Differential Fluid Change on Mercedes w203 c200k

[@simonreeves2017]

Nice and to the point. For a top job you could add... wire brush fill and drain plug areas first; re-insert fill plug, not tight, before opening drain plug - stops fluid gushing; flush diff with some of the new oil - wastes some, but clears out last of the old oil. Brake Clean will clean off the diff when finished.

[@doit_vehicles]

That sounds good , thanks for feedback :)

U will damage the pinion if u try to clean a high milage fluid and u will start to hear a loud humming noise

[@fatihemre5019]

@@mohammedbenz9361 you say do not change old differenttial oil if we have high milage car. ıs it true?

[@mohammedbenz9361]

No, what im saying is if you ever change the fluid, dont try to flush it or if you ever happen to take off the diff cover don’t wipe off the old oil or try to clean it with brake clean I think if you ever want to change the fluid in a high milage car only use full-synthetic but i would recommend avoiding it as long as you could I have a 2002 crown vic and change the diff fluid with conventional oil 90w-140 and that caused a humming noise but it got me 3 years no problem

Brilliant video, so clear, thank you very much for taking the time to make it :)

[@fatihemre5019]

You should look at Mercedes WIS document (workshop information system computer program). Wıs says that use 85w90 and add 1.1 liters.

Once you said " Hey Guys " I was thinking it's Chrisfix! :D ... Good job bro, I have the same w203 and this service is really important, some people won't do it because it sounds like a big deal, but in reality, it's a piece of cake.

[@doit_vehicles]

Chrisfix is not here 😅 Yeah, Actually the most difficult part is lifting the car .. I think

[@mauivi1113]

Jo buddy. TX for showing. One idea more, to fill up the oil on a place like that I used a 200ml siringa with a small plastic tube. You will be able to fill without a mess or loss. .

[@doit_vehicles]

That's a cool idea !

[@pete614]

Thanks and many thanks again!

[@ronalddsouzak]

Thanks, I do chage both diff and gear box oil. My car is w204 c180k at 160600km. Old oil looks dark coffee color and new oil looks honey color. I found metal on cap only in gearbox cap. Which is very negligible. Thank you for you guided vedio. Cheers

[@doit_vehicles]

I am glad it was helpfull , cheers ! )

[@ronalddsouzak]

Cheers, only type mistake. 160600km - made correction. And I made some pictures. But I could not able to add in comments!

Great video. Easy to follow. I must get myself some ramps.. i have a 180 kompressor. Will the 14mm hex key be the same i will need?

[@doit_vehicles]

Hi ! Yes meny MB have the same size on that bolt . I did not use that much those ramps , I would rathet get jack stands 😅

[@cvetandunchev9433]

Thanks a lot for the video. I assume that the gear box oil is replaced in a similar way. So I would like to ask what kind of oil would you recommend to be used for the 6 speed manual gear box of W203 CDI? 75W80 would be OK?

[@doit_vehicles]

yes , you will need something like 75w 80 or 75w gl-4 . It's quite rare to find a manual MB these days ✌ sorry for late reply

[@selametas-salafi3726]

Mobil 1 - 75W-90 is good choice for the job?

[@doit_vehicles]

In my opinion is just fine

[@johnmclane6146]

You used LS 85w-90 which means LIMITED SLIP... You should have used just regular 85w-90 for this car. It has no LS diff...

[@doit_vehicles]

On the website I bought it , I couldn't find regular 85w 90 available . It's probabily not a big difference in price , right ?

[@foremansithole6833]

I used 80w-90,hope its k

Excuse me! We need how much oil?

Hi . How many litre oil need exactly? Thanks

Hi ! It's 1 litter- one bottle

[@Dimatchka]

75W-85 is required... 75W-90 is ok... not sure why youre using the oil in the video

[@doit_vehicles]

Why I am using oil in the video ? 🤔

[@Dimatchka]

@@doit_vehicles "THE oil in THE video" aka 85w-90

[@doit_vehicles]

I bought the oil from a very popular onlineshop in Europe where you can put the details of your car and get the part/product for that specific vehicle . They recommended this viscosity... If you have a look also online there are meny opinions regarding the viscosity on the MB differential: like 80w90 85w90 75w80. So at the end of the day you can make the final decision .

[@makemoneyonline8793]

I use a regular synthetic 75W-90 gear oil and it does the job.
