Hi everyone, greetings from Lithuania. I'm new here and I've registered here cuz maybe you could help me!
So I have this 2000 E320 cdi who was sitting for a two months now and I'm deciding to keep it or to sell it. So it have couple problems. Here they are:
1. So when I came up to a car at used car dealership battery was dead. We had to plug it to start it up. It started properly everything was good. I drove a couple kilometers and bought it. I had 300 km to drive home. When I filled up diesel and drove into highway I noticed that there's something wrong with transmission. It felt like switched to Neutral but my lcd screen is broken so I didn't know what is showing. I stopped released the brakes and it was all good. So I drove it for a week and later I noticed other problems. When it is cold it shifts rougly from first to second gear. I can feel that shifting but it should be smooth. Once it stuck on third gear. After restarting the engine problem fixed. Also one day car was jerking. Like there would be no diesel but there was a full tank. Shifted to second gear and all good. So how to fix that problem?
2. When the engine is cold I can hear a whistle inside the car. And it's realy loud. It starts at 40 km/h. Then I always push the gas to 60-70km/h and when i release gas pedal it dissapears slowly when rpms fall down. When the engine is hot I haven't noticed that sound.
So I apologise for my bad english. Correct me if I have made mistakes. I hope you could understand what I wanted to say. If there's any questions just feel free to ask. I really hope you petrolheads could help me!. Have a nice day.
Oh I remembered another question. Does it have OBD II port? I've seen some videos of S210 wagon in usa and one man readed error codes with obd II scanner, but maybe european versions didn't have that?
