fluid

Hi there, i am looking at getting either a w124 or w201 as they seem to last quite well in nz. I think the mid 70's mercs used a fluid flywheel in place of a torque converter and pulled away in second as first was too low except on hills or for towing. Do the latter versions use a fluid flywheel...

Hi Guys, my steering is making a groaning noise and when I checked the level it seems to be low, with no sign of a leak. I thought it was just stiffness as we haven't used the car for few weeks since coming back from the MB garage for a replacement air pump as the engine light was on. I know you...

I keep having to top the hydraulic fluid on my 87 560 sec. I checked underneath the car and there are no visible leaks coming from the front or rear. Can there possibly be an internal leak? Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers

can anyone help me out here: where is the top up point for auto transmission fluid: I have found the dip stick with the odd locking mechanism. Also is there a certain routine to follow as I have no hand books with the car. Kind regards Paul:crazy:

Hello how do i check the atf fluid level on my c200? i suspect that the level is low

Does anybody know where the power steering fluid reservoir is on the C63, the steering is making a slight high pitched rubbing type noise, it seems to be coming from the column inside the cabin, it's so trivial I can't be bothered to take it to the dealers and was wondering if it might be low on...

What is the difference between MB hydraulic oil part number 001 989 2103 12 and MB hydraulic fluid 000 989 9103 10 ? What would happen if you mixed the two together ?:confused:

:doh: E320 CDI estate this has suddenly starting to lose a lot of steering fluid whilst on journeys...when I have checked I cant find the source of the leak? I need help..anybody got any ideas where this is going before I become broke keep replacing the fluid??:wallbash:

Most probably a really dumb question, but I can't find anything in the owner's manual. In the Estate, does the rear screen wash come from the tank under the bonnet (i.e same as for the front screen/headlamp wash)? I only ask as my old beemer had a separate fluid reservoir in the rear.

Having spoken to a few people around getting the transmission oil and filter serviced there seems to be some disparity in price. As my car is coming upto 100k and the last change was around 60k I thought it may be time to get it done. I have noticed a very slight whine when cold which suggests I...

Sorry about poor quality, Robs a mech not a cameraman obviously

Hi everyone, I would like to know the significant of changing the brake fluid every 2 years. My local specialist garage had advised me to change the brake fluid of my car as there is no stamp or record in the service book to show it has been done since the car out of the factory in 2002. I have...

The level on my power steering fluid is getting near the minimum mark but on checking the owners handbook theres no mention of what spec to use,i have some that i bought for my old clk from mb spares 2 years ago & wondered if this is ok/is universal for all mb's?

Just been reading the hand book and it says refer to dealer regarding transmission fluid. Do I check it hot/cold? Engine running or not? Fluid spec if it needs a top up? Cheers Jon

Hi, Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I would like the truth from someone really in the know, not just what you think should be done. I have a W204 C180 K. My preference would be to change oil in the gearbox, but at my last service I prompted the dealer about it and had a call back...

Mercedes service dept recommends a service on the auto boxes every 45k , is this correct ?

I have just checked my ATF level, I was expecting colour to be red or black, I was quite surprised to see it was a yellow colour( like fresh engine oil), is this normal or does Mercedes use this colour of ATF. It certainly looks very clean, no traces of black.

Hi Guys Car is due for B service so i asked dealer if autobox fluid would be changed they checked on computer and said no the gearbox is sealed for life. The car is a 57 plate w204 with 38000 having seen post saying its should be changed at that milage just wondered what you guys thought Thank Guys
