I have a 2000 W C240 and it's due to go to the stealership next week for a service.
In the last 10000 miles or so, the gearbox has beome increasingly sluggish and when you need to kick down it seems to take a while before it notches down a gear or two - frustrating and dangerous and definately not sporty as the badge claims!!?? It's already been to the stealership to be checked out but they assure me they 'have run diagnostic checks' and everything is spot on? The car's covered 39k miles.
The car was purchased in April last year as a signature motor and the warranty is due to expire in April. Is there anything I should be suggesting the stealership to check or replace in this regard???
I must say I'm getting damned frustrated with it and it spoiles what is otherwise a very nice drive.
In the car's defence I do drive it probably harder than the average motorist (but not excessively), and in any event their should be no excuse in my opinion.
Advice much appreciated.
