Hello everyone, Just wanted to post the solution. The problem was a mass air flow sensor that was messing up. Fortunaly my mechanic found the problem quickly and didn't tear my gearbox apart.

Will definitely be watching the entirety of that video later! I just have a 99 s320, it does however have most of the options :)

Thanks for the tip, that's one of the things I have been doing, it also works if I manually shift to first before it dies or slow down smoothly enough for it to keep it alive in second gear. I can se in your footer you have owned a w220, just to clarify the w220 doesn't have a "C" mode but has...

Hello, new around here so not quite sure if this is the right spot, but am grateful for any help. So I bought a mercedes w220 some time ago and ever since the car has been dying at stops, not allways but sometimes, I think I have narrowed it down to it not going into first gear on its own, I...
