How to Replace the Transmission Fluid in a Mercedes A-Class?

Model: Mercedes Classe A W169 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Transmission fluid

To replace the transmission fluid in a Mercedes A-Class, loosen the bolt that secures the drain plug of the transmission oil reservoir: this will allow all the used oil to flow out into a properly positioned container. Once the oil has completely drained, close the drain plug at the bottom of the engine compartment. Open the hood to access the top: here you will find the fill port for the transmission fluid, into which you will need to insert the required amount of fluid.
