Hi.
My w213 e63s seams to have the stop start jerkness in slow moving traffic, having read up on this seams to be fairly common with c/e63's.
So anyhow decided to treat her to a gear box service at an independent. When the indy opened up the box they found some metallic stuffs stuck to the magnets, I've attached photos. From what I've read there should have been a gearbox service after run in, which I've confirmed with Mercedes didn't happen. So we opted for a quick refill and then will be drained and fully serviced after about 400miles. The idea being that if anymore bits should show up its due to a bigger issue and not just the run in stuffs left behind. Warranty should cover any expensive issues so at this point not overly concerned.
I've tried to find more information about refill oil amounts and service intervals but I'm confused.
How much oil does the gearbox need to refill?
As its a 9g mct box does the wet clutch need oil? If so how much?
I've seen details that range from 5l to 10l.
Mb quoted me a total of 8l
Also a bit confused with the torque converter/ mct differances to be honest, I'm not a mechanic so any info on this would be helpful to me so I can understand a bit better.
Thanks
