Hi Guys,

So, my service A is coming up in like 16dys and I am planning to DIY it.

This is what I have planned to do.

Change oil using Mityvac using 0W40 Mobil 1
Replace the air Filter using the posted DIY
Replace the Cabin Filter.
Check all fluid levels.

BTW have alreday bought all the OEM stock that I would need from europeanparts.com

Is there any thing else that I should change/replace/topoff. If I am missing any thing please let me know.

If there is a thread already that has covered this please post a link and I will close this thread. My searches did not reveal anything.

Thankx in Advance for your help.

Thank you
Javvy

You may want to consider the following:
brake fluid flush
fuel filter
trany oil
coolant
differential oil

WOW! Isn't that a B Service?

AdidasC230

no a b service is just an A with more inspections basically, whats above is pretty standard for a 50K service, which may happen to fall on an A or B cycle so it would be in addition to an A or B.

Javvy you're perfectly fine bro. The only thing I would add is Brake Fluid Flush if you haven't done so already and Transmission Oil and Filter change.

Fuel filter is at 65k (next service) and 91k is Sparkplugs and Coolant is 143k (no worries on that).

I say Transmission Oil and Filter change would be the most important.

Javvy, check out parts.com they usually are the cheapest for OEM stuff

Just do the standard service plus at your mileage.

- Flush brake fluid every 2 years - you could leave this till your B comes up.
- You really should do a transmission fluid & filter change if it has never been done. +1 Karo

Javvy

thankx every one for all your help........I was leaning towards a Tranny oil change as well, but should I do the mity vac suck and top off, or should I drop the pan replace filter inside(I guess thats where ths filter is) and change tranny oil..........I know I will not be able to get to the oil trapped in the radiator line.........but I will get to most of it........any suggestion.......

Javvy

thankx karo for the detailed break down of the service interval.........

Glyn M Ruck

Javvy - You need to pull the pan to change the filter & flush the cooler lines. You can't really flush the TC.

Does your 4Matic have the 722.6 5 speed or 722.9 7 speed? 5 Speed I think - Yes? The 7 speed has no dipstick tube.

Let us know & we will find the method - Also see DIY consolidated thread in stickies

"have the 722.6 5 speed or 722.9 7 speed"........... I have no idea is there a specific place that I should look up this information...........I am screwed if I dont have a tranny dip stick...dropping the pan is a big PIA.........and then filling it up is another PIA..............but if I have too I will......... thanks Glyn for the DIY........lemme check the engine bay and see if I have a tranny dip stick........will report back....

johnand

You have a 2007, so you have the 7G 722.9 7 speed transmission. There is no dipstick or fill tube. It is filled via the drain plug with an adapter.

Read my post here: https://mbworld.org/forums/3668015-post34.html for info on how to service the 722.9 transmission. If all goes well and I don't get sidetracked again, I will have a DIY write-up done next week.

Javvy

holy shiet..........dame........that is sure a PIA now........

Javvy

johnand, please do I will await your DIY and hold off on doing the tranny oil change. I think I use my Mity vac to pump the tranny fluid using the tool you mentioned will have read up on the mityvac that I have..........

Please don't get side tracked this time and please do the DIY..........and take tons of pictures.........lol

Thankx
Javvy

Glyn M Ruck

John - thanks for clarification. In SA there was a delay in fitting 4Matic W203's with 7G.

johnand

Doh! I am sorry, I was wrong, I somehow missed the whole 4Matic thing. Javvy, you have the 722.6 5-speed transmission and not the 722.9 7-speed. All W203 4Matics have the 722.6 5-speed. Again, I am sorry, my reading comprehension today is complete FAIL

Javvy

so that means that I have a dip stick for the tranny oil..........???????????

patrick_y

I performed my transmission fluid change at the dealer around 35,000 miles. The transmission is something that gets overlooked all the time, make sure you do the transmission fluid!

johnand

No, you have a dipstick tube/fill tube, but no dipstick. You need to buy the special measuring tool to check the fluid level. Here is a good thread to start: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...n-related.html There are lots of threads on servicing the 722.6 transmission.

John.. isn't it the 722.6?

johnand

Yes, I goofed up again. Pretty much ignore everything I posted yesterday. It was one on those days
