Mercedes gearbox problem - al70 - 15-02-2022 Hi all, a friend has this old 2005 clk kompressor 1.8, some times even on a cold morning it won't go into D, this can happen at anytime, let's say for instance he's out driving all day, pulls into the shop and car won't go into D, he's found a solution by removing the battery lead for around an hour and she's fine again, has anyone ever came across this problem ? Cheers RE: Mercedes gearbox problem - gcs190 - 15-02-2022 (15-02-2022, 08:44 AM)al70 Wrote: Hi all, a friend has this old 2005 clk kompressor 1.8, some times even on a cold morning it won't go into D, this can happen at anytime, let's say for instance he's out driving all day, pulls into the shop and car won't go into D, he's found a solution by removing the battery lead for around an hour and she's fine again, has anyone ever came across this problem ? The gear lever (its position sensor) is damaged. RE: Mercedes gearbox problem - al70 - 15-02-2022 thanks for the reply gcs, is there a sensor to replace or does he need the whole shifter replaced RE: Mercedes gearbox problem - gcs190 - 15-02-2022 The replacement is the complete lever, but you can disassemble them and use what interests you from each one. RE: Mercedes gearbox problem - al70 - 15-02-2022 thanks very much gcs, goodluck. RE: Mercedes gearbox problem - stasi - 16-02-2022 Common problem. Solution: Clean and re-solder the optocouplers. RE: Mercedes gearbox problem - al70 - 16-02-2022 Thanks for the reply stasis, I told him that it could possibly be repaired but he's looking for a quick fix so he ordered a new shifter, cheers. |
