[@sprautos]

We only had time for a quick video this week, but we have some really good projects coming up so please like and subscribe and we will try and keep the content coming. All the best to everyone and thanks for watching.

[@Orwic1]

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing some more videos.😀

[@Millennial_Manc]

Loving the vidz Sam. You’re looking more comfortable too. Would love to see you open up some old 70s 80s 90s classics as well as all these AMG beasts. 🥇

[@sprautos]

thank you, yes we are looking to cover older vehicles aswel, tbh there is laods we want to do but we just dont have the time haha @@Millennial_Manc

[@SideSwipePB]

@@sprautoswhat are your thoughts on using the amg pan on non amg trans. It seems like an upgrade.

[@01menyou]

Nathan will go far. Not a flicker of pleasure or emotion, pure SPR servicing.

[@sprautos]

He is doing really well.

[@m.silviu4768]

Excellent video! Great job! It is the first to explain properly the procedure without the ultrasound tool i have found browsing the internet.

[@mrtidy]

Gearbox oil changes used to be so straightforward in my day.....😮😮😮😮

[@sreitshamer]

Just figured out that you can do this with an Autel MK808S -- you don't need the MB scan tool. It does the same procedure (bleed not running, bleed running, increase idle while you adjust oil level). Great video!

[@sprautos]

Yea I would expect most good Diag tools to be able to do it. 👌

[@Jason12345-J]

@sreitshamer - This is great information to know as I am looking to purchase the Autel MK808S. Do you mind me asking what is the function called in the Autel MK808s and how you get to this function? Also what car you undertook this on as I am assuming it had the 9G MCT Transmission (eg. c63 or GLC63, GT63) in it and not the standard 9G which is in all the non AMG versions - I would very grateful if you could respond. Thanks!

[@sreitshamer]

@@Jason12345-J Don't remember what the function is called but I'm sure you'll find it if you explore the menus. It was on a 2021 C63 with the "Speedshift" (MCT) transmission.

[@Jason12345-J]

@@sreitshamer fantastic! Appreciate the positive and quick response - Autel MK808s I will be purchasing! Thank you. I have the 9G MCT also!

[@codyreed8480]

@@Jason12345-JDid you ever find the menu on the scan tool? My c63 just hit the service interval for this service have all the tools except the $500 MK808s just want to make sure I get the right model. Appreciate it brother!

[@1b9e7n3z]

nice way of working, super clean and professional, an example of professionalism

[@sprautos]

Thank you very much!

[@1234minster]

Good to see the knowledge and tech that we are paying for, another good video, keep them coming😊

[@Mrs.Thatcher]

Excellent videos - love seeing work actually being done, even though my mechanical achievements in life amount to an oil change on my old Ford Cortina back in the day.. and those were the days for working on cars. Wish you had more subscribers.

[@sprautos]

thanks for you kind comment, hopefully we will get more subs as the year goes on, were going to give it 12 month and see if we can turn it into something.

[@djwarren5081]

The SLK in the background looked rather familiar. I sold one just like it to Matt.

[@danieljadorie829]

Great video, I am really taking a liking to this channel. This MB gearbox has a more involved procedure than my Audi haha.

[@coolfox999]

Hi there great vid. Have question, on GLE where you demo no engine bleed How you change the pan , do you take the cros bar off ? Theres also I found difficult to get to the front diff plugs , would be interesting to see the complete transmission liquids change on the new GLE it looks to me as a pain in unmentiables :-) Thanks

[@mrockman5900]

Love your videos and the quality of your work is right up there, that’s why I come to you. But just for fun and because I can - that jump lead in my car has never been used on my CL, when the battery was flat it simply got a new one. But you are right, I’m not using the car as often as I used to, nice reminder 🤣

[@joseborrerovega7755]

Wish we had a service center like yours in my area of the US. Lovely wagon, too bad they C63s wagons were not brought to the US 😭.

[@modmod392]

And that ladies and gentlemen is why you go to a highly rated Mercedes specialist 😊

[@John_Fick]

9g .to check the Level ,you must have a special "Ultraschall -Sensor "?? Or you can choice in Xentry how to check the Level ?

[@mechtechmechanical1571]

loads of good info on your channel much appreciated

[@SteveN-pw4dj]

I have just acquired a service kit, but there is a small drain plug to replace after draining the torque converter too, which holds about 2 liters I believe.. But you don't show this or is it different on my e220 with the 725 9 speed? Just curious as I have watched a few vids of a transmission service and they are not all the same as I would expect?

[@adiskevric7826]

How many liters of oil did you put in initially before draining?

[@Nick-bp7jf]

Hi. Some 722.6 content would be appreciated in the future please.

[@sprautos]

I’m sure there will be.

[@robertowen6236]

Great video. But try and show the people how to do it without the machines. No one has that machine at home😂😂. Thanks for your videos

[@merrystop208]

in January I made the exchange for my 9g tronic from a cls 350d 2016, but unfortunately things were worse than before, the box went crazy after 1 month and started changing chaotically and very late, many resets and updates followed soft I hope that in the end I will be able to solve it, can you also leave me an address if you live in London for a check?

[@439530]

From what I understand you’re not supposed to drain the fluid in the torque converter just the sump.

[@49ackers]

What is the oil spec and what brand for the diff oil I have a XLWB vito , Thanks

[@peterryan7340]

What is the recommended service interval on the 9 speed gearbox?

[@frankbailey7337]

Would the car shift better after this? My 2016 cls is being done first time next week at 95,000 miles 😅

[@sprautos]

it should improve things yes.

[@violr]

Hey, wnat to ask you, whats the difference between AMG and not AMG Oil sump? Little bit outside shape and differen position of magnets, maybe one extra magnet. Is it possible to use "normal sumo" on AMG? Or whats the difference. Thanks.

[@sprautos]

Magnets and filters are different from memory, and no I wouldn’t use a none AMG sumo on an AMG. There is a reason they made it different 🙌

[@m60kaf]

I'd love to hear your opinion on the piece of junk that is the 722.9

[@sprautos]

I’m sure we will get some 7 speed content

[@MichaelHall2657]

How much is a Gearbox Service on a 2017 E220D AMG Line please.

[@sprautos]

£540 all in parts labour vat

[@r.weaver3769]

Dumb question, where do you get the tube that fits on the gear oil bottle to put the differential oil in?

[@sprautos]

No question is a dumb question. It comes on the castrol bottle 👌

[@alexanderbilchev3664]

Is it a standard practice at the workshop not to drain out the convertor in the gearbox? Youre definitely saving om time but dosent the customer pay for the full gearbox service? As in draining as much fluid out as possible. With the converter i usually use 10L of oil instead only 6 with just draining the pan

[@sprautos]

I can’t speak for all brands but Mercedes gearbox service instructions show what we have done, we do offer torque conversion drain aswel but it bumps the bill up a fair bit because of extra labour and fluid at £15 per ltr. Also not all mb converter have a drain.

[@alexanderbilchev3664]

@@sprautos do you use the gearbox service instructions from WIS?

[@mattmatt115]

I would have liked to see the torque convertor drained, however this car doesn't have one. Because the C63 is a DCT.

[@mustaphaessahihi1762]

So how much oil does geabox takes in service like this one?

[@sprautos]

Pump in 7ltr do the bleed and Mybe get 2 ltrs back out

[@abaig4154]

What mean by Gearbox Service B ?

[@mattmatt115]

Awesome video. Curious you didn't torque the pan in the MB suggested sequence, but i guess that's more of just to be sure thing. The pan is very rigid and the gasket is also very high quality so i think there is a pretty large margin to work with. Thanks for the awesome video, love seeing indy shops do these types of jobs most Benz owners would rush to the dealer and pay top money for.

[@scotspie501douglas7]

OMG great video you must have so many merc customers come to you rather than going to main dealer my question is does merc put all the procedures in place so you go to main dealer ...yes 100% as its a oil change change the oil and good to go all this stand on one leg for a min then repeat ...lol nonsense

[@sprautos]

I’m sure they could make things easier sometimes. But we just go with the flow 😂

[@kushtrimqoqaj9101]

How to withaot diagnosti plese

[@jonathanw8062]

Don't you also need to drain the torque converter? That's what I have done on the 7 speed version anyway.

[@sprautos]

I was waiting to see how long it would take until that question came 😂 MB repair Manuel gives you 2 options with or without. We do offer a torque converter drain it’s entirely up to the customer and cost, this job is expensive.

[@jonathanw8062]

Thanks for the clarification ⭐

[@benz961]

Customer shouldn't be given a choice drain the torque converter has part of service, over 3 litres of oil in torque converter. You do this job once in 5 years do it properly ,I've done this on my 9g removed over 8 litres of oil.

[@sprautos]

i dont dissagree but its hard enough getting customers to approve the service as it is. All the best. @@benz961

[@markmoore6264]

Great video, would the process be the same on a 2015 Landrover Discovery Sport with the 9 speed Zf box ?

[@aq7705]

Pls get yourself a drain pan stand...it's alot less messy than spraying fluid all over the floor.

[@Daniel-jv5yr]

The metal that the magnets trap, where does it come from? What wears that much? Manual transmissions don't have magnets.

[@sprautos]

That’s a good question. I can’t say for sure what component it comes From inside the box as I’m not 100 percent sure. I’m guessing torque converter and valve body.

[@mattmatt115]

It's from normal wear of the clutches. Especially the C63 version of this transmission doesn't have a torque convertor, it's a dual clutch transmission At least thats where you WANT that material to be from :) Less optimal would be wear of the actual gears, or bearings......

[@Daniel-jv5yr]

@@mattmatt115 that's why I went with manual transmission. Except the clutch, not much of a hassle.

[@pythone.g.account5355]

is a manual gearbox serviced in the same way?👍👍

[@sprautos]

I Manuel box it’s pretty much very similar to servicing the differential

[@philipgardner-uz5ne]

Can you not clean the filters😢

[@sprautos]

No you always replace any oil filter
