Great video and great timing! My 2021 GLA45 has developed this clunking noise over the last 8 weeks, accelerating in 1st gear and also on hard lock turns to the right. I took it to the dealer for an inspection and they reported nothing wrong. I then called back to try to speak to the engineer as the noise is still there, and funnily enough the engineer never called back. The problem has got worse and the car is now booked in again. The car only has 16k miles on the clock from new, and yet the problem clearly needs attention. I'll make sure they don't try to force me into a new diff, but looking at other forums it sounds like this is a very common issue and Mercedes dealers try their hardest not to sort these out under warranty. Mine is just out of the 3yr warranty but I've got 14mths left on the extended warranty from when I bought it. Really don't need a company of Mercedes' reputation trying to wriggle out of this!

What did your issue end up being?

@@iSeeks Mercedes dealer initially changed the diff oil (my expense), which didn't fix the issue. After about 6 weeks and more back and forth, they eventually agreed the diff itself was faulty, and I had a replacement fitted under warranty. Got the car back in November and it's been fine since, though I'm far from convinced an issue won't arise again.

Thank you so much! Did this over the weekend. Appreciate the help. Now do we change the fluid on the front differential as well?

Was the noise comparable to a clunking sound sometimes when taking off from a stop.

yes when turning, or going up a hill from a stop. also longer trips when it warms up, it becomes more noticeable...

Thanks for this video. Is it possible to overfill a differential? I did this with my 2018 gla 250 just today. Big money saver my local mercedes wanted to charge 600 for a diff fluid change. I bought the oil from them and by the time i bought ither supplies cost me about $150 so a big money saver forsure

It would be really tough. You'd have to over fill it a ton and then quickly put the fill bolt back before it drained out. Thanks for watching! That's a huge savings!
