So the new gearboxes are after 2012 or also include 2012 models?
Amazing article thank you!

After reading a number of articles and opinions I have opted for 3L of the Fuchs Sintofluid FE 75W which is purely a GL4 oil. Wasn’t sure about the Fuchs Sintofluid 75W 80 as it’s GL4 / GL5 spec which presumably could be less then ideal for the Synchromesh?

Comment on The KISS Principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid! by Matthew Edwards https://stillrunningstrong.com/car-technology/keep-it-simple-stupid/#comment-14777 Sat, 07 Jan 2023 12:56:40 +0000 https://stillrunningstrong.com/?p=421#comment-14777 I agree with the KISS PRINCIPLE ! I have a W220 2002 S430 and have no tail lights or brake lights working at least not consistently. Now I’m at the point of exhaustion changed bulbs, traced wires, cleaned corrosion from tail lights . They came back on for a little bit but lost them again when they were on it was when the car was running not in auto or turned on at all settings . They remained on at all times but now lost again. Any advice or help is appreciated thanks in advance!
