Add one more parts to you list 140 270 02 50 is wire plug adapter on right side of the transmission (because adapter always leaks fluid)


I have had the adapter seal replaced 3 times in 56,000 in my 1999 E300. So whats the deal with this. I am getting a little tired of seeing this car in the shop.
I have changed dealers and hopefully will see a change, but is this is on the forum I'm sure its out there bieng a pain to everyone.
Could one of the techs on the forum address this. What is Mercedes doing about the frequency of this problem.

Or is it just me!!!!
