1999 Mercedes-Benz C230 Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mercedes-Benz tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your C230’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my C230's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1999 C230’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mercedes-Benz. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Mercedes-Benz C230 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Mercedes-Benz C230 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your C230 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
