Today I travelled down the dual c/way with cruise set at 65mph.
I braked to turn off the dual c/way & took a side road to the left, when I re-applied the throttle there was no power, the car had gone into limp mode.
I stopped and restarted the car & it was no longer in limp mode, but for the next few miles the gearchange was very erratic. Everytime I applied the throttle there was a delay as the auto box seemed to be changeing down a gear before it would accelerate.
I know I'll need the fault codes read, but could turning off a dual c/way reasonably fast trigger something to put it into limp mode? Low auto box oil level or something? The car was seviced 2 weeks ago & had the auto box oil & filter changed by MB at the same time, coincidence?
