Hi, I had very similar problems with my 1998 E300TD. Read the various forums and checked changed lots of things with no improvement. Eventually took it to my local garage with a code reader and it turned out to be the rear right speed sensor ring. Replaced that and all was good again. Hope it's...

Cheers Dennis, I am now a lot more knowledgeable about my car than this time last week, got circuit diagrams and will purchase a DVM this weekend and start a slow methodical search for the problem.

Gosh thats a lot to think about !!!!! Right the tester is an Autel Maxidiag pro MD801 and does have a live data function. I do not know what can-bus is and no idea about the voltage I do not know what a gateway is. I do not have access to a DVM at the moment. I have a fair amount of ability...

Thanks for that, Yes I do have xenon lights. What concerns me now is what the other end of the linkage was attached to !!!!! Difficult to see just looking down on top, is there another part that has perhaps dropped off or was the loose linkage just attached to the bay wall ???

Hi guys, some advice required please. I have a 1998 E300TD ( W210) with an auto box and I am looking to buy a code reader for her as I intend to keep her for some time yet. Looking through various options on e-bay, Amazon etc but cannot find a suitable one, seems to be mostly for cars after...

Hi guys I have a 1998 E300TD estate with an Auto box. Recently I have had a problem which I think comes from the gearbox. When I am driving through town the car seems to surge almost like the gearbox has decided to change up and then decides to change down again straight away. Just like a manual...
