E350 CDI W212
My W212 is booked in for a service with Alex Crow on 3rd Feb. It's only an A service - all the filters and brake fluid were done last year during the B service. The mileage will be around 207K. I have asked for the Atf fluid to be changed ahead of schedule - due around 225k as the box is a bit jerky in E and the TC has never been drained, which will be done. I've also asked for a coolant change as the coolant was topped up at various times when my EGR valve was replaced, and mainly for peace of mind.
Should I be looking at anything else whilst it's there? Some front suspension parts were replaced over the last couple of years as well as engine mounts. I'll ask him to have a good look at the rear subframe too.
Thanks

Rear diff oil , cheap job as the car is up in the air doing the gearbox service .
I thought Alex was retiring at Christmas , is he still there or is Nick running it now ?
 
Red turbo seal maybe worth checking and PCv pipes.

Well I spoke to Alex to book in last week and he didn't mention retirement. The rear diff oil was changed @100k - would it need doing again?
