4.0 V8 engine reliability and maintenance
Based on your experience, what can you say about the reliability of the all-aluminum
 and common-rail  4.0 liter V8 diesel engine found on '01 W220 S400CDi? Can the oil, oil-filter, air filter and diesel filter be easily changed in this engine by an rookie-DIY'er?

From what I've seen they are still pretty easy as far as changing fluids. There have been a few threads here of complaints of smoking, low power and a really nasty noise at startup in an ML400 CDI. (If you want an MP3 of that ML400 e-mail me and I will send it to you.)

Wow, that engine sounded sick and anemic...
Compared to a 617 anyways, with the nice...."truda trudaaavrrmmmm...." startup sound.The bass sound put out by a 617 is greatness.... It just sounds "tough".

I'd kill to get one on this side of the pound. For some reason MB keeps all the best models in Europe.

Me too. I'd not mind dropping a sprinter 2.7 I5 cdi and tranny into my SD though, that'd be pretty awesome. 179hp and 260lbs of torque? Sounds good!
