    Strange acceleration vibration/shudder

    Hi , I've just bought my first merc...an old 2004 C220 2.2 diesel and it's got a weird vibration sometimes when accelerating hard. I read the service history, and no mention of transmission fluid ever being changed, so I've ordered the bits to do that, just wondered if anyone had experienced...

    C200 Blue Efficiency Gearbox Issue

    Dear members. I am throwing myself out there to the mercy of you all in the hope that someone can shine some light on an issue I am having with my 2011 c200 Cdi. During summer, the car was magic but recently, as it's colder, selecting gears in the morning has been a right arm ache. It's...

    W124 auto gearbox noise

    W124 E280 1995 auto estate: I'm getting what I can only describe as a whining noise coming, I think from the gearbox when the car is on the move. The noise changes in pitch as the car accelerates, becoming less noticeable when it's cruising in top. The noise also occurs under deceleration. Any...

    W208 CLK55 Gearbox Oil

    Hi All I seem to remember reading that although the Gearbox was "sealed for life", it is now recommended that the oil is changed. If this is the case, does anyone know at what mileage intervals this should be done and also what the oil specification is ? Thanks in advance. Phil

    W220 320 CDI - Vibrating TC & LubeGard Additives...

    Right oh! So, today did the LubeGard treatment. New ATF (about 4.5L worth, so quite a decent amount) and 2 tubes of this. Long story short - no noticeable improvement. Yeah the vibration is a tad less, sure, but you might as well put it down to new ATF. I suppose saying NO improvement is a bit...

    Hi, I had quite a moment on the M25 today when my S320 CDI without any warning lost drive. All I felt was complete lack of throttle response before the car coasted to a halt. With the engine off drive was restored but only for a few hundred yards, then lost again. I tried this a couple of times...

    ML270 CDi Power Steering / Gearbox noise

    I have seen a few threads about a whining noise on the ML270 CDi occurring when accelerating hard, possibly with some steering lock on at the same time. I had this issue and first thought that it was coming from the gearbox, or transfer box :shock: The noise would go away after a few...

    W220 320 CDI - Torque Converter Recon Needed?

    Hello, A while back I posted about an issue I was having with my W220... between 1100 and 1300 RPM I would get the "rumble-strip" vibration. We changed the fluid to 236.14 Fuchs, new filter, and, for a while, all seemed well. There still was some very mild vibration, but it was tolerable...

    S600 Gearbox is lunched

    Hi all, Replacement for the above (1996 5-speed) seems to be £2500 from a gearbox specialist in Bristol. Killer money, though I'm sure fine value ;) Looking for a specialist for a second hand unit or a specialist breaker in the South West I guess. Any ideas welcome. Rgds and thanks Nick

    5-speed Getrag

    Hi, I just replaced the gearbox in my son's 1986 280GE. It is a 5-speed manual Getrag box, and was replaced due to syncring failure. The 'new' box, however, has a rather whiney noise on 2nd and 3rd gear, almost like it was reversing. I thought I'd change the oil, but wanted to ask first...
