Hi all, first post here.
I recently purchased a 2005 C220 CDi auto estate, in the main very happy.
Have had a number of problems with the gearbox.
Firstly and this has now happened 3 times, when pulling away hard the car accelerates perfectly, but when I ease off there is a sort of thump and I am effectively in neutral, engine revs and nothing else happens. Put it into neutral and back to drive and it was alright.
Took it to the Garage and they kept it for 3 days put 200 miles on the clock and said there is nothing wrong with it.
Second problem and this happened yesterday, only had 1 gear, again put it into neutral and after that it seemed fine.
lastly engine seems to rev really high at times before it decides to change up a gear, that could be down to me but I have tried driving easier and it still does it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
