Hi all
So I've had my R129 500 SL for 5 yrs. Every so often the ASR and ABS lights come on. Normally car is over revving by 500rpm ish and after a couple minutes it stops and back to normal.
Yesterday while driving The transmission gets really violent and clunky. Park to reverse jolts the car and its over revving to 2000rpm. Engine temp is rising slowly and without foot on break the car is accelerating slowly on it's own.
I've read that it could be the VFC needs changing and to do water pump too. I'm gonna check the fan shortly to see if its spinning freely as says should need some force to spin a few times otherwise if it spins easily its knackered.
Are these easy to change or shall I let mechanics at it?
Also should water pump be changed?
Any other causes for ASR to come on?
