SlayNeo Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 After having my gearbox serviced by Mercedes of Macclesfield Cheshire, I noticed that my car was functioning properly for two days. However, I now experience a noticeable jolt when selecting the drive mode. The only changes made during the service were the replacement of the gearbox fluid, filter and magnets. Prior to the service, my car was functioning fine. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and do you have any suggestions on what course of action I should take? Macclesfield is obstructing my progress; they have also shown the same behaviour about the suspension springs. They abscond with your funds and then conceal themselves!

AmericaMonster Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Therefore, what is the rationale for placing confidence in them once again and opting to bring a vehicle of such advanced age to the authorised dealership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiantecon Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Is it necessary to reset adaptations for MB automatic transmissions after changing the fluid and filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlayNeo Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 I also own a 1990 R129, which I myself maintain. I have a preference for older Mercedes vehicles. When it came to servicing my W212, I had two options: taking it to Mercedes or an independent service provider. I inquired about the service at the independent provider, but their response was unsatisfactory. As the vehicle approached 140,000 km, I deemed it wise to have the gearbox serviced. Hopefully, it adequately addresses your inquiry. The box required maintenance to ensure its longevity. I first believed that these remarks were intended for providing advise. I own another item, namely a 123, which is located in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericaMonster Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 The purpose of the remarks is to provide guidance or recommendations. It is possible that the fluid level is incorrect. Regardless of the issue, the dealer should evaluate the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captiva Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I would have expected Mercedes to do a thorough gearbox fluid replacement. It is possible that the failure of another component, such as the conductor plate, is only coincidental. Out of curiosity, what false or misleading information did the independent person provide you with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosaStyle Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 The most prevalent problem with these vehicles is the fluid level, since they are very sensitive to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
