I recently bought a 2003 Clk 500 (private sale 3 days ago). The car run great on the 120 mile trip home, I also done a small run of 20 mile or so the following night. I've now booked a week off from work to 'enjoy' the car and yesterday we all climbed in for the first proper family day out. I...

Hi guys, My uncle has a 1997 Mercedes W202 C250 TurboDiesel (2.5L OM605 engine) with manual (5-speed) transmission. On the clock about 220,000 miles His transmission is showing the following symptoms: Doesn't want to shift into 2nd gear (from 1st of 3rd). The moment you put it in 2nd it...

Hi All, My 2005 W211 CDI E270 has this niggling issue wherein after a hard acceleration, lifting off the accelerator will shunt the transmission into neutral. allowing the car to coast down to ~30MPH will engage the driving gear again but after this it will misbehave, the tiptronic manual...

Hi All, I purchased a 2002 C270 CDI a few months ago and although i absolutely love the car, its been a headache ever since. first it was overfuelling because of a split turbo pipe, then the intercooler collapsed. But most annoying of all it gets stuck in gear/kicks into neutral. I took the...

Good evening, I have a S500 (W220) and since I bought it, the car jolts when coming to a stop. This occurs only in the morning. Once the car is warmed up, the transmission is very smooth. From "jolts", I mean that the transmission bangs when shifting. So, I changed the fluid, filter, pan...

Hi. I'm new to the forum and also to owning a Mercedes. I hope this post is in the correct place. As the title suggests I am having a bit of an issue with the auto transmission on my 2000 V220 Ambiente 2.2 CDI. The vehicle has 185K on the the clock so fairly high mileage I suppose. The fault is...

Hey there, Im rebuilding my Tranx. The torque converter failed and made a mess. My transmission comes with double sided friction plates, i was wondering if anyone knows if i can fit single sided friction plates from the newer models? This ones are better cause there is more friction area...

Hi everyone...I have not long acquired a 2008 Mercedes c220 cdi sport estate auto (5 speed) and really like the cars dynamics and road holding, but am finding the auto box rather sluggish and this is really ruining what should be a great drive, was thinking about a remap but am unsure if this...

My E55 has 208000 miles on the clock & i'd like to change the filter & fluid in the box Is this possible on these or is it a sealed unit?????

Hi guys !! Not sure if this should be in this section or the electronics section but I was just wondering if the engine & transmission share the same ECU or are using separate ones on a 2007 SLK280 ?? Thanks Mark

hi all have a 2006 cls 320cdi (obv auto) on start up its fine selecting reverse once the lever down to D or N it wont move back into R (and therefore P), just refuses to go up and obv I dont want to use excessive force. However once in a blue moon it works fine! engine temp has no...

ving gearbox problems after service could some tell me how much transmission fluid should go back into a 240 clk please

For anyone who has a late nineties car that is prone to automatic transmission oil finding it's way up the wires to the TCU and the footwell, this is the best explanation of how to fix it by changing the connector on the gearbox. I have now done this and it was quite easy. Note however; if...

Hello All. Had the C32 checked over today by an independent MB specialist. Generally OK, but a handful of minor issues I'd like to sort as preventative maintenance measures (breathers leaking, wishbones etc). One of which is a small leak of transmission fluid. Anyway, this got me thinking I...

So finally one of my three W169 starting developing an intermittent transmission fault with the dreaded Visit Workshop message being thrown up on the console. Although the fault can be cleared by switching off and restarting the car, it was causing an annoyance to me. A Star diagnostic...

Hi, I'm replacing the auto transmission fluid an filter on a 1983 SL280 (R107). Can anyone recommend correct torque setting for the sump? And how does one drain the torque converter - can't see a drain plug. Thanks.

Hi Guys, i am due to change this fluid, any idea of the cost, should i go to a good indy or official MB dealership.

I've got an '02 W211 E270 CDi (produced in March). I suspect that my car suffers from the Valeo radiator problem leading to glycol contamination into the ATF, at least the oil did smell a bit like antifreeze, the rpm wandered a bit between 1,200 and 2,000 rpm on light load. There was also a...
