W203 Autobox Problem

[Mark A]

This has happened a few times now over the lastcouple of months and I am starting to get a bit worried. Last night when I was coming home, I overtook a car just before coming into a village (hard to overtake after) - when we came out the other side I accelerated and then all of a sudden I lost all drive. had to coast to a stop let everyone past and once I had put it into N for a second then back to D everything was OK.

Any ideas ??

If it was a one off thing, then very hard to say, I have sometimes had the odd thing happen once , and never again.

Hello, Have you noticed or can you see any fluid leak from the gearbox area. Have a quick look underneath to see if you can see any fliud leaking on to the under trays.

If no fluid leak then a electrical fault is the most properble cause, i speed sensor of something like that.

No signs of a leak has only happened a few times - I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullit and get someone to run diagnostics on it!

Thanks anyway.
