Re: [MBZ] ATF - Pink Milkshake

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Its a pretty good video and his shot of contaminated fluid looks just like 
mine. I wonder if his test strips are doing coolant (glycol) or just water. I'm 
pretty sure our problem is just water. I know its not coolant from the engine 
since this is hydraulic oil and its not cooled by the engine. Still not sure 
how the water got in there...

 A recent list discussion addressed de-watering ATF that looked pink from water

I just saw a couple YouTube videos that addressed this if caused by coolant 
contamination via the transmission cooler in the radiator.  See:

The important messages were (1) this will ruin the tranny and (2) there is an 
easy and cheap way to test for coolant contamination in the ATF.

 

Maybe I’m just gullible, but this looke legit to me.
