Mercedes Benz CLA Transmission Flush

This is how I replaced and refilled the transmission oil, filter, and gasket on a cla250, please enjoy and subscribe. Got the parts from Amazon as a kit with motul tranny dual clutch oil along with gasket and filter. The tranny cooler filter is optional. God bless!

Great job. My MB dealer wants over $1200 to do it. FCP sells the complete kit for around $200\

[@josesaumell2908]

Helpful video, question, shouldn't flush process circulate new fluid through to take out old oil from other parts of the transmission? I have water in the gearbox and not sure if this will be enough

[@techbyluke6396]

Thank you for this video very helpful!!! I have a question, my transmission fluid change isnt due yet but I still think it would be good to replace the fluid. Do you think it would be okay to change just the fluid and not the gaskets and filter I only have 17,000 miles just old oil! Thanks

[@car-lo]

Thank you! I have changed transmission fluids before the interval nothing wrong with that, just extra love for your car. Even tho it is not due yet on miles, but also driving conditions can play a factor.

[@ОлегГлебов-ы4б]

I will do that job again. I could not get big filter out becos of that hose. I could not take down that hose. I tried, even I was thinking to take off front bumper))) now I know that hose is removable

[@car-lo]

Just do the same i did it on the video expand it or insert a flat head screw driver to expand the retainer , happy fixing

[@mykofreder1682]

Seen this several places and at 50K miles I would only drain, maybe run the engine a bit to get as much fluid out, and change the external filter. Then change the external filter and refill and be done, the 2nd filter is difficult and would wait for over 100K to go there.

[@car-lo]

Yehp I replaced the filters on the other vid- shorts vid-

[@PeterSchneemann]

I have 2 questions: 1) Would you trust any mechanic do this on your car? 2) How often do you need to do it on a Mercedes CLA?

[@car-lo]

Hi, 1. To a certain degree i would if you have a good reputation. 2. Just to flush i would do it to my car every 30k if i want to keep the car that long? Also, depending how you used your car traffic etc.

[@daku088]

The dealer told me to get new transmission pan screws. Those are one-time use(t30). Did you put the same back ?

[@car-lo]

Yes, my apologies my kit came with new bolts.

[@luisfernandogalicia7654]

Thank you for this video, it's pretty helpful, i have a question, how i know whats the correct oil level ?

[@car-lo]

Hi Luis, I removed the oil at cold temp or room temp, and I measured what came out.

[@luisfernandogalicia7654]

@@car-lo and if for example my transmission have a leak there are any method to know How much oil does my transmission need? Thank you so mucho, I appreciate your answer. 👍

[@car-lo]

Ohhh, good question if there is a leak at full drain with both filter change the actual capacity I think for the cla250 is 5.55qts or 5.5L Anyone correct me on this if I'm wrong.

[@someguy2312]

@@luisfernandogalicia7654 there is a special dipstick with little numbers on it you hook a proper scan tool run the car through the procedure and it will tell you what level you need to have your fluid at according to the numbers on the dip stick the car itself will calculate depending on oil temperature! I usually add like 4.5 do the first check then bring it to level then do another check

[@pinchyclarke]

Thanks a million ❤

[@ОлегГлебов-ы4б]

Dear master! My manual says that need 6,21 L of fluid to fill gearbox. But actually only 5 liters came out. All other guys says that need enough 5 smth plus liters. My question: how many fluid you filled? And : Why manual says about 6,21 liters? And where is one liter left? Thank you

[@car-lo]

What i did was, measure what came out and put in same amount, lil tad bit more, so far car shifts good till today like brand new again.

[@elonmusk8667]

Any issues? Did a notification on the dash come on telling you not to put it in gear and take it to the dealer?

[@car-lo]

Hi, no issues at all... Car still runs and smooth shifting.

[@Chxrry2x]

mine did this same thing i filled it with transmission fluid and it ran perfect, just do a fluid flush and change

Not yet still strong, just clutch now needs replacing soon. I'll replace clutch once I find time.

Hey do you have the problem everyone’s talking about when putting in reverse on cold start ?

[@car-lo]

No, never had any issues prior to changing the oil. It was just routine maintenance.

How to take out and move to radiator the tough hose ??? The filter don't come out if not do that. You did not show us. Please

[@car-lo]

The filter came out without removing the hoses, i also pinned the small filter on the comment section. I used small socket extensions to remove the filter housing, but the hose is on 05:33.

[@crazyrici]

This is 4matic? Where i can find any info on changeing the oil and filter on manual transmission?

[@car-lo]

Hi , not sure about MANUAL, but if you look down on the MANUAL transmission side you will see a fill hole and a drain hole nuts, closer to the ground is your drain upper one is fill hole, open fill hole first then the drain nut after, safer that way. U might need 1.8q or l, but measure what comes out and just fill it back with same amount.

[@donaldskosaan3330]

do you have a water pump replacement video on this engine?

[@car-lo]

Hi Don, not yet since it hasn't failed yet, I'll make one soon. Thank you.

[@cihanozdemir9131]

Remove the bumper, remove the radiators, drain the air conditioner gas, remove the turbo, remove the v-belt, remove the air conditioner compressor, it only changes like this.

[@RT72223]

Onde consigo ver a quantidade de óleo da caixa de transmissão de um cla c200 2015?

[@car-lo]

When you drain at room temperature measure what comes out and just put back the same amount.

[@brayandiazvilleda8612]

I have also a 2014 Mercedes cla 250…. Was just confused on how much to put in… is it 6 or 7 quarts ?…. I got my car at 100k miles I’ve added 20k and I’m planing to changin it now. Would you think it would slip ? Since I don’t think it ever got changed

[@car-lo]

Hi Brayan I had 7 but u need 6, i drained it at cold, and whatever came out measured it and put back same amount, As long as you dont see leaks before the drain. When i changed filters and oil car shifts so much better.

[@mwk1939]

Hi can I ask what was the millage of the car when you changed the fluid? And how often you change the fluid????

[@car-lo]

Hi mwk! I changed it at 70k, someone correct me on this the interval might be at 30k? At 70k ran like crap, After when it was changed it felt better.

Merci pour le tuto. Comment savoir la quantité exact d huile à mettre lors du changement des filtres? Dans la procédure mercedes, je crois qu il faut regarder la température de l huile? Merci

Merci d'avoir regardé. Je l'ai fait à température ambiante, et à la même température que la nouvelle huile, j'ai mis ce qui est sorti et je l'ai mesuré.
