Hi all,
I picked up a 2005 (55) C180 avantgarde saloon with 60k on the clock as a run around for the year. (Had to sell my Disco due to wedding plans )
I'm wondering if anyone can provide any insight to the following issues i've noticed:
1) Gear changes are not smooth, and struggle to cope under fast acceleration (missed gears) or decceleration (jerky). The disco was an auto so i know you can't just plant the foot - but i feel like i have to be incredibly gentle under acceleration.
2) Drove into the office car park and when i engaged reverse to park.... Nothing. Slid it back in to drive - Nothing. Had to switch engine off and on again to get the gear to engage.
3) To top it all off - engine mgmt light came on yesterday.
Anyone have any insight to the issues described - and could the Mgmt light be connected to the issues i feel i have with the gearbox?
Much appreciated
Shaun
