Hello
2001 E320 CDI Estate S210 TRAMSMISSION
Can anyone shed light on what may be causing the following symptoms:
The transmission does not step down - the car just gradually increases speed, so a nightmare when overtaking or when on hills. It does get up to top speed but a slow process! -
It may be me, but it seems ok-ish in first 10 mins of driving then lapses into this no-step-down mode. Or I'm just optimistic?
The manual step down via the transmission leaver works ok..
Had the car looked at - no diagnostic faults came up and the cleaned out around the mass-air-sensor thing. Garage thought they'd sorted it - but its still happening. On a 180 mile journey yesterday and it was just not stepping down.
Someone mentioned an ECU re-set to erase the car's predictive driving memory that in involves ignition ket set to one, foot on accelerator for 1 min etc.....?
Does anyone have any suggestions ? Many thanks
