Having Auto Gearbox oil changed on Friday (C220 CDi Tip).
At Mercedes Direct in Walsall. Didn't think their price was too bad at £150 to include VAT, Oil and filter and check on harness seal for leakage. Main Dealer wanted £220.
Most indies seem to quote £110-£140 plus VAT.
car has done 68kmiles and I found no evidence of it being changed at the recommended 37.5K so I thought it best to get it done.
Gearbox operates as smooth as silk at the mo so I'm not expecting to notice any difference but you never know!
Also having car starred so I can get a readout of the DPF condition for £25. Will results post if it raises any queries or if anyones interested.
PS is it worth getting that harness seal changed as a matter of course or leave well alone if it looks ok?
Is it worthwhile getting a jar of the old oil to examine/keep for future ref?
Cheers....
