- C200/ 1996/ 1998CC PETROL AUTOMATIC
I had a problem with my Automatic 1996 C200 which was diagnosed as my ECU. The ECU got repaired (at 1st it was only firing on 2 cylinders, that got repaired and then only 2 injectors were working and that got repaired as the ECU repair is under 1yr warrantee).
On repairing the ECU the rev counter stopped working, but now car seems to be under fuelling (and stutters as well as won't idle without juddering or cutting out if engine isn't warm) and overfuelling (high revs). In addition it drags itself from 0-20 as it acts as if there is no power then all of a sudden jerks into action. It doesn't seem to change gear at convenience (i have to take my foot off the accelerator pedal then step on it again to change gear!!
Diagnosis says transmission is the problem. Is this related to the ECU? If so should i send it back to the repairers or is it transmission that is external to the ECU?? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
MB's are normally a joy to drive and this is my 3rd after having 2 190's, but this is getting to be quite tiring now
