2003 c240 4matic wagon
glycol in transmission looking for input
well Im 99% sure my 03 c240 4matic wagon has glycol in the tranny
(sample goes out to blackstone this am)
tranny started shifting poorly then "bucking" day before i got a howling at 2200-2500rpm
car was driven maybe 50km after howling started and 2km when bucking started
so i parked the car checked the rad and found the dreaded valeo rad
Im LONG out of warrenty I had an at fluid and filter change 10000,km ago at MB
fluid currently looks brownish black
Im hopeing a flush will fix it has anyone here had success just replaceing rad and doing a full flush?
what about goodwill from MB Canada? any chance there since they have know about this problem from day 1

MBWorld Fanatic!
This problem has been discussed before. Radiator replacement and a tranny flush should fix the problem.
