We only had time for a quick video this week, but we have some really good projects coming up so please like and subscribe and we will try and keep the content coming. All the best to everyone and thanks for watching.
Loving the vidz Sam. You’re looking more comfortable too. Would love to see you open up some old 70s 80s 90s classics as well as all these AMG beasts. 🥇
Just figured out that you can do this with an Autel MK808S -- you don't need the MB scan tool. It does the same procedure (bleed not running, bleed running, increase idle while you adjust oil level). Great video!
Awesome video. Curious you didn't torque the pan in the MB suggested sequence, but i guess that's more of just to be sure thing. The pan is very rigid and the gasket is also very high quality so i think there is a pretty large margin to work with. Thanks for the awesome video, love seeing indy shops do these types of jobs most Benz owners would rush to the dealer and pay top money for.
Excellent videos - love seeing work actually being done, even though my mechanical achievements in life amount to an oil change on my old Ford Cortina back in the day.. and those were the days for working on cars. Wish you had more subscribers.
thanks for you kind comment, hopefully we will get more subs as the year goes on, were going to give it 12 month and see if we can turn it into something.
in January I made the exchange for my 9g tronic from a cls 350d 2016, but unfortunately things were worse than before, the box went crazy after 1 month and started changing chaotically and very late, many resets and updates followed soft I hope that in the end I will be able to solve it, can you also leave me an address if you live in London for a check?
Hey, wnat to ask you, whats the difference between AMG and not AMG Oil sump? Little bit outside shape and differen position of magnets, maybe one extra magnet. Is it possible to use "normal sumo" on AMG? Or whats the difference. Thanks.
OMG great video you must have so many merc customers come to you rather than going to main dealer my question is does merc put all the procedures in place so you go to main dealer ...yes 100% as its a oil change change the oil and good to go all this stand on one leg for a min then repeat ...lol nonsense
Is it a standard practice at the workshop not to drain out the convertor in the gearbox? Youre definitely saving om time but dosent the customer pay for the full gearbox service? As in draining as much fluid out as possible. With the converter i usually use 10L of oil instead only 6 with just draining the pan
I can’t speak for all brands but Mercedes gearbox service instructions show what we have done, we do offer torque conversion drain aswel but it bumps the bill up a fair bit because of extra labour and fluid at £15 per ltr. Also not all mb converter have a drain.
That’s a good question. I can’t say for sure what component it comes From inside the box as I’m not 100 percent sure. I’m guessing torque converter and valve body.
It's from normal wear of the clutches. Especially the C63 version of this transmission doesn't have a torque convertor, it's a dual clutch transmission At least thats where you WANT that material to be from :) Less optimal would be wear of the actual gears, or bearings......
I was waiting to see how long it would take until that question came 😂 MB repair Manuel gives you 2 options with or without. We do offer a torque converter drain it’s entirely up to the customer and cost, this job is expensive.
Customer shouldn't be given a choice drain the torque converter has part of service, over 3 litres of oil in torque converter. You do this job once in 5 years do it properly ,I've done this on my 9g removed over 8 litres of oil.
