Air filter may need changing.

Is the W204 autobox sealed for life, or is there a drain plug in the torque convertor?...:confused:

I live in the midlands and had it done locally, by two different companies the oil cooler first so I wouldn't get the Valio problem then a few weeks later found I was to late, on a light pedal it was like driving over cobble stones, had it checked on a star, it showed the gearbox was ok, no...

Same car, same problem, I had this last year on my E320 CDi 2004, Valeo radiator, had the torque convertor reconditioned, didn't change the radiator but had the gearbox section drained and blanked off and an oil cooler fitted instead its bolted to the sill in front off the radiator so there is...

I thought the 270 was a 5 cylinder? mine is the 320 il6, fuel consumption is much the same as the 270, the extra power in the 320 is well worth having.
