Re: [MBZ] '07 R-320CDI
If they'd have fixed the R-320CDI for $600 to coupla thou $, son would have had it fixed immediately, but they were talking 'bout 4 to 5 thou with no assurance that it would be fixed. I thought they were handing 'im a lota stealer BS. 'Just reconfirms why I hate trying to deal with a stea-uh-dealership. 'Course, I don' know the details - I was never there for the discussions - 'just know that son was very frustrated and finally disgusted about it; 'drove it another 100 kmi, anyway. 'Still chattering and slipping when he traded it. Wilton - Original Message - From: Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] '07 R-320CDI
A bad torque converter wouldn't last 100k miles without either locking up the converter or spraying shrapnel. I'd think it was bad clutches, and even that transmission is ONLY an automatic tranny. A new one from MB might cost $5k, but a rebuild most certainly will not. Certainly if it was the converter, that comes off and is separate from the rest of the tranny (unless there is something really weird about it) and can be replaced separately. Dealers no longer have service departments, they just swap in things. Back in the day they would do tranny rebuilds, etc. Should have taken it to a good MB knowledgeable transmission shop. We have one here, did a great job on my brother's SDL tranny for $1500. A lot simpler, but the mechanicals aren't that different, just more of them.

Re: [MBZ] '07 R-320CDI
Like I said, I don't know what it REALLY was, and it seemed that the MB mechs/techs didn't either. They just seemed to want son to throw money at it; he didn't and drove it another 100 kmi, anyway. My thoughts, too, on the clutches, but I never got involved in it.
