years, that caused many many problems. My low range switch is M.I.A. like the passenger side windshield wiper. I could spend hours on its issues from the abuse it's been through. surpringly after the recent transmission/transfercase oil change it once again shifts manually if needed. The map phone radio currently isn't working, as I mentioned it's sunroof leaks but I coated the edges with duct tape to seal it for now. Horn doesn't work nor the airbags. Fuel economy is 12.6 litres/100km. But It is full time 4x4... I love it & it's only got 168.558 km.
@highlightedcomment wow rought indeed. You have low miles. My tester is my father's ride. It's been running excellent 👌 for 20 years. Thank you for watching and for the support I appreciate it 🙏.
@samuelkobby5723 Thank you for watching and im glad you enjoyed the video. I purchased the mirror covers on ebay. They sell them and to wire them up is not too hard.
@samuelkobby5723 i installed it a very very long time ago lol. Also the headlights are from a 2005 ML350 they are plug and play also. Thanks again for watching and consider subscribing if you haven't done so already. I have plenty of more videos on my channel.
I was looking how to manually shift the automatic transmission. The shifter will not move into the manual shift grove. I just purchased this 99 ML320. and am trying to learn all the controls. Otherwise the information was somewhat helpful.
Juergen Nicola congratulations on your ML purchase they are good trucks especially if you found a good one with no rust and well taken care off. Does your shifter moves fine from park into reverse and drive?
@victorbello6419 gracias por el apoyo y ver mi video. La mercedes ML320 siempre esta en 4x4 todo el tiempo. El sistema es complete completetamente automatico.
Easy does it! You are gonna wear out that power steering pump! I carry a couple labs in my 2001 ml. Mine is black on black leather. Even on the cold days with a little sun its fine. Heat and cold are great.
@paulscott power steering works perfectly on this ML it only failed once due to a recall on it. Thank you for watching and for the support I appreciate it.
@BigCEO3 Its automatic but it was offered with a manual transmission but only overseas we never got the manual version here in the states. Thank you for watching and for support i really appreciate it.
@@MatiasFFernandezJ I would say try it out before you buy one test drive and adjust the seat to the most comfortable position. My brother-in-law is 6'4 and he fits just fine. Thank you for watching and for your support, I really appreciate it.

For whatever it's worth, this vehicle is NOT 4matic. It is full time AWD with an old school Borg-Warner chain drive transfer case.
