Guys Any help totally appreciated as I'm in a complete pickle! Few weeks ago my 2002 C Class W203 2.7 CDI avantgarde gearbox faield to engage. Engine ticked over fine but couldn't get the gearbox to engage whether manually or auto option. Took to local independent who had the box oil...

I have done the seemingly classic accident of spilling a few drops of water do wn by the gearshift on 2001 E320 CDI. Now the gearbox is not shifting from D to P or D to N and seems stuck in first gear. Coincidentally the cruise control is not working and is giving a speedtronic warning on the...

Afternoon, The ongoing saga of my ML270... I have Starting issues where the Starter solonoid will not get an earth switch signal after the car has been driven, thus when I turn off the engine it will not start again until cooled down. Had an auto electrician out today who can see with...

Hi, Am new to this so first of all, hi all!! I'm hoping some of you Merc boffins may be able to help. I recently bought a Merc 2000 plate A160. Usually when buying a car I'm very meticulous but was having an off day and have been stung by not doing the correct checks. Firstly I've recently...

Hi everyone I'v had an issue with my mercedes today. I drove up to a mate's place today and the car drove fine. While waiting for him on a downhill slope, i had the car running with handbrake engaged. However, when i wanted to move, the car only moved forward slightly but then it wouldnt move...

Over the last two days my W124 has first felt like the synchro was going - crunchy gear-changes (alleviated by double de-clutching), and just now would not go into reverse as all - much grinding. I let it drop down the slope alongside the house to park it, but then could not select 1st (or any...

There are two issues, but I do not know if they are related. I have noted a whining noise whilst driving, its like driving on a freshly laid tarmac...the *intermittent* whining noise is compounded with a *stutter/shake of sort* which is not gear specific... My mechanic placed the car on...

Hi. Hope someone can help. I recently bought a 2002 C270 auto diesel saloon with 160K on the clock. Really enjoying it until yesterday when driving along motorway. Car gave a judder then started to whine loudly from the rear somewhere. Managed to drive home and car seems ok on a light...

Hi, Just bought a very nice C270 CDI Estate through the trade but the gearbox is not changing gears at all. It's permanently stuck (probably in second gear) in limp home mode, the tiptronic function doesn't work at all and I feel a jolt when shifting into drive or reverse. My scanner flags...

Dear All, My E320cdi automatic (w210 late 2000 with 90k miles) has an intermittent problem whereby : - It won't kickdown, or even change down on the throttle. - It seems to lack power in whatever gear I select manually. - Seems unwilling to rev much over 2000 rpm. I have clean...

Hi guys. When I put the car in drive with my foot on the brake the car makes a creaking noise it isnt the brakes as I first thought. Also when changing up the box sometimes feels like its hesitating and slipping then it pops into gear ok. Car is a 1997 c200. Starting to worry bout this so any...

Twice after service my 08 C Class gearbox has had changed characteristics: changing up later and down earlier with an increase in diesel consumption. Car also seems noisier – but this could be due to higher revs. At first service it was returned to main dealer garage and fixed by "adjusting...

hello all, I had a post about few weeks about small leaking from my gearbox, I have just checked the gearbox oil when the engine is off and level is okay, but when I trun on engine the level is way below the limit. I think so we need to check gearbox oil when engine is running, am I right. Do...

I have a c200cdi 05. Auto. 70K recently after topping up engine oil it went to limp mode on me twice. i stripped the air intake etc out as I knew I had spilt some oil when filling. using an engine degreaser i removed all traces of oil and also removed and cleaned the MAF. It seems okay so...

Hi, I left my 1999 clk 320 cab for a few months whilst on a trip abroad and came back to find a lot of oil on the floor under the gear box its red so I think its ATF. What I would like to know is how do I put more in so I can safely get it to a garage, I can't find anywere to top it up under the...

My car has recently developed an intermittent fault with the gearbox. On a recent trip up to Scotland I experienced several occasions where due to the nature of single track roads I had to stop and reverse back up to a passing point. Normally this is not an issue, but on a few occasions after...

Curiosity got the better of me, so I popped the rad tank off a failed Valeo to have a look see. Firstly, the oil matrix itself looks fairly sturdy, and I am certain it is sound - note that the sealing of the oil matrix unions, and of the coolant is performed by just one seal on each union...

Hi, I have a C200 Kompressor X-reg which has a "ticking" noise coming from the gearbox. The noise has been there for a very long time now and hasn't got any worse, but is very annoying ! I am wondering if some thing has fallen into the gearbox to cause this noise? Can anyone give me any...

Hi All I am having problems. Popped down the shops today. no problem going not faults. Got back into the car and when I engaged gear it banged into drive. Pulled away fine but didn't change gear and would not go into reverse. Had to stop switch off the car to get it to go into...
