My car has done 39000 miles and I decided to get the ATF and filter renewed today along with the Rear Diff oil..
I thought the gear changes were very good as they were but decided on a course of preventative maintenance as I intend to keep this car for quite a while..
I took my car to Ian Walker...
Hi Guys
I have a little question !
I want to change the ATF on my w202 c200 via a pneumatic pump witch I use normally for changing the oil !
If there is a room for a dipstick to rich the bottom to check the oil level that means is room for the pneumatic pump long stick to extract the oil or...
Hi all,
I am giving very serious thought to getting an ATF cooler fitted and the Valeo Radiator ATF cooler disconnected.
I know this has been done but I dont know by who..
So If you have had this precautionary mod done can you tell me where you had it done, How much it cost and are you happy...
Just had an ATF and filter change on my '98 C240. My what a difference.
And at £106 all in with MB fluid and filter it didn't hurt the pocket too much either.
Creevy Autos are top chaps.
Hi all, I was driving my E430 estate today. No problems until I stopped at a roundabout and had the tell-tale slip and a bit of judder when pulling away. Drove for another 2-3 miles on a dual carriageway to a carpark at about 40-50mph, it was slipping a bit. Slowed to enter the carpark up a...
I would like to express my thanks to Oliver at PCS I popped in, only to have my air con recharged/checked and Oliver suggested I have an "ATF" as it wasn't mentioned in my Service book. So I booked it in.having had the car back within the hour I drove a completely different E320 home GREAT STUFF...
The 98 C240 I've bought has a good service history but there's no evidence of the ATF having been changed.
What's the view on this? The car has 84K miles and is 13 years old. Gear change is clunky when cold but ok when warm. Kickdown is fine. Sluggish on downshift when a little more torque is...
After much debating I took the plunge with the assistance of a good mechanic friend to change the oil on my C320 CDI at 75k despite that it is not necessary to change it according to the MB service team. (once it is done at 39k it is not needed to change again.)
All I can say is I was amazed...
Hello
After my car was found to have the coroded oil cooler pipes its had new ones fitted and a ATF change with filters.
WOW what a difference, its probably just been getting worse over time I guess and towing the van probably finished it off last week :) losing the fluid was making the...
Hi all,
I have a 1996 e220 coupe and there is a slight howl coming from the diff. As a low cost treatment i have thought about changing the diff oil first to see if it makes a difference.
As this is my first MB, i asked a retailer for advice on which fluid to use...
His suggestion was...
Hi all
The good news is that my long running r129 saga is drawing to a positive end. She has an engine and gearbox installed and they both seem to work (!!!) and today she was pronounced healthy by that man that issues those green pieces of paper!!!!!
However
she has an ATF leak, and...
I asked MB, they said sorry we don't know we just have a part number. €13.50 +vat. I asked how much to do it for me and they said about 2.5 hours ?!!:eek: At €90 an hour ? JUST to top up the atf !:( Crazy talk thats what i think.
Anyway if anybody knows is it regular or other that i need ...
E270 CDI 142,000miles running like a dream but a question?
Can anybody tell me when the ATF gearbox fluid needs changing and if the filter needs to be changed..any advice :dk:
whats the best fluid ?
Hi All,
I have a slight leak from the gearbox, I got my gf's cousin who works for Land Rover as a mechanic to look at it and he said the gasket is perished and needs replacing.
He's got the oil and gasket but is struggling to find the special dipstick you need - he's tried a few Merc...
I've recently acquired a year 2001 E430 Avantgarde.
VIN: WDB 2100702 with the 113940 engine.
The manual doesn't go out of its way to tell me which transmission model it has or what the ATF spec is.
Any advice re ATF, please.
It's got about 125000 miles on it and has probably never had a...
I have suspected for a while that my transmission is low in fluid. The car doesnt come with a dipstick and mb want silly money to check it.
So i have acquired a dipstick, looks homemade, but it reaches the bottom of the gearbox. The min and max lines have been worn off - can anyone tell me the...
