Re: Have any of you ever done the 9G transmission service yourself?

After seeing the tap in action on YouTube, I get your point. I certainly enjoy a good challenge from time to time. Your wise counsel is much appreciated.

Have any of you ever done the 9G transmission service yourself?

Good day everyone, So, the 2017 E350d has the 9g box; MB had it done at 31,000 miles before I purchased it, a couple years ago. The car is getting close to 60,000 miles and will easily surpass this if we visit France again this summer. By that point, if anyone can manage to buy diesel! It appears co...

Re: At just over 5,000 miles, the "Service Engine Soon" message and wrench icon were visible.

In regards to the frequency of oil changes: Despite manufacturers' claims of 10,000-mile service intervals, there are good reasons to not go that far between oil changes. Combustion ring wear is accelerated in a turbocharged engine due to the greater temperatures and pressures experienced during ope...

Re: Issues with M254

Also, it seems like there are problems with the cylinder heads. However, it appears that the recorded failures were only with the early production units, therefore by 2022, the issues had been resolved?

Re: Restocking on the Steering Rack

The service printout contains the part numbers. From what I can tell, the part number you're looking for is KJK8-32-110C. The third iteration of the rack, 110B, is the one I finally settled on.

Re: Restocking on the Steering Rack

The possibility that they install an outdated version should cause you concern. Even though my Dealer said they wouldn't, they went ahead and did it anyhow. Reason given: we are obligated to implement their suggestions. Fake news.

Re: The 2019 Mercedes-W205 C200 AMG High-Efficient Vehicle has gearbox issues.

I took the car for a spin yesterday after resetting the automatic gearbox; the gearbox performed well during the half-hour ride. As expected, the gearbox worked smoothly through all speeds, both up and down. Since I purchased the vehicle at 5,000 miles, the gearbox has not been serviced. One Mercede...

Your information is greatly appreciated. I was not informed of any updates when my car was last serviced at the MB dealer in 2023.
There are no upcoming updates for this vehicle according to Mercedes-Me.
