W205 c400 2015
Question C400 service question

So I bought a 2015 c400, 333hp 4matic at 187.000 kilometers(or 116.000 miles).
I changed the motor oil filter,motor oil, air filters immediately, and I saw that the automatic transmission gear oil has been changed at 148.000. What is the recommended interval for transmission gear oil change?

Also,I got an error "Auxilliary battery malfunction". I lookek up on the internet and found out that it is just a backup battery, but still not clear what it does, and should I get it fixed immediately? Here in the Netherlands they ask €300 to fix it.

I would be really glad if somebody could help me.

Manual shows the interval for trans fluid. I would follow that. the 722.9 isnt too difficult to change it on but you do need a special tool.

Aux battery and module is in the passenger footwell under the carpet and they tend to have capacitors go bad over time. This prevent the eco start/stop from functioning correctly. If the 300 includes battery, module and labor its not a terrible price assuming you want the stat/stop to function again.

That has to be the most mile ive seen on a M276 DELA 30 motor. good to know they last a while.

The funny part is that the start/stop system works perfectly fine(at least for now). 🤔

Ive seen weirder things happen.
My start/stop doesnt work anymore (slowly stopped doing it over like 6 months) but i have no warning or lights on. Not complaining though as i dont like the "feature".
