507 Gearbox Problem
Hello guys,
My name is Fernando, I live in Chile and I am new to the fórum, eventhough I followed the forums prior to the purshase of my C63 507 Edition and during the almost 6 months that it took to arrive.
I refer to the forum to see if someone has experienced the same problem I had with my car, which is that with only 600 Kms. (390 milles) it started smoking because of a leak of the gearbox coolant, caused by faulty o-ring (so they said). They took 1 day to fix it and returned the car but only after 1.000 kilometers of the intial repair, it happend again. This time, they took 3 weeks to solve it and they informed that they have changed the entire hose. Now the car is 3.700 Kms (2.400 milles) and the car started smoking again.
I suspect now that the problem is not a faulty o-ring or hose but a more serius problem with gearbox and I would like to know if any of you have had a similar problem and also what, in your opinion, to expect from the dealer, which is the oficial importer for all MB lineup.
Kindest regards and I hope that more experienced people, like many of you are, can orient me

You will get a better response if you post in the W204 forum, not here.
