2008 c220cdi sport
Hi, just purchased a nice c200cdi w204, i seem to be having an issue with getting the box to change from C to S, it wont respond to pressing the button, also is the gear selection supposed to be illuminated on the gearshift plate (next to gearlever) as mine is not..?

The box also is slightly snatchy in 2nd, not sure what that is as it happens early in the gear and happens nowhere near the change to 3rd, its a bit of a kick/jump, i cant see any service record for a fluid change, so will do that, but just concerned about the C-S unresponsiveness.

Thanks alot. Pilla.
 
The second gear thing sounds like a harsh TC lockup, is check the fluid levels and maybe do a change
 
Check the level sensors for the suspension.
 
I have a S204 (estate) My gear selector panel is not illuminated.
Do you mean E -S (economy to sport) or am I not understanding?
As menitoned a greabox oil change is recommended, even though its not always a servce requirement.
If I understand corretly, tiny mettalic particles can build up on some of the valves and cause issues, so a gear box oil change flushed these out and makes it good as new.
