E 350 cdi automatic 2010 94000 mls RED warning on dash.

Hi all, very occasionally i get a red warning on dashboard it reads ( Without changing gear visit workshop) This is on for 2 seconds then disappears, this only happens when pulling away from standing start ie stopped at traffic lights or a junction, otherwise no problems. Anyone got any idea what is going on Thanks

Get it scanned by a specialist buddy , there will be a fault code

Does the car change gear despite the warning?

Has the car had 2 gearbox services to date ?

hi, thanks for the reply, on checking what service history i have, the car has always been service by Mercedes dealer. Services 1 to 7. 10 thou. 16. 30. 44. 55. 68. and 83 thou. The only reference i have to auto trans. is oil and filter changed at 16,000 mls. thanks.

Very strange the trans oil was changed at 16k miles, sounds to me that the transmission is low on oil

That sounds more like "Engine oil and filter" very very very unlikely that a main dealer will have done an ATF change at 16K miles

hi, thanks for that, the service sheet states the Engine oil and filter changed at 16000 mls and gearbox oil and filter changed under service plan 'A'
D'ont know if that makes any sense to you.
Regards Harry.

Strange one that at 16k. If its on the ESS or not every 37.5k miles is the way forward. Would be good to get it when its booked in depending on whats wrong. Good luck and keep us posted!
