transmission

Ok Fellas, My beloved E320 is behaving strangely. Occasionally (twice in the last three weeks and once at Christmas) I'm losing kickdown mid journey. Car will only then accelerate very slowly and not much past 50mph. Switch off and switch on and bingo - normal service resumed. She's...

We own a 2011 convertible E350 W212 convertible. In July under its service plan it was serviced. This included a transmission oil change. It is now nearly November and the car has barely done 1000 miles in our ownership because either the transmission / torque converters have failed and been...

Hi all I am looking for a bit of advice. I have a 60 Reg E200 which I bought second hand in November 2013. The first two services were at MB dealerships and the third was by the independent garage where I purchased it. It has done 36,000 miles. About 10 days ago an engine fault light came...

Hi there, This morning I drove to the mechanic for a wheel alignment, he did his thing and then when I went to start the car again, it wouldn't start. It turns out that the battery was dead - so I got it replaced. Now, I get an error message on the dash that says 'Transmission Malfunction -...

Hi, I had quite a moment on the M25 today when my S320 CDI without any warning lost drive. All I felt was complete lack of throttle response before the car coasted to a halt. With the engine off drive was restored but only for a few hundred yards, then lost again. I tried this a couple of times...

Hi, I own a B170SE 5-door Auto CVT, Petrol. It recently started playing up when going uphill, like it's struggling to choose the correct gear and after a few hours of driving will report "Transmission failure - visit workshop" on the dashboard. Over time, it's become progressively worse and...

Hi all. I have just purchased a 2007 Mercedes B Class, B200 CDI SE CVT. the odometer says It has covered 86,000, it has some service history but none of them mention a transmission change, from what I have been reading the transmission oil should be changed around every 37,000 miles, I never...

Esteemed posters, I turn to this forum for help with a problem I cannot shake; Every morning when starting the car, it will have an ABS warning, and if driven, the transmission won't work. It sticks in 3rd gear and the speedometer does not work. If I turn the ignition off and remove the key...

Hi All, Ive found a few bits and pieces on 2nd gear issues for the same or similar models. What i have found is that since an oil change and when its cold, changing into 2nd gear (especially in the morning from a cold start) it is difficult and sometimes it crunches into gear (it doesnt grind...

Hi This is my first post on any forum, so please forgive me if I've broken any un written rules! A few months ago I bought a 1999 E280 auto, I believe it's a W211, due to a broken wrist. My plan was to run it until my cast came off, then go back to my beloved Land Rovers. But I liked it so...

Well, I've now enjoyed the W211 E320CDI A/G for 6 months of ownership but there are a couple of issues which need sorting although one may mean big bills ahead and time to get rid. Firstly, engine temperature - currently it runs at about 60 degrees. I assume this is not the correct running...

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 Looking for ideas here, my CL65 has a nasty habit of jumping out of drive and into neutral when accelerating. All drive is lost, I coast over to the hard shoulder and once below about 5 mph or when stationary, drive returns as normal. Used to only happen when accelerating briskly, now likely...

Hi, I need some help with a gearbox issue on my C220 CDI Auto. Whenever I try the kickdown the car goes into "limp home" mode. It does it ONLY if kickdown is attempted OR if I press the throttle quite hard. The diagnostics (not Star!) show various codes to do with implausible or impermissable...
