I found a video, so I understand it now! I hadn't fully understood the overflow tube in the drain bung, but after seeing it I can see it's a nice simple idea Mercedes W204 C Class Transmission Service ATF Fluid Oil Change 7GTronic 722.9 Test 0-60 mph - YouTube

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I've got a couple of questions that would be great if anyone could answer. This would be for changing the transmission oil in my 7 speed S320CDI If I've read and understood correctly, you fill the oil from the drain bung? But I didn't fully understand the...

I would have probably tried an emulator previously, but the reason I now have an S class is due to my E class being involved in an accident with the other driver being at fault and we had a traffic cop witness, but still the insurance company tried to get out of paying, and I had to threaten...

Thanks Diesel Benz - I did check the connectors/plugs to make sure they were clean and secured properly. Is there instructions on here somewhere how to remove the mat or remove the seat cover? I thought I'd seen it on here before but can't find it anywhere - that way I could take it apart and...

I don't really know if I should post here, or the interior section? I have the passenger air bag light 'off' on all the time on my 2006 S320CDI, and I had been told by the previous owner that it had been diagnosed as the passenger seat occupancy mat. I was ordering some parts for the car...

Sorry forgot to add, last year we drove to Austria and Germany and took our 4x4 as we thought it would be safer in the snow, then when we were there, we quickly realised there are hardly any 4x4's, but most cars had winter tyres on steel wheels

I tried a set of winter tyres for my E320CDI W211 last winter, and really was surprised at the difference. Before fitting them I could hardly reverse off of my drive with the Conti sport contact 3's..........fitted Verdestein Wintracs and I was actually looking for slopes to get me stuck (only...

I think it looks good - I'm sure the wheels can be changed easy enough! FWIW, I've bought a few vehicles without driving/testing, some expensive, some not - I kind of like it, and saves a shed load of time looking at stuff lol I had that 'sick feeling' last time I bought a brand new...

As always, this site is always a great source of information! I haven't been on here for ages, and kind of forgot about it:o We're looking at downsizing from our American caravan, which means I don't need my American 4x4 anymore either - so was looking at buying a GL 420 CDI............then I...

I think it's the same old thing of using common sense - Unfotunately there are a lot of brainless idiots behind the wheel, and the Police/Highways Agency tar us all with the same brush so are quick to close roads - but like Bellow said, it you are prepared well and don't mind turning back, and...

Of all the school closures here in Norfolk, and I still have to do the school run on a Saturday morning:doh: But the E class has been tucked up and wont come out until the white stuff has gone:D We are driving to Garmisch, Germany for the Feb half term, and I am really curious to see how the...

I don't know relevant or helpful, but I've had quite a bit of interest from people in France and Spain for a couple of bikes I was selling - I found out that there was some sort of change to their registration process and vehicles with foreign/British plates can no longer be used and have their...

I've got a Halfords own make, and have had it for years - it sits outside looking all dull and a bit scratched, then the few times I do need it, bolt it on and away we go! I didn't think I'd use it very much, but it is suprising how much easier it is to put things in there and not have the boot...

Sorry, I haven't been on here lately as been busy - but just wanted to say how good the service was from Olly's garage. I dropped the car off on a Saturday morning, and left it there for Olly to look at the oil etc.......it needed a full gearbox rebuild inc torque convertor - it was all done...

I hear what you are saying, but he had posted it in the OFF TOPIC section, and as far as forums go, this has got be be the most sensible, and practical forum I'm a member of - I'm a member of a couple of others that are quite a laugh, and I wouldn't dream of asking for help on those - but in...
