So i had my C63 serviced the other day at my local main dealer. I checked the oil after about a 10 mile trip and it was already pretty black. Is this normal? My other cars when recently oil changed all have amber colored oil for a fair distance. My C63 has only covered 40k. I have a...

Guys i have no idea on the work involved in changing the gear box oil but surely £2360 is really on the steep side? I have not changed my gearbox oil on my Mercedes but have never spent anywhere above a few hundred pounds. Can anyone tell me what they have spent? Here the advert showing...

Hi Have a SL320 R129 - runs well. Noticed some red oil last summer, had it checked and nothing serious found. Seemed to resolve. Same thing when we started using it more this year but seemed to stop after using a bit. Went away for 3 weeks and some stains again. ?automatic transmission...

I have a 59 plate E250 Saloon. I have a coolant leak from the hose that leads from the top of the oil filter housing down towards to the oil cooler. Oil cooler I assume is attached to the oil filter. The leak isn't from the top of the hose on the fuel filter housing but the bottom section that...

Hi, I've got a 2012 W204 C250Cdi. I'm a bit worried that the transmission oil has never been changed in my vehicle. I bought the car at 24,000 miles and did the next B service (circa 31,000 miles) at an MB specialist not at a main dealer. I didn't really think about it as this is my...

I have a 2014 c220 coupe 2014 and i noticed that the coolant liquid needs to be refilled. Strangely the engine oil level is rising and its colour is changing. What could be the problem.

My new car has just rolled 1k miles and a yellow you need oil has popped up on the screen. I contacted my delightfull dealer Inchcape there **** and guess what they've not contacted me I thought they may give me oil due to running in. Guess I'll have to pop into Halfords and buy some.

Hi, quick question. If the inner membrane on an oil separator is split 2/3 of the way around it's outer edge, will this have a detrimental effect on running, I.E loads of black smoke?

Sorry to ask guys but I've followed several YouTube videos about how you're supposed to check the oil level from the display and I get to the screen shown but there's no mention of the oil level! I've double checked the engine bay and can only see one dipstick at the back of the engine but...

Hello I replaced the oil cooler seals today due to a leak. A complete pain of a job due to the tight space. Unfortunately managed to lose one of the bolts. I looked high and low and could not find it. Anybody know where I can get a replacement quickly. Thanks Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
