Hey Guys
Bought couple weeks ago 2003 e320 cdi, love it to bits.
This my first Autobox car, always had manual box. I do kinder enjoy now driving auto. I have few questions for you guys.
1. In the morning when car cold i can feel gear changes, but when drove for few miles gears change smoothly. Is this normal?
2. When driving at normal speed (say 40 mph) i push suddenly accelerator pedal, i get little delay before car takes off like a rocket. Is this normal?
3. W (winter) mode feels more smooth gear changes than S (sport), Is this normal?
4. Gear changes happens usually under 2k rpm, but sometime can go slightly over. Is this normal?
5. Was driving today on motorway doing 50 mph, put my foot down nearly all the way to floor, RPM reached to 4k, reached to 85 mph nearly instantly
When I bought car, i got it booked for gearbox oil change straight away.
So far really do enjoy car, cant believe nearly 10 years old and looks and drives better than my previous car (3 years old vw passat)
