- Eclass 320CDI estate - avantgarde
Hello everyone,
I've just signed up to the forum to hopefully get some expert advice.
I'll try make a long story short...
Around 6 months ago I inherited my dads old Eclass 320cdi estate Auto its on an 06 plate. The car has been exceptionally well maintained and is in pristine condition. As he has owned it from new and I knew the cars history I made the decision to keep the car.
Unfortunately soon after getting the car I started having issues with the gearbox until finally it gave up completely. I took the car to an independent gearbox specialist, they completed a full gearbox rebuild for £1100. I was also give a full 2 year warranty
I had a few teething issues after the work had been completed so the car went back and forth to the garage, eventually we got to a point where the car was in a good working order and the transmission seemed sorted.
Around 3 months and 3000 miles later I have started having issues with the car. The gear changes seem to late, i.e revving up to over 2000 rpm before changing down gears. I tried to live with it for as long as possible but it became a real pain. This wasn't the only issue I experience, I was driving along the motorway and the car just decided to go into neutral at 70mph and it wouldn't re-engage into gear until I pulled up in the hard shoulder and set off from a starting point again.
This was the final straw really, I have decided to Sorn the car until I can get a diagnosis from a Mercedes specialist. Once I have that I will either decide to repair though the specialist or take it back under the gearbox rebuild warranty.
I'm therefore asking if anyone could kindly recommend an Mercedes specialist in the Yorkshire area.
Thanks for reading and hopefully someone can help.
Aidan
