My cars on 17,800 m. Had it’s A Serv today at mb. Oil/filter. Spark plugs. Air filter and trans service. Didn’t know the car needed a trans serv at this mileage / age. Normal?

Mercedes main dealer service costs are a joke. When my service plan expires, in three years time, the car will no longer be under warranty, so I will be using independent garages instead. Much cheaper and better attention to detail.

Had my A200 2019 serviced last week, said i still need to arrange to have my automatic gear box oil change with mercedes, costs £3-£400, wasnt included in full service with cazoo

How often does this need swapping out? Ive read its 10kmiles but also read 40k somewhere online

any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a feeling the cut and paste from the translation into English was not anywhere near fully cut.

Helloo,

I can't find any information on when to get the automatic (A200 Petrol W177) gearbox serviced. How often is this done? I went on the mercedes website to look at what work could be booked online, but there was no explicit option regarding transmission or gearbox. In my previous car they had to change the fluid, filter, and some seals.

any insight would be appreciated. 47k miles, approaching 5 years old.
thx

That sounds reasonable for an MB garage and the mileage is much higher than the mileage posted elsewhere for when an oil change is required.

My service last year when the car reached three years old the garage were incorrectly told by the MB system that my gearbox oil did not need changing. After my questioning it due to posts on this forum they found they did need to change it.
