Also, replace fuel filter every 20,000 miles? Really? Seems excessive.
20k fuel replace should only be on a diesel. Otherwise its part of the pump and I wouldn't change it till it fails... ie mine is about to fail after 135k plus miles and 11+ years

Is that $245 for just the oil separator (fuel filter) or for other 60,000 mile service included?
The oil separator may just be the fuel filter top left of engine compartment. About a $25 to $50 part. two hose clamps and one screw to loosen. The hose clamps are click type (and replacement should be with the same type or high pressure fuel hose clamps.
The air filters are harder to replace.

E320 Bluetec 2008
Hi,
I have a 2008 e320 Bluetec.
I changed my transmission fluid in the 7 speed and also the torq converter.
What FSS do I enter to let the car and future owners know that the transmission was serviced?
My booklet says 20 but there is no option for 20 in FSS.
There is a WSS option 16.
Does anyone know what that is for?

Here you go. The key is to press the reset 3 times. Pre-2006 you had to press and hold.

I posted the ones for the E Class. Not sure about the GL but that should be pretty easy to find. Let me know if you have any issues with it.

Hi,
Many thanks. From the service sheet, it looks like #20 would be the one for servicing the tranny fluid.
But, from the FSS that's in the car, I do not have a number 20 as an option to select.
The highest number that I can select is number 16.
Your sheet shows number 16 as not applicable.

Anyway, does anyone have any ideas why my FSS doesn't show number 20?
Maybe I need to get an updated firmware for my car? I'm guessing that when the car shipped they did not think replacing the tranny fluid was going to be needed but later they advised to change tranny fluid...

Does the list in the first post relates to UK versions as well? i.e. FSS Plus system.

Many thanks

I believe most of the items are the same. Your service booklet should include 90% of the items though

Thanks for the quick reply Gersh320. I checked my car system and it has '16' under Service items - 1,3,4,6,16,13. The list given in the first post doesn't have '16' in it. Hence the initial question. I'll check the service booklet to see if it shed some light on '16'.

2007 driver side seat swap

Will the bottom driver sides eat cushion from a 2003 211 directly bolt into a 2007 211? My leather is torn and I have the opportunity to buy the entire bottom cushion from a 2003. Please let me know your thoughts. The cushions look identical.
