- W203 C200 Coupe 2008 2.2 CDI Auto
Ok, first question and have seen bits of the answer in other places but hope you don't mind me posting the specific questions I would like answers to.
The car is a 2008 W203 C220 CDI Coupe with 722.6 5-Speed Transmission.
Very occasionally (twice in 10 days & usually after hard acceleration) the gearbox has stopped changing up (limp mode?) - after reading various posts I'm looking at the ATF fluid so.
1. The dipstick cap had a locking tab (black not red) so am I right in assuming its probably never been changed?
2. On dispstick ATF fluid was black but still translucent (isn't ATF fluid red?)
3. Have also invested in the plug with the o-rings that apparently is infamous. do the symptoms fit that?
4. If a change of fluid & the plug doesn't solve it, whats next electroplate? Happy to spend a few quid chasing the problem love the car but there are limits.
