Hello all,

Can someone tell me where I can find the transmission fluid dipstick please?

I know there is no actual dipstick, but where do i find the tube?

Its a W209 CLK 320 Auto, 2003

There is a tube at the rear of the engine with a black cap on, but I think thats the engine oil one.

Helllllpppppp, its driving me crackers!
 
The oil tube has a red cap usually,
black with small red locking tab is transmission .
 
Yes thats the one - although mine had a red tab on it.
 
The engine oil will probably be opaque and black in colour unless its brand spanking new. The gearbox fluid will be transparent and usually red in colour.
 
I have read somewhere that you have to take the engine covers off to get to the trans dipstick, and this is what is adding to my confusion!
