Hi Joe - you posted the information in the thread on replacing the inner track rod (tie rod) and outer tie rod, but it was for w212's with hydraulic steering. I'm not sure if that applies to cars with electric steering. Can you take a look based on my VIN to see if WIS lists the steps for the inner and outer rods? My VIN is WDDHF7GB7EA984434.

Rear differential fluid
Hi Joe,
Can I have the instruction for rear differential fluid change please? If possible, I would like to know what kind of fluid and part numbers for the drain & fill plugs as well. Thank you so much.

The fill and drain plug part number is A3529970032. The other attachment is the MB gear oils spec. You're looking for the 235.61 spec for your 218.374 car. I used the Castrol as per the link below in my car.

Thank you.
Attached is the procedure. However, the procedure tied to your VIN indicates you have an LSD which is option code 471. Your datacard does not have the 471 listed. So, I'm not sure if you have LSD or not.

Not sure what to tell you about the LSD. Your VIN datacard says no LSD, but WIS procedure for the same VIN indicates it's for LSD rear end. Very strange. Perhaps someone else will respond with better info.

I did the wheel spin test. Lifted the car up, put on N, spin the rear wheel on 1 side, the other wheel stayed still. That indicates I have standard differential and the oil specs is 235.7, 75W-85, correct?
Updated: Called MB dealer, provided them with VIN, they gave me Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 85W-140. I am so confused.

Hopefully someone can jump in with knowledge.

Rear main oil leak
Hey joe-
I was gonna see if you could get me info to replace the rear main seal. I think dropping the transmission would be the easiest but not sure on all the specs. It’s probably a lot of info for everything 😬
it’s a 2014 E63 S
vin WDDHF7GB6EA881215
thank you!

While your in there……
I’d do the water pump and plastic cooling lines while your in there. Ifs not a fun job changing the worlds most expensive plastic thermostat the only thing worse would be going back in a month later to replace the water pump and cooling lines……. It’s a thing trust me. If Check all tensioners and idlers while your in there.

In case you need the part number for the thermostat/housing assembly, it's A2782000615.
