On Wednesday this week, after driving for around two hours, and traveling on the straight and level at around 55 mph my E220CDI (68,000) sounded as if it was straining to shift up a gear. I poked the throttle to see if I could force the change but that only produce a increase in revs,with the...

Well not completely lost. It just about engages when the car is cold but there is no reverse once hot. When hot and I select reverse I can feel a juddering but the car does not move. I am aware that it is often the reverse gear that goes first... The car is a 4 speed. I have checked the fluid...

Hi, When I'm in reverse gear and fully lock the steering, the rev counter starts to jump a little and it feels like the car is about to stall (but dosn't). It's fine otherwise and dosn't even do it in normal drive gear, only when in reverse! I have a C230 2005 Auto - does anyone have any...

Hi all. I have a 2014 E-Class 250 Saloon, bought from new in Sep 14. I have had to ask the dealer on 2/3 occasions now to look at the gear shifting logic in 'Econ' mode. The car stops shifting at its normal range and allows the RPM to increase to approx 2800-3000 RPM before changing gear...

Do find my car seems rather slow to go up the gears in manual mode , it feels like an age to feel the next gear , I know you can have a map on the Soft wear but would this speed it up or is it just how this old rugged box is !!
