Hi all, back after short break (12 years) lol...

[tangray1]

Just purchased a 2016 E class estate, 220 night edition premium,
Lovely car very impressed with the drive, and feeling of quality,
Coming up to 60.000, full Merc history.
Initial thoughts are am I coming up up to a gearbox fluid change ? If someone could advise please.
Nice to be hear again, thank you...

Welcome back, is your E Class a 212 or 213? They changed around then

Lovely. Best looking ships we’ve built since the Counties preceding them, I think. I worked with a guy who was an ex- Glamorous Organ matelot in my last job.

And as it’s car talk, 212s are nice too!

 

[tangray1]

Yes mate, quite agree, great ships in every way....

If you go to a good MB independent it will cost around £120 to have the auto box serviced (which on my C Class included replacement of the fluid).

Frankly, unless you can find proof that it's been done I don't think it's worth the risk. That (relatively) small service cost is a heck of a lot less than an auto box!

 

[tangray1]

Yes fair comment, and good advice cheers ....
