Hi , I've just bought my first merc...an old 2004 C220 2.2 diesel and it's got a weird vibration sometimes when accelerating hard. I read the service history, and no mention of transmission fluid ever being changed, so I've ordered the bits to do that, just wondered if anyone had experienced...
Dear members.
I am throwing myself out there to the mercy of you all in the hope that someone can shine some light on an issue I am having with my 2011 c200 Cdi.
During summer, the car was magic but recently, as it's colder, selecting gears in the morning has been a right arm ache.
It's...
W124 E280 1995 auto estate: I'm getting what I can only describe as a whining noise coming, I think from the gearbox when the car is on the move. The noise changes in pitch as the car accelerates, becoming less noticeable when it's cruising in top. The noise also occurs under deceleration. Any...
Hi All
I seem to remember reading that although the Gearbox was "sealed for life", it is now recommended that the oil is changed.
If this is the case, does anyone know at what mileage intervals this should be done and also what the oil specification is ?
Thanks in advance.
Phil
Right oh!
So, today did the LubeGard treatment. New ATF (about 4.5L worth, so quite a decent amount) and 2 tubes of this.
Long story short - no noticeable improvement. Yeah the vibration is a tad less, sure, but you might as well put it down to new ATF. I suppose saying NO improvement is a bit...
Hello,
Okay I browsed around a bit on this forum for the word "jerky" but none of the post seem to cover the issue I am having so here goes...
Since about 2 weeks I am noticing that the car needs just that half second more to change gears. Not always though... sometimes. Also, my TC vibration...

I have a 2001 sprinter, auto motorhome. In the last 4 weeks I've broken down 5 times.
The gear indicator goes blank, lgnition lights come on, windows fail to work. I then have no gears, it may or may not fix itself in an hour or so. Mercedes have relieved me of a lot of money but failed to fix...
Hi,
I had quite a moment on the M25 today when my S320 CDI without any warning lost drive. All I felt was complete lack of throttle response before the car coasted to a halt. With the engine off drive was restored but only for a few hundred yards, then lost again. I tried this a couple of times...
I have seen a few threads about a whining noise on the ML270 CDi occurring when accelerating hard, possibly with some steering lock on at the same time.
I had this issue and first thought that it was coming from the gearbox, or transfer box :shock:
The noise would go away after a few...
Hello,
A while back I posted about an issue I was having with my W220... between 1100 and 1300 RPM I would get the "rumble-strip" vibration. We changed the fluid to 236.14 Fuchs, new filter, and, for a while, all seemed well. There still was some very mild vibration, but it was tolerable...
Hi all,
Replacement for the above (1996 5-speed) seems to be £2500 from a gearbox specialist in Bristol. Killer money, though I'm sure fine value ;)
Looking for a specialist for a second hand unit or a specialist breaker in the South West I guess. Any ideas welcome.
Rgds and thanks

Hi everyone.
Well, it is true... I just screwed the gearbox and I need help:
The case: my gearbox, after get in the right temperature, was getting in limb/safe mode when you press the gas hard... Sometimes even slipping to neutral.
So I checked in a mb scanner and it was a sensor in sensor...
I have a C200, automatic, which - together with some bad advice - has been giving me an increasing deal of trouble in the last three week. The problem, in a nutshell, is this:
The engine is vibrating excessively, particularly when moving in slow traffic (for instance, when stopped at a...
Hi,
I just replaced the gearbox in my son's 1986 280GE. It is a 5-speed manual Getrag box, and was replaced due to syncring failure.
The 'new' box, however, has a rather whiney noise on 2nd and 3rd gear, almost like it was reversing.
I thought I'd change the oil, but wanted to ask first...
Hi
Ive got a 1995 w202 c200 and I was wondering if you can swap the 4 speed auto box for a 5 or 6 speed auto? Wil it just 'bolt on' or does it involve any messing around?
Cheers
