Timing Chain or Belt

[Guest Accent]

Dear all seniors,

I just got myself an preowned B180 today. Just wondering if B180 is using timing chain or belt? Hope to learn more about this car from this forum. Thanks in advance.

I got a b170, 3 year old , 40k km. wonder when should I change my cvt oil? How many ltr should I buy ? Should I do it at 50k or 60k services? Thanks in advance

40K is the right interval for CVT fluid change. insist only on the original MB CVT fluid.

Go to a renowned MB car workshop for this effort - please do NOT go to a so called ATF specialist in Sin Ming because i had nasty encounters there before.

A full flush and drain will be around 5.7 litre and it will cost $10 per litre for the original fluid.

For 40K servicing, you should also change the gasket and filter which will set you back approximately $300-400 for the whole effort. Don't save the money ... make sure this is done!
