Is it a facelift as you can get 11 plate old shape ?

My independent said that a c220 is 50k at £200 I've just had my E220 changed at 66890 miles but it didn't need doing until 72k but got it done cost for E220d £400 as filter is built into the oil pan

The filter isn't built into the pan, but the pan needs to be removed to change the filter. The sump magnets also have to be cleaned or changed, genuine parts alone are around £150 if anyone fancies DIY.

The filter is built into the pan on the 9G gearbox which is fitted to the W213.

Make sure that whoever does the ATF change includes draining the TC as well.

You might be able to get it done under a Service Care Plan. If your car is the facelift with the 7g+ box, then it is due it's second ATF change this year and should be covered. Other than that, a good independent specialist.

Oh my, my old C220 from 2011 I don't think ever had it changed and I was at 220,000 miles

I “think” it’s a one off (once only ) change of atf on the 7g+ with MB ?

The 7g+ is 'every', the 9g is 'once at', but in typical MB fashion there are always exceptions so best check on ESS to confirm.

My 2012 c204 is "once at"

Hmmm.... that is unusual.

EDIT: unless your C204 is a C63?

 

[Spider10]
