My R230 SL did not have an ATF change in its service schedule although many people took the view it should be changed at about 50 k miles
At my MB dealer yesterday I was quoted for a further service plan beyond the 2 year plan I had to take it to 5 years. It transpires that my R231 does have a service schedule that includes ATF change... at £750!!. Are they taking the proverbial? It seems very steep to me. I am a fan of sticking to full mbsh as I value mobilo, particularly for my annual euro trip. However at this price, not to mention the other service costs, I am heading for my indie!
Is £750 correct?? Is the oil liquid gold?
Now that MB don't provide service books it's very hard to find out exactly what service items are required until your dealer stuffs you
