Hi all.

I'm new to the site, although I have been reading this for a while, and with your help I changed the discs and pads on my 1999 C220 CDI. Since I bought the car in January, I have performed all of the sensible diy servicing jobs;

Oil/Filter changes x 2
Fuel Filter -Forum help again
Air Filter

Garage jobs have been
Had the Air Con repaired (Ouchhhhhhhh)
N/S bottom ball joint replaced - it still creaks at stationary/slow speeds when the wheel is turned to the right though???

Before summer fades away and winter gets here I will do the glow plugs and replace the battery.

I look forward to contributing, and getting help and advice, you have saved me a firtune already.

Oh, by the way, this is my first Merc, and I'm smitten

Hello,
have you changed the ATF (assuming you have an auto box)? Lots of info here and the other forum for it.

Atf

Hi.

No I haven't changed the ATF, my car has covered 132,000miles, 10,000 since I bought it in January of this year. I have this feeling that changing the ATF and associated filter(s) could be tricky. I will check out the forum for advice. The changes are smooth from the auto 'box, but I can feel them.

Thanks for the welcome and advice.
