Well my Mercedes (E320 CDI 2002 722.6 transmission150k miles) has transmission issues.
Before we part company, I just wondered whether it is a simple fix or is it terminal (ie not worth the cost against the vehicle price).
Driving home the other evening pulling out on to the dual carriageway and without any warning I had no drive.I turned the ignition off and had drove for about 3 miles then again nothing.I repeated this procedure until I got home.I checked the transmission fluid and it seems OK – clear fluid and no dirt on the dip stick.No apparent leaks under the car or any obvious history of preceding gear box issues - noice or gear shift/stuck problems.
It still has this problem – it will drive but for a short distance – 2/3 miles changing up the gears normally then no drive.
Preliminary research indicates a number of possible causes.
Do gear boxes fail like this or could it be a blocked filter faulty sensor etc.
Any advice most welcome - Amanda
