Dear All,
My E320cdi automatic (w210 late 2000 with 90k miles) has an intermittent problem whereby :
- It won't kickdown, or even change down on the throttle.
- It seems to lack power in whatever gear I select manually.
- Seems unwilling to rev much over 2000 rpm.
I have clean the Mass Air Sensor, but to no effect, and changed the (very) dirty air filter. The problem is not normally evident when I first start the car, but after about 20 minutes driving something seems to happen in the auto-box which causes these problems.
I just wondered if anyone has had a similar problems. Any Ideas please? Thanks.

PS. I read something about an oiled-up electricaly plug connector into the gearbox being the cause of various auto gearbox problems - could it be this?
