    Mercedes-Benz C200 2009: Topping up transmission fluid?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 3 April 2015

    If it has a dipstick it can, but you'll find your car doesn't. Automatic transmissions these days are so-called "filled for life", which means they're filled with fluid at the factory and there should be no need to regular checks or top-ups. If you want to change the fluid, which can be a good idea, you need to go to an auto trans specialist.

    Mercedes-Benz C200 2008: Kompressor auto transmission problem
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 7 February 2014

    Your frustration is understandable. I would urge you to go back to Mercedes-Benz direct and request some assistance with the cost of repairs. While I doubt that Mercedes would cover the whole cost of the job, I would think they might cover part of the cost if you approach them in a reasonable way. If you don't want to go down that path consult an automatic transmission specialist and get another quote for repairs.

    It’s the gearbox and it’s badly in need of some TLC. Take it to a transmission specialist and have it checked.

    Mercedes mystery
    Answered by CarsGuide team · 4 June 2009

    I HAVEN'T and I couldn't believe it, but I contacted Mercedes-Benz to check anyway. It confirmed my belief that your friend's information was incorrect, but to be sure Benz told us it would contact you to get more information and hopefully set your friend's mind at rest.
