C250 cdi bluefficiency sport 2011 2.2
Hi all,
My 2011 C250 CDi Bluefficiency Sport had the stalling on cold start issue (mentioned in other threads on here). I've had the gearbox and torque converter rebuilt and this has fixed the issue.
However, the transmission is now doing a couple of things it didn't do before (I bought the car 2nd hand about 6 years ago so it could be that it should have been doing these without me realising). The transmission is 722.6.
  1. Sometimes when you lift off the accelerator the revs drop to idle and the car coasts, as if the torque converter has disengaged (this seems to be at speeds <30 but occasionally has been at higher speeds).
  2. When you press the accelerator a bit harder to speed up there seems to be a difference between engine revs and speed of the car, i.e. the revs rise and then the car starts to accelerate. When you let go of the accelerator the revs drop back. As if the transmission is slipping?
This is all in E (economy) mode. the manual doesn't say that the above should happen but I've read in a couple of webpages that the coasting could be an fuel efficiency thing?
Like I say, maybe it's supposed to do this but it wasn't before I had the gearbox rebuilt.
Worth saying I took it to a reputable transmission specialist to have the work done! I just want to make sure the car is behaving as it's supposed to before I go back and speak to them!

Thanks all!

Neal
