I took a Similar car to a mechanic, he opened the refill plug with out the removing shaft joint, by a screw driver tapping on the side it started opening, saved time and effort, great video anyway, saved time to locate the plugs.
Thanks so much for that video! Just replaced the oil on my 2005 C240 4matic. The car had a bad vibration while hard turning at low speeds. The old tc oil was very dark compared to the new one... After driving it for about 30 minutes on the highway the issue is now gone.
Same for me on an 2008 E280 with 340k km. Car purrs again. I was worried it was the fronts axle joints, I'm glad it was just a fluid issue. Probably original oil in the transfer case from factory by the look of it.
Nice video, it is pretty much the same on 2005 Mercedes E320 4 MATIC. What he mention was wrong that the tool to unscrew drain plugs is torx tool in fact is alen key.
Great video man One thing I would add is that there is another plug (inspection hole screw plug) behind the vibration damper. The damper is on the right side if you pause it at 12:24. Remove the damper and remove the plug. You add oil from the oil filler opening on top until it runs out of the inspection opening. Let the oil escape for roughly 2 minutes and then screw it the plug and tighten to 30 Nm. That way you don't have to measure out .59 liters of fluid.
Very good video- however you should instruct your viewers that in order to remove the driveshaft flex disc, you need to rotate the rear driveshaft. Otherwise you cannot reach all the bolts on top. You cannot use ramps or blocks, all 4 wheels need to be up in the air in order to rotate the rear drive shaft. The 4matic is a full time AWD system, therefore when you turn the rear driveshaft the front one will also turn!
No it won't. If you turn the left wheel the right will turn other direction yes. But back wheels will not turn fronts and vice versa.. even if you put the car in drive. With all 4 wheels in the air. The rear would turn fast,, and one front wheel will turn at 75% the power, the other would barley move. All you have to do is out the car in neutral. And turn the drive shaft all day
There are three fill/drain bolts on this transfer case. The way you did it, the level was not checked. Your supposed to remove that counter wait that is right above the drain plug, and there is another plug behind that. You drain it, then fill it thru the fill plug, till it comes out of the level check plug.
Hello, I do not want to sound like smart ass but correct fluid for this transfer case has yelowish bright color. And to get to the filler bolt there is no need to drop driveshaft, nonetheless this is very helpful video.
This will solve the problem of the vibration and shredding noise when turning left or right , but fill it to the max and wait to drive it for 100 kms, the problem will disappear. It's funny how it can be cousing the issue from the first place. But apparently it's a common issue in the 4matic, One of mercedes X CEO doings. The one who retired in a bmw.
Good video! Too much effort to drive it a few miles and then do a second drain/refill. But wondering if you can just refill it, and then drain it again as a means of flushing it?
A great video. I have a question about this, though. I've just done a full ATF exchange on my 722.6 transmission. Isn't it true that the fluid in the 4Matic transfer case already connected to the transmission fluid? In this case the transfer case fluid should be good, no?
На самом деле замена масла в раздаточной коробке и акпп не всегда устраняет вибрацию , она может быть и от крестовины и эластичной муфты и подвестного подшипника и также болезнь 4 матиков это передний кардан , шрусы и т д , болень я победил на своей мерседес w 211 , e 320 benzin , 4 matik , пневмо стойки 2003 года авангард фулл комплектации ... полностью удалил раздатку шрусы и передний кардан , следовательно лишние шумы и вибрация пропала , всем удачи
great video, thanks! Can you do a video on how to change the oil pan gasket for a mercedes 190 (i have a 1985 190d, and the haynes manual says I have to lift out the engine) . Is there an easier way?
Should this be the same for my 2007 C280 4Matic? I have about 118,000 miles and I know the transfer case and differentials should be done. Also can I use the same fluid you did? Both the differential and transfer case fluids?
Those German geniuses we all love could have helped with a little better placement for that fill plug! I'm sure it will run like a champ when you get it back on the road.
Dude, you Made a huge mistake at filling. Behînd the rubber part on the right of the drain screw, there is a 3rd screw which is here to indicate the level by rejecting the exceeding oil. You put too much oil in your transfer case ! It is about 0,6L of oil in
@Diesel Mercedes : Are you sure that this is the correct Transfer case fluid 001989230310 , on the bottle it just says ATF Fluid . On the internet , 001989230311 is claimed to be the right TC fluid . I just want to be sure .

Thank you this is the only video on the transfer case even for a W210

What an artist. Nice work and well explained.

sfotic depends on the car. My C240 was Torx

You have allot more energy then me. Allot of work just to change the fluid. Nice job!
I'm getting tired....
Hello is the transfer case fluid the same as the atf fluid for my transmission 2000 w210 e320 4matic
Díky moc za video - Michal, Praha

how you get the slack to get the fex disk out

@Arek Majewski
how is it done without dropping the drive shaft thats what is stopping me
Truly excellent video!!
Thank you....
Fantastic video mate :)
Thank you for a nice explanation

BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!
Would there be much more room on a E-Class 4matic?
Good video! Too much effort to drive it a few miles and then do a second drain/refill. But wondering if you can just refill it, and then drain it again as a means of flushing it?
I was thinking the same thing..👍
what about the w204?? how do you do the transfer case
mine had T50 torx bolts holding the transfer case mount in place.
Hello, please tell me what kind of oil there should be poured into razdatku I mean by the admission of the plant thanks in advance
A great video. I have a question about this, though. I've just done a full ATF exchange on my 722.6 transmission. Isn't it true that the fluid in the 4Matic transfer case already connected to the transmission fluid? In this case the transfer case fluid should be good, no?

don't know, never worked on that car...
Great video buddy! Keep it up...
Thank you.....

Thank you very much Bro. You are great.
you are welcome...
Hello, please tell me which oil tolerance is recommended. Thank you in advance.
Should this be the same for my 2007 C280 4Matic? I have about 118,000 miles and I know the transfer case and differentials should be done. Also can I use the same fluid you did? Both the differential and transfer case fluids?
I have no idea if those cars are identical....Ideally stick with Mercedes fluids....fluids are specified in your owner's manual...have fun, be safe !
Those German geniuses we all love could have helped with a little better placement for that fill plug! I'm sure it will run like a champ when you get it back on the road.
I wish....

are you going to test drive it, tell us it works, sell it and buy something else now?
it needs more work....
Now who in their right minds would design a serviceable part that way? Tragic for Mercedes engineers
it should be yellow 236.13
My mechanic charged me 3.5 hours labor to flush transfer case fluid in my 240c 2003 4matic 40 dollars for fluid
@Diesel Mercedes : Are you sure that this is the correct Transfer case fluid 001989230310 , on the bottle it just says ATF Fluid . On the internet , 001989230311 is claimed to be the right TC fluid . I just want to be sure .
HE was correct 001989230310 is correct 1L bottle fluid, is correct 5L bottle fluid which is not in sale any more
