Question 1

What should I check on a used Mercedes with a 9G-Tronic gearbox?

Accepted Answer

That its oil was changed as the service schedule asks, and that it shifts smoothly when cold and when kicking down. Harsh or delayed changes can point to old oil or a fault in the valve body.

Question 2

Is the Mercedes 7G-DCT dual-clutch gearbox reliable?

Accepted Answer

It is dependable when serviced, but some A-Class, CLA and GLA of 2012 to 2018 suffer jerky shifts at low speed. Test it in slow traffic and when manoeuvring; later models moved to the eight-speed 8G-DCT.

Question 3

Is an electric Mercedes an automatic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the EQ models have a single fixed ratio and drive with no gear changes. In Luxembourg they also pay the €30 minimum road tax, against a CO₂-based figure for a petrol or diesel automatic.

Question 4

Are all new Mercedes automatic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every new Mercedes sold in Luxembourg is automatic, from the A 180 to the V-Class and Vito Tourer. Combustion and hybrid versions use dual-clutch or torque-converter boxes, and electric ones a single ratio.
