That is great. i think to reduce the amount of Engine oil required for the optimum viscosity i should be usig highest viscosity available right ? like 10w-60.

Hi. Thanks all for answers. No Leak at this point Manual specifies Pentosin CHF 11 This is very attractive suggestion :) Wouldn't Engine oil be bad for Seals and cause leak ? Should i use mineral or synthetic oil ?

No leak from power steering, Unfortunately at customs there is issue with liquids as they can be flammable, explosive or etc. From other thread i found this There are PSF fluids available for Honda in the country, but i can not find their viscosity numbers at websites or on the bottles. Can...

Hi. Thanks for reply. Unfortunately US made products are not available in country :( Only German, Korea and Japan

Hi Friends, The car is W163 ML 2002. Steering wheel is a little hard to turn. I previously started a thread on whether higher viscosity fluid would improve PS performance, many thought the answer was 'no'. Today it was unusually cold outside. (No ice, no rain :) ) I Started the car and the...

Hi. i want to thank everyone who posted here for help, especially those who mentioned engine mounts. . Finally replacing engine mounts reduced volume by approximately 40% at all RPM ranges.

Well. Test 1: Transmission in Neutral at 3500-4000 RPM there is high noise outside. But inside it is pretty fine. Doors and hatches are Matted+ closed cell foam (IMHO outside noise is not more than other cars. I had other cars that made similar amount of noise at 3.5-4k RPM. Even all exhaust...

Hi. Hangers are rubber. At idle in Neutral, there is almost no noise. At cold start, if i put Transmission into D and press brake pedal, there is pedal shaking noise 35Hz. Too Bassy. Noise is more problem during engine load, not directly RPM related. I rarely exceed 3500 RPM, So During...

Hi. Friends. Unfortunately i am back after much effort :( 1. Replaced muffler with used one. No success (Didnt risk new one because not sure if it will help or not.) 2. I thought the noise would be emitted from Muffler itself. Bought 2mm steel sheet to add aditional layer over stock muffler...

Thanks for reply. Do very small holes make loud noise ? For example one or two toothpick sized holes due to poor welding at difficult to reach areas?

Hi Friends. W163 ML 2002 3.2L My Car is loud inside. I thought it was normal but after some people complained about exhaust noise inside cabin i realised that sound level is much higher than it should be. It turned out that its cats were all replaced with universal resonator like in the photo...

Thanks very much for valuable information :)

Hi Friends. For the outer surfaces of car where it is exposed to dirt, stones and water splashes regularly, rust prevention may require a little more extensive work, But most of in my case, there are small areas inside (such as door hinge, footwell, at some cable connectors) that i see sign of...

Hi Friends. My question what type of correlation between center of gravity and roll stability? is it linear or non linear ? i made some search and found this study: https://www.hamilton.ie/selim/SolmazAkarShorten_Yale08.pdf But it is too technical to understand for me. Regards.

Hi. İ had Yokohama Geolandar H/T G039 265/70R16 when i posted this tread. i switched back to stock size, 255/65/R16. Continental Front, Michelin Rear Not only did Rim/Tyre ratio visually make it look better, but swaying reduced IMHO, and ride comfort improved. With old tyres, car in stationary...

Hi Friends. Please correct if i am wrong, If we upsize tire diameter by 10%, we would feel the sluggish acceleration all the time? Because depending on the gear and our cruising speed, most of the time, engines are running at lower than optimal RPM range where it can deliver decent amount of...

Hi. Not sure if this is correct forum for this type of question. Sorry if not :) When i removed bumpers i found out that rear bumper reinforcement bar was bent. Seemingly, it successfully protected body of the car from the damage in the past. But if it is hit again, it wont have enough room for...

Hi. İ want to change color of my car from black to white. i prefer single stage acrylic AkzoNobel paint For white color, Single stage 2L costs me 30$. As opposed to 2 Stages, two liters of which with clear coat at Sikkens, Standox or Glasurit cost almost 170$. Also painter charges me more if it...

Hi. W163, ML320. Installed 20mm Spacers on front, and it had improved look significantly. It run without an issue for a year, now planning to install rear ones. Just for look. But i think its effects (good or bad) on the car is more than a look Theoretically spacers would increase the load on...

Hi. Mercedes W163 ML 320 2002. 250K KM on it. Power steering Rack was leaking since i bought the car. Very common issue with this model. A year ago I found the most well known P/S mechanic in the country, a friend of my cousin. He inspected and said, in my case it is leaking from steering shaft...
