- E320 CDI Estate '02 W210
Hi Everyone,
Im new to the forum and would firstly like to say Hello I am anew proud owner of an E320 which is awesome if i do say so my self....
I have a few problems with my W210 E320 CDI and hope some of you guru's may be able to point me in the right direction, heres a few details:-
in between 60mph & 70mph the auto box changes to 5th for a split second then back to 4th again and toggles between the two until i slow down to the right speed for 4th its pretty undriveable on the motorway
If i try and accelerate past it, this is fine however it stays in 4th, but when i let off the gas it developes a judder until the car slows to say 40mph, pain in the butt to say the least :sad: also the judder is there on the slightest load (inclines etc) only when doing say 65ish down hill im not sure if its in 4th or 5th cant tell from the revs?
I also have the glow plug light staying on 20-30 seconds after start which i guess one or so plugs are fbar'd
Things that are fine
Any help would be most appreciated as i have read most other comments re auto gearbox problems and mine seems to be slightly different. :-?
Cheers peeps
P.s im used to manuals so dont have a clue on the guts of an auto box they are very new to me

Things that are fine
- Kick down is fine
- Tip is fine apart from changing to 5th
- all gear changes are smooth although a little jump into 1st every now and then
- There is NO judder when setting off only deceleration and on inclines around 65mph
