Hi to all,

I have a w211 270 cdi from 2003 since a couple of months. Since a couple of days, my dashboard asking me to perform a D service.withing 30 days.

It's maybe a stupid question but I'm not used with MB maintenance plan... And as I would like to DIY, is there a list of things to do somewhere ?

Many thanks in advance for your help

PS : I have an autel MD 802 all systems, I think I can reset with it once the maintenance done.

You should be able to reset it via instrument cluster too... in cluster service menu you can find a service code, there is ESS (electrical service sheet) available in net, put the code and mileage there, you are getting service sheets. Task list is valid only if all services are actually done in the past as scheduled and recorded in ASSYST.

Many thanks I'll look into that service code !

You should look for a service check list- perhaps your local dealer will share. Mercedes does services alphabetical.
A = 1.0 hr
B = 2.0 hr
C = 3.0 hr
D = 4.0 hrs

As a new owner. How many miles are on the car? I would do brake fluid flush, diff service, trans mission service, and engine oil/filter and the fuel filter. Inspect front suspension, motor mount, T-stat, coolant lines, turbo lines, injector seals etc for leaks.. I'd inspect for leakage at the transmission electrical connection which is common.

W211 ASSYST+ system does not go strictly to pre-scheduled list, it has dynamic intervals.

Understanding the Mercedes-Benz Active Service System (ASSYST, ASSYST PLUS, ASSYST Fixed Intervals) Service Indicator Lights | YourMechanic Advice

Since 1997, most Mercedes-Benz vehicles come equipped with an electronic computer system linked to the dashboard that tells drivers when the engine needs to be serviced. A wrench-shaped symbol will display on the dashboard...

Hi, thanks for your advice. It has 145mkm. I'm the new owner but I know the car... I bought it from my father who bought it new in 2003 Most services has been done by the MB local dealer.

Ok got it

It indicates services 3 "Check accessories belt", 5 "Change AC filter", 6 "Break liquid to replace", 13 "Motor oil and filter to change", 15 "several visual checks" are due.

Now my main issue is... the break liquid as I have the famous SBC, apparently only MB can do that.

[EDIT to complete my post]

It does require an MB capable scan tool or the MB SDS to get all of the fluid out of brake pressure reservoir.
Also a pressure bleeder is used during the sequence.

Which non MB tools is able to do that ? Autel ?

I am not sure which one. I have the MB Star at my disposal.
When I had the dealer do it they charged me $220. Since then I have done it every two years with the Star system.
