Wise maintenance that's not in the manual
Fella's,
Would be interested to learn from you what maintenance you consider wise to carry out that's not listed in the service manual (preferably W210). I mean, for instance, changing diff oil, or changing fluid of the powersteering. Thanks, V.

Just did the differential and am about to do the power steering on mine. Did the transmission fluid once at about 50,000 miles and will do it again by 100,000 miles. Other than that I generally follow the recommended jobs in the A and B service manual.

I tend to "over" maintain my cars.
For my 98 E320 I change the rear diff, trans fluid, power steering fluid around 75K miles. Fuel filter every 60K miles. Air filter every 30K miles. Pollen filters every 15K miles. The brake fluid every 2 years, radiator flush & fluid every 3 years. Oil changes every 5K miles. I do not believe in "filled for life" fluids for cars.

Don't forget the ol' crank position sensor... They DO wear-out

Is this something I should have for a 1992 300-E M103 9083 single cam six cylinder motor. I have no probles at this time and the car is like brand new (time capsule) I have been servicing the fluids and replaced the brake pads. Getting ready to flush the Power steering fluid and do a transmission filter service.
Anything I should look out for or buy to have would be helpfull. thank You Bob Geco |
