- E320 CDI sadly now sold and deeply missed ,C250TD estate sold as well!,v 220cdi nice if working!
Hi I hope someone might be able to shed some light on the problem with my vehicle..it has been to mercedes and faults read robbed me and then told me i need to go to a specialist re the box.
It started very shortly after they replaced an injector. Un related im sure! Firstly the reversing sensors failed and i was unable to start the vehicle in Park only in neutral. Then when engaging gear the geabox light came on and it went into limp mode. On resterting i could drive it but it then started not changing gear and ending up in limp mode again.
I took it to mercedes.. they couldn't tell me the problem other than gearbox.. but i had asked them to check the battery as I read it as 11.3V on changing gear..they made no comment on battery although it does need recharging if vehicle is left a few days. I also asked for them to reset the parameters on the ecu to which they said REVERSE the problem starts again..
Does anyone one have any knowledge on this.. Is it the brake sensor/reversing sensors shorting or a problem with ecu or gearbox or the battery as it appears i can only reset when battery has been on charge.
Many many thanks in advance
