Have been thinking of changing the ATF as gear changes have been a little rougher than I'd like of late.
One local indy has told me it would cost between £80-£100, which seems fairly reasonable as the general cost seems to be around twice that. I asked if this included the torque converter...
I have a 2006 W203 which is due a B Servie in about 3000 miles, by which time it'll also hit the 37,500 mile mark and will need the ATF changing.
I'm looking at the Mercedes Service Plan, is the ATF change still included? Can I take a service plan out for just the 12months with the B service...
Hi, I'm new to this so sorry in advance I breaking any rules but I have advertised on ebay this atf dipstick I never openned/used:
'Sealey VS1200TD' replacement for Mercedes-Benz Special tool ATF Dipstick 722.6 | eBay
Also, please check my other listings too as I've got another dipstick (for...
Hi guys,
I'm sure its been posted on here before so forgive my adding an extra post but which oil do I need for my 1999 W202 auto gearbox? Any advice greatly appreciated as always. :)
I have a 2000 w202 C240. I recently had it serviced by a independent mobile mechanic.
When I went to check the ATF level I found there was no dip stick so I bought one off Ebay from Poland.
I dipped it this morning after it had been sat all night and the level was just over the maximum...
Hiya, I've checked on the wis for my w210 (which I purchased off Service Manual, Repair Manual, Workshop Manuals Online, Download Manuals for £10 which is an absolute bargin I reckon)
and the ATF it says to use for the 722.6 auto trans is: 'Shell ATF 134' or 'Mobil ATF 134' (without getting...
Hi, Could have been a waste of £5 but thought I'd take a punt on the replacement for the ATF dipstick workshop tool for 722.6## automatic transmissions, especially after the main dealer wanted £47+vat!! I found this £5 replacement on ebay just now:
Mercedes benz automatic transmission...
Hi, I bought my car 3 weeks ago and while looking through these forums and checking the service history it doesn't look like mine has had an ATf change (never had an auto before so unaware)
I'm planning on contacting the delaer tomorrow to see if I can get them to do it, it wasn't from a...
Noticed a bit of thin oil under bumper, examined ATF cooler, leak at top right nozzle (when looking from back), tried to tighten, whole nozzle snapped off.
So I am now the proud owner of an undrivable blue lump. :wallbash::wallbash:
Anyone got one? Or 30 aspirin and a bottle of nice...
My brother in laws W211 320cdi estate is coming up for a D service and he has been recommended an ATF change - the car has done about 37k. He has been quoted £250 by MB - that seems high. Any thoughts?
Hi recent newbie with few other threads ongoing re my 1996 C180 with an auto box 722.6 version fitted.
My regular corner shop local parts man whom I have used for 15 plus years has in stock with the following on the bottle.
Comma ATF.

Driving to visit family on xmas eve i saw a cloud of white smoke/mist behind me, drove on a few miles until I could pull over somewhere safe and all drive had gone. Dound that there was a fluid leaking from under the rad. Got AA to take me to a garage near relatives (only joined for the first...
Quality Granville Fully Synthetic ATF-MV Automatic Transmission Fluid 5LTR | eBay
Found this, allegedly it has the MB236.10 rating and also mentions NAG1.
It's allegedly fully synthetic too
And I've been running it with no problems for the last 10,000 miles.
Might be a worthy alternative...
Hi, due to the cooler pipes rusting thru I think I lost most of the ATF in the gearbox (98 C280 722.6). I drove about 60 miles experiencing the usual symptoms, losing drive, flaring, not selecting any gear etc. I topped up the levels but noticed a burnt smell coming from the filler pipe. Have I...
I've done a fair bit of reading but I'm struggling for a definitive answer. My car is going in for a service to Mercedes Benz Sheffield tomorrow. The car is an 2006 model on 31,000 miles and hasn't had the ATF changed. I'm thinking that this is going to need doing.
I've read on the forums...
^^ Question in the title :))
Im loosing atf and having to top up every week..
Every week beginning I would check my atf and spot it going down,
just wanted to know where its going..
I cant find a leak anywhere as I park on the drive every night after work and its bone dry when I check...
Hi all, I'm looking at a clk 320 cdi at the moment. It has 80k miles and the last ATF change was at 23.5k. Its no problem to get it done if I buy, but are there any potential problems with the car doing 55k with no ATF service?
Thanks in advance
Pete
Can anyone advise on the best way to check ATF on a W203 that has no dipstick. Any other way of checking without Mercedes workshop tool. Does the engine have to be hot or cold, engine running (in gear or neutral or park) or switched off. If anyone can answer questions and/or suggest alternative...
Yesterday had the ATF changed on my 2005 W203 by my local MB main dealer.
On the receipt it itemises the filter, gasket etc. and 4 units (presume litres) of ATF fluid. I understand the auto gearbox holds 7 litres, but I think the torque converter holds 3 litres, which is not normally removed...
