Hi all,
Sorry if this is in the wrong place as this is the first I’ve posted in quite some time.
I’ve recently come back to Mercedes ownership with a late 2011 W204 C250 cdi with the 7g Tronic plus gearbox.
I’m having issues with the transmission holding on to 1st and 2nd gear too long and also hard shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd when cold. All other gear changes are silky smooth.
I’ve spoken with a Mercedes specialist who has said the software version on the gearbox is from year 2011 and that an updated one should cure the hard shifting.
I’ve spoken with Agnew Mercedes in Belfast who have checked my cars VIN and are telling me there software on my gearbox would be the most up to date. They aren’t willing to do take the car in to check for updates at all.
My difficulty here is that Agnew Mercedes of Belfast are the only Mercedes dealers in Northern Ireland so I’m not sure what I should do next.
Would anyone happen to know of any indies or Mercedes dealers in Northern Ireland or Ireland that would be willing to update my gearbox software and adaptions?
Thanks in advance!
Gary
