Hi, looking for opinions please. My wife's 2016 A250 AMG (44000 miles, manual gearbox) has intermittent problem, it is not able to select a gear - will not go in to any gear when first switched on and engine running, switching engine on and off a few times and then back to normal gearchange. May not happen for days and then return.
Been in to Mercedes but never does it when in. They are now saying may be the clutch, but having had car for 6 months, used warranty will not cover this as wear and tear item, so £2000 for a 'may be'. Thing is, it won't go in to gear, any gear, but then suddenly works fine again, would a worn clutch suddenly start working ok again for a while? Warranty seems to be pretty definitive, clutch not covered. Could it be something else does anyone think, or is it suck it up, pay £2000, and hope?
Thanks, Best, John
