When my MY 2013 C180 Estate went in for the scheduled ATF change recently, the garage added £46 to the bill for a new oil pan. They showed me the old one which the mechanic had cleaned up to reveal an area of corrosion on the side which had spread downwards to surround and damage to drain plug...
Hi whilst carrying out oil service I noticed that oil sump is leaking. On closer inspection the seal seems to be some type of sealant I was wondering what type of sealant this is and whether it can be done by myself I would be grateful if any of the experienced members could provide a detailed...
Hello all,
I've just bought a 2002 E220 cdi Estate Diesel. I want to change the oil, but haven't succeeded in getting the front of the car up on the ramps yet as the front lower body panel fouls on the ramps before the front wheels reach them. No doubt I'll figure out a way of getting the front...

Hi I did a search and couldn't see an answer. Attempting to change my tranmission fluid, filter, pilot bushing.
I managed to loosen the sump cover bolts so they are good to go - they were easy.
But the T30 TORX sump plug is rock solid.
Tried an extension on TORX tool socket, no joy...
Hi all,
My 2003 E220 CDi S211 Estate had for the last 6 months a small leak from the front vertical side of the Engine OIL SUMP. The sump had gone porous from the FRONT (not far from where its screwed into engine) and oil would seep out through the metal on to the anti roll bar and then to...

Does anyone know where I can buy a sump plug washer for C180 W202? Eurocarparts don't stock them and the ones on Ebay are over £5 which seems a bit expensive.
Hi guys
Noticed a bit of oil leak from the bottom sump seal
Took to a local garage and the guy the said that to change the oil sump seal he needs to take the engine out and he quoted me for that
Is that really that big job and how much roughly it would cost
Thanks in advance
