boy i looked real carefully but couldn't find anything there - is it a black plastic cap that says "MB workshop only" ?? that must be it then.. haha

also, what do i need the red AT cover pin for?


btw i'm ordering 8L of ATF, gasket, 2 washers, black cap and red pin. I don't think i'll buy a $70 dipstick. i'll measure exactly how much i get out, and sounds like ppl are putting in about 7.5L

thanks!

You've got to measure the fluid level hot after a change. Guessing just won't do. These cars are very sensitive to proper ATF level. You can make your own for a few bucks or get the real one for about thirty.
