Replaced the Radiator recently (thanks to Malcolm for finding the how-to guide!) and then took my w124 e220 into an indie to have the ATF and filter changed.

Since getting the car back the gearchanges are slightly smoother but the car does not creep forward quite as positively in either D or R. I've checked that there are no leaks at all, so wondering if this is normal?

Thanks,

Ben

I would not worry about that Ben,,its not a fault or issue,,any creep is often linked to the idle speed anyway,,my late car rolls back when it should not when cold.

Thanks for the update on your post

Thanks Malcolm, glad to hear I'm worrying about nothing as usual, I guess the fact I've noticed a difference shows the ATF change was probably needed!
