Hi guys,
(Please excuse my 'lack' of technical explanation, I'm no technician)
Right, I've started to notice upon driving my 270 when warmed up, especially up inclines, the car starts to 'judder'/struggle upon acceleration, easing off seems to cure it slightly.
It is worse when box set on the 'S' mode, not as bad when in 'C' mode.
In standard mode it's around 2.5-3k rpm - in comfort seems to be around 1-2k rpm when the judder starts to kick in.
When it starts to show the above symptoms I have noticed what seems to be a whining/grumble noise, assuming it's coming from the gearbox???
A few days ago, the car went into limp mode twice, showed ABS fail and something else I can't remember, but tht has suddenly stopped happening and I've driven a good couple of hundred miles since then.
Now, I've been searching the interweb for hours 'trying' to see if I can find the same sort of symptoms and have unearthed a whole load of things to be honest, everything from MAF to MAP sensors to Torque Convertors to gearbox issues..Valeo rad's failing etc etc etc etc etc......
I'd like your thoughts and opinions please guys.
I'd really appreciate it as I'm totally new to Merc's and I'd really like to get it sorted out as it's slightly worrying and annoying me.
I was thinking of a gearbox/TC drain and refill but what do you think??
Sorry for the long winded post!
Thanks in advance!
Andy
