- Mercedes C350E 16 Plate Premium Plus
First Post! =]
Mrs bought a c350E with the 7 Speed gearbox, its a 16 plate.
Car drives faultless and its extremely sooth, but equally complicated.
Its on 80k miles, the gearbox is smooth, it can jerk a little when its cold and it changes from 1-2.
I come from VAG cars, dont really know much about Mercedes so my intuition tells me it should be due for a Gearbox oil change. Ive spoken to Mercedes who say it doesnt need a gearbox oil change. I thought id ask on here as, if Mercs are anything like VAGS, the dealers usually know Sqat about thier own cars, its the enthusiasts who are the fountain of knowledge.
Now im pretty sure the occasional jerk when cold is normal, however its best to keeps things healthy before they fail.
So does anyone here know if it is due for a change, whats the ball park figure for an oil change on one of these, and if any specialists could be recommended in the birmingham area?
