I am taking everyones advice re my dodgy torque converter and have arranged for someone who knows what he is doing to flush out & replace the oil. MB recommend that it takes 16 litres of gearbox oil to do this (on top of the flushing oil)- this seems to be on the basis that you lose the first 8 litres or so as part of the flushing operation. I'm ok with this but MB quote £10.50 per litre - thats &168, a lot of cash especially as, if it doesnt fix the problem, it will all have to be discarded & replaced when I get a new TC. Can anyone recommend a cheaper place to get approprate transmission oil? The MB reference for the oil is MA001 989 68 03/13 GO20920 (022)

Failing that try eBay for some Febi ATF.
