I know the lift pump is the same on some other models like a 190d but I can’t seem to find a gasket anywhere in America . Can I used gasket maker to put it back . One other thing is does the center shaft also spin . I know the pin in the middle moves in and out to pump the fuel but I wasn’t sure about the whole shaft .
Been driving a TDI over the past 10 years, and it was the most reliable car I’ve owned. Sadly it met an untimely end.
Is the ML350 pretty reliable, so long as it’s been well maintained?
I’m currently looking at one with 133k kms. The ad says it’s had extensive maintenance and major preventative repairs:
- Timing chain, guides and tensioner replaced
- Oil cooler seals replaced
- EGR valve replaced
- Intake manifold replaced
- Differential serviced
I’ve read that some people haven’t had any issues, while others have. Wondering if the extensive service is indicative of a problematic car, or genuinely proactive.

Asking price is negotiable at $17.9k CAD, and comes with both sets of tires on alloy rims.
Thanks for your help!
