Please Help! 1999 C240 Sport problems

So sound's like the issue is related to 1st gear being used - can't help much more than that I'm afraid (others may be able to).
 
Thanks.

I think I've read somewhere on here about the crank sensor.

Will the scanner be able to give the same codes as a Star machine, or do I need to go to a mechanic for the Star?

Thanks

Paul :)
 
Typical CPS sensor failure is cutting out when hot and hot restarting until it has cooled down a bit.

Star will do loads more as it will talk to all the other control units not just the engine ECU - if your problem is really gearbox related you may have to go somewhere with star to read the gearbox codes. Might be worth looking in the reccommedations section for someone local to you.
 
Thanks

I hope it's not a gearbox problem! I'm sure that's expensive!!

I'm hoping it's not going to cost much to sort out. I just don't understand why it's ok in W mode but not in S! Must be a problem with 1st gear! Hmmm, oh well, I think I'll find a garage with a Star and see what comes up. Is that the best idea??

Paul :)
 
Probably - there are some indy's who post here (and other very knowledgable members) - they may be along later.
 
Thanks stevesey!!

You've been a great help!! Thank you!

I'm really glad I found this forum! Everyone seems so happy to help!

Paul :)
