Hi Folks, I am really struggling to find the tube for my transmission dipstick as it says E280 OM642 722 Gearbox!

Genuinely stuck!

The 5g (722.6) transmission has the dipstick tube in the engine bay.

The 7g (722.9) and 9g (725.0) transmissions do not have a dipstick tube (as far as I know).

Yep , no tube , the fill and drain is in the sump . There is a plastic tower a couple of inches tall that clips inside the sump drain plug and is vertical, this sets the fluid level .
We have the same 2 cars

Get an ATF and gearbox filter change every 40k miles on that E class gearbox .

As above on oil change. 7 speed has no dip stick oil level is done from underneath via overflow on the filler tube.
