selection

Hello all.. Just wondering if the selection of the gearbox can only be done while the car is stationary, or you can choose your option while on the move? I don't want to damage the auto-box by doing something stupid... Ta.. David ('56, W203, 5-speed, C200cdi)

Hello All, I am considering buying a new A class auto W169 and cannot decide which engine to select. Can anyone help me decide ? I will be doing town and mostly A road motoring. Is the extra power and torque of the larger engine worth the extra cost ? Kind Regards Pugfire

I have a 1998 W202 C280 auto that I am experiencing problems with the gear selection. Putting the selector in to drive or reverse does not always engage the gear.

In this cold weather, it is beneficial to use an oil that has good cold start flow properties as it will get to the parts of the engine that need it far more quickly. The "w" number which means winter is the key here and the lower the better. It may seem odd but a 15w or 20w will struggle...
