    Can 7 speed gearbox be serviced ?

    not should. NEEDS TO BE SERVICED ! If you don't service it in time, you risk damaging the torque converter or the gearbox. i didn't service mine till about 125k , when i did the oil and filter were very dirty. i recommend service at every 60k miles or 3 years.

    Mercedes E300- hybrid problem

    Proper diagnostic has been done. Starter motor needs replacing ( altough it works ), cost of part is 430 / cost of labour at dealership is 640 for 4 1/2 hrs of labour. Bloody extortion that is !

    Mercedes E300- hybrid problem

    Thanks Grober i was afraid of that theory too. The thing is, even in SPORT mode, the electric drive still works ( slightly ) or when you kickdown will work continuosly with the combustion engine . I think and hope that this is no more than a relay / solenoid problem OR the TCU might be faulty. >...

    W212 E300 Hybrid Battery Malfunction

    regarding the Auxiliary battery malfunction, i had that too. Merc quoted me 170, i found one at a local shop for about 40 and swapped it. Don't need star to clear anything, just switch you ignition 5 times.

    Mercedes E300- hybrid problem

    I’ve got platinum warranty from RAC, but they are very picky. They said not to go to main dealer. I tried explaining them that the dealer is the only way as it’s high voltage battery and there is risk of electrocution .

If i switch on the engine on...

    Auxiliary Battery dilemma

    Because every model differs. Some of them have it under the dash, others under the seat, others in the engine compartment and ultimately other in the boot. So until they see the actual car they can't say it ! Obviously to see the car would cost £150/hr

    Auxiliary Battery dilemma

    Thanks, it did cross my mind checking there, but as it/s estate it doesn't have spare wheel , it's just the main battery , nothing else. Obviously MB dealership told me it/s by the engine bay but they mistaken that to the RBS, which is completely diferent.
