DMGRS Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 Greetings, everyone. My 2013 S204 with 7G+ gearbox has already reached 10 years of age and I am responsible for its service. There is a discrepancy between the Mr Car Assyst plus and Mercedes Myservice web page on the kind of service required. I am tempted to choose the Mercedes service website. Regardless, the vehicle requires a B9 service which includes the installation of an air filter, fuel filter, and a brake fluid change. Interestingly, it also need an Auto Trans service. I am sceptical since the second gear box of the vehicle was serviced two years ago (the service before the most recent one) and it was just about 22,000 miles ago. Undoubtedly, it is not yet due. I believed that the requirement was either 50,000 miles or 5 years, whichever occurs first. So far, it has only been requested twice in over a decade. Can anybody verify? I will personally handle the remaining tasks of the service and use the oil extractor to take advantage of the conveniently located top mounted oil filter, ensuring a quick and clean process.

blueWING007 Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 He believes that it is a duration of 5 years or 50,000 kilometres. It is important to be aware that some regions have different restrictions. For instance, in the case of the 9G, automobiles in the ROW (EU) are allowed to have a mileage of up to 75,000 miles with no time limit, whilst cars in the NAS region are limited to 75,000 miles during a period of 5 years. I am unsure of your location in the United Kingdom, but when I visited Nottingham, I found an MB Specialist that had the necessary expertise to service our SLK. Not only were they knowledgeable, but their services were also much more affordable compared to an official MB garage. Do you believe that a trustworthy MB Independent will be capable of giving you the correct answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENZE220AMG Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 It is not worth considering doing it till another 3 years or 20-30k miles have passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenishP4 Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 Request a quotation from an authorised dealer for my 2013 w204 vehicle. The recommended maintenance plan for this vehicle is every 5 years or 77,500 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMGRS Posted March 9, 2024 Author Share Posted March 9, 2024 That pricing is reasonable given the substantial amount of effort needed. However, I now have 99,000 miles on my vehicle and have previously had two maintenance, with the most recent one being 23 months ago. Therefore, I want to wait for at least another year before getting another service. Will they agree to do just a stand-alone service on the gearbox, without any other tasks?

DenishP4 Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 You neglected to express gratitude towards me. Please inquire and provide us with information on the stand-alone option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
