This is why never buy a used car with mods that weren't done by a major reputable shop

I'm a qualified mechanic in the business 15 years, also installed a ess supercharger kit a e93 m3 which was perfect. let me explain something to you when you go for a service at your local Mercedes dealership have a look in the workshop and all you see is 16 year old boys working on your car who have no idea and maybe 4 senior mechanics who know there stuff i actually work at a Mercedes dealer before opening my own shop.
all i have to do is find out the procedure of filling transmission oil

You worked at MB and don't know of or have access to Star Tek? All technical repair documentation is there: https://www.startekinfo.com/StarTek/

It's not free, but maybe you have a bud working at a MB dealership that can give you a login?

Didn't know qualified mechanics / previous Mercedes mechanics come to on-line forums for technical advice. Scary.
