atf

Hi All Just had the ATF and filters changed at Pro-Tech in Newbury. The old oil wasn't too bad, still had a bit if a red tinge, so clearly the previous owner had the oil changed at some point in the cars life. Even though the old oil wasn't burnt the improvement in the car is shocking - it...

As recommended on this forum, I had my ATF changed at about 50K miles. My W203 is now coming up for 100K miles. Do I need to consider having another ATF change - or do you only ever need to have this fluid change done the once? :confused:

Hi, would I be best to have a warm running engine, a warm turned off engine or a cold engine when topping up all the oil that ejected from the oil cooler pipes? :dk:

Just woundering how much much i can expect to pay for a atf change and what parts and how much oil i would need ? Also how often would i need to do this ?

Hi, Finally managed to get the ATF changed, resolved the problem that I had with jerky gear changes and over revving when changing gears. Now faced with another gear problem, only when braking and the gear changes downwards from 2nd to 1st I'm getting a little jerk just before it stops, very...

Hi, Does anyone know from experience the labour time taken to change the ATF??? I've been quoted 2 hours Thanks

I'm sure I know what the majority of opinions will be, but here goes anyay!! Halfords are currently selling 5ltrs of Comma ATF fluid for £15 which means I can change the fluid in my car for £30 (plus filter and gasket). The fluid is DEXRON 11/11D/11E/111 spec so should be up to the job. Has...

My friend has a 2000 (X reg) 1.2 16v Auto Vauxhall Corsa (last of the Corsa B shape) He wants to change the ATF as the car has now done 50K miles. He phoned three different Vauxhall dealers and got three different answers as what ATF to use. Obviously he wants to ensure the correct ATF is...

Hi guys, I would be very grateful for your urgent help. I noticed last night that oil was dripping from the bottom of the car. Fearing the worst, I took it to a garage this morning who have confirmed that the ATF pipe under the radiator has corroded. I now need to make a 250 mile...

I parked the merc in the garage. The following day i jacked the back up & replaced the rear suspension springs. I completed this task with ease, BUT, noticed Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) on the floor, about half a litre. I left it jacked up & this morning there is more oil on the floor...

Been reading my service book. It says an ATF change is needed at 60k km. It also states it's a one off change. This equates to 37500 miles. My car has now done over 80k miles. Should I have it done again, stick to their one off change or just leave it for a while but have a second change soon...

Anybody know where I can obtain a dipstick for a 722.6 trasmission , tried my local dealer , but cant/wont supply .. Or supply me with ,part number , cheers .

Just had my ATF changed in my W211 by Ollie and although gears were changing quite smoothtly before the change, I can't even notice gears shifting after ATF change. Great job. Definitely recommended.

I have a 560SEC and would like to change the transmission fluid and egnine oil as it has been standing for about 5 years. my local mercedes dealer has quoted £85 for the transmission fluid but this sounds a bit much is there an other source for this? I have asked my local auto parts shop but...

HI All, Over the last two days, my W140 has lost all its power steering fluid and now the steering groans etc. Not sure if its the pump thats gone, or a hose. I've heard you can use ATF instead of power steering fluid - can I top it up with that to drive it to the garage? (I have some of...

Was in the motor factors today, there was a green W124 outside too, so I bought two 1 litre cans of cheap ATF for £4 each. I'm outside with the bonnet of my W124 up and the other fellow comes up as starts asking "Burning oil?" and then he notices I'm tipping the ATF into the rocker filler...

Hi guys, I am having some problems with my W209, hope you can help?? It is a W209, 2005, @ 58,000 miles. Problem is that when I break (rather gently), the car jerks when it is about to stop. No funny noise, it just jerks when it is about to stop. It has been happening before, on and...

To cut a long story short - my E320 CDI (W211) should have been going in to get the ATF and filter changed tomorrow, but is now not the case, so I bought the filter, gasket and oil from my local MB dealer for me to carry out the oil and filter change today - then the plan was to drive it to the...
