Torque Converter - Gear Box Repairs

[television]

One property of radiator additive is to raise the boiling point of the coolant so as to carry more heat away from the engine.

I am sure it is past your bed time OK lets take it forward some more.

Anti freeze is also a lubricant and corrosion inhibitor. when these test are done there is no visible signs of water or liquid, hence the glycol test, the amount is microscopic and only harmed the components in the torque converter.
I have never had cause to chisel one open to see what is inside, it did though upset the clutch faces that caused the viabrations

So why have MB, in some instances, replaced some transmissions?

 

[BlackC55]

Has anyone tried boiling coolant.

Rather than speculate, when you were with MB did you have any further problems with this fault when the torque converter was replaced through the min amount of glycol

No, never.

When the glycol level was over the top.

I still do not know of one, was a new one fitted, who knows for sure

Regarding the above post..........Please explain why only the torque converter is damaged and not any components within the gearbox.

Oh you got that line from eric, tell you what, you have joined the thread full of hear say, rather than counting sheep why not do a little research your self, If you know nothing about it why are you here other than to find fault with me.

Tell me what I have said that is wrong

There damage is probably so insignificant it not worth worrying about. But the glycol seems to affect the lock up clutch on torque converter. I am sure MB did their research when the problem arised and vcame to the conclusio that this was the most "economical repair". Who really know what damage is done. We certainly do not. Only the boffins at MB head office do.

Okay, you've tried the diversion tactic....i wont bite.....

Let's now be mature about this.......

So, Back to the original question, and let us remember, this is for the benefit of the original questioner...



"Regarding the above post..........Please explain why only the torque converter is damaged and not any components within the gearbox.

Whilst they haven't replaced it as yet they did tell the owner that his gearbox required replacement in post 25 in the thread I referred to earlier. This thread

Fair enough if the 'insignificant damage' was not caused through a faulty design of the radiator........but as this is not the case , why should a consumer, in this case, accept any level of damage?

Who is the one that has to prove if there is damage? Customer or MB if there is no fault showing?

You will not understand this, sadly not everyone on a forum is who they say they are, when I answered threads of electrical faults with the correct answer that solved the problem asked, eric would come on saying that it was not possible, please explain, so me like a mug would explain to him how it worked, yet eric was supposed to be the MB expert and an MB advisor, Panasonic is his friend and plays the same game

 

[BlackC55]

I get it.....

 

[panason1c]

sadly not everyone on a forum is who they say they are

Hmm........someone close by comes to mind!...........now who am i thinking of............television...it's you!!!!!!!!!!!

Who are you really....MB employee?

 

[BlackC55]

I couldnt give a toss who he was as long as the info was and is good.

I know by how a question is asked or answered, if that person knows that much on the subject. having spent 56 years in the service trade, let us say 15 people per day that equals 306600 people or repairs minimum, in the early days it was 30 a day.

When this cools down I may Email you with the answer

Malcolm, please try to restore your credibility and answer this question........

why is only the torque converter damaged and not any components within the gearbox?.
