Hi all please be gentle I'm a newbie!
Can someone help please?
Are you all sitting comfortable? Itook my 02 C180 Auto to a non Mercedes Garage(recommended by some one) for a service,MOT and for them to look and rectify a flat spot I had when pulling away from a standstill,The mechanic stated the MAF box had failed and would renew it.When I had the car back it was worse than ever with an added whistle sound! I took it back and he said the MAF was faulty(I found out later he fitted a non-merc part which he replaced with a merc one)he also said he had to change the oil in the box and replace the filter as that was making the whistle sound.He then remarked "oh by the way we had problem with the box and lost all the gears but it seems ok now" I have never ever had problems with the gears before!
I took it home and the flat spot was still there!When I phoned to tell him he hadnt cured it he suggested I keep for a few days and see if it sorts it self out!!!After 2 weeks without a car I said yes however the next day I drove to work got about 4 miles into the journey got to a junction and lost all gears!
Any Ideas guys P.sgears fine when cold!
