I've just sorted out the gearbox ECU on my 01 C270 Auto and now need to fit the replacement Pilot Bush-gearoil is getting past the present one. Any link or help at all with this would be gratefully received.

I've cleaned out all the oil from the ecu connectors with electrical spray, and all the wiring thoroughly back as far as possible. The ecu is now in the centre arm rest for a bit, with several tissue traps threaded through the wires as a warning device. A bit OTT, but then who would have...

gearbox ecu codes Took the car-in first gear-to the computer man. There are two codes..110 and 146. They're both to do with speed comparisons between the speedo and what the sensors are telling the ecu. An impermissable transmission ratio and a sporadically implausable comparison between...

Thanks-that was my plan together with checking the oil level.

The auto gearbox on my 2001 270CD is stuck in first gear permanently. Over a few months it's played up-going round a corner and booting it a bit, it can drop out of gear, nothing there. Stop and restart the car and all is fine for ages. After a bit of a bash on the motorway it has stayed in...

Got it now-excellent. I'll get at it tomorrow.

Having a problem downloading the attachment-i'll keep treying.

Hi All, Does anyone know the position of the yaw sensor on my '01 C270 CDi. Is says in the Haynes Manual that it's over the rear axle- I've had the rear seat out and can see nothing. In the boot there is a panel behind and beneath the back seat-the fixings look very secure although it may be...

Hi there, It's a recent car-5 months or so- and has done 133k. There's nothing to show it's ever been changed. Mart

Hi Thanks-good news I hope. I'll hesd the ESP way. I did have the box stick in a low gear near home (after a fast run) a while back. Worked fine next day and up till now. Should I get a filter and oil change? Thanks again.

Hi All, I have a 2001 c270cdi Auto. My ESP light is coming on if I do anything more than gently corner. It resets after a journey and all is well. Recently it has started, at slow speeds, to put the brakes on one or more of the wheels, so it shudders quite a bit. When I pull in, turn off...

Hi All, I have a 2001 270 CDi and it has been displaying the 'ESP' Go to a Garage message on the dash. This light stays off until I corner urgently, should I say, when it lights up. If I drive at motorway speed for a bit, and slow down, it has seemed as if the brakes are coming on, with a...

Hi all, having tons of trouble getting the glowplugs out of my '98 c-class. There's oil blowing around a fair bit so I've decided on a gasket change. Can anybody provide a link whatever to get instructions on how to change it. It looks a reasonably straight forward job, I just need the idiot's...

I'll give it a go-anyone any idea where I might find the tool? cheers

Hi All, It looks as if I'll have to take the cylinder head off my 1998 250TD. One glowplug is snapped and two stuck in the thing. I've followed excellent advice from several other members to check the plugs out and find faulty ones. Seems they're all nacked and I have 5 new ones anyway. I was...
