Hi,

My car is w203 yr.2002 c180. I have problem with the transmission.

The engine light on the dashboard lights up and the transmisssion just wouldn't shift to higher gear, using only single gear.

Have tried to do everything with the gear shift (changing mode to w, s, using tiptronic, etc..). But the car just didn't respond.

The engine warning indicator lights up right after the car try to change gear (with very harsh jerking movement).

Now it's on permanently. What seems to go wrong?

 

take it to your dealer and check your oil level, if your car has many miles replace it.

 

I'd agree that you should visit the dealer but you might find that it isnt anything major. On my car it was the brake light switch on the brake pedal that was causing the problem and they replaced it for me free of charge.

Ummm....mine has just a bit over 50k kms (31k miles).

Need replacement already?

Will it cost me alot to replace it?

Really hope it was not something major.

 

Oopss....you mean need to replace the oil?
Anything major that needs to be replace?

*finger cross* "please say no...please say no..."

 

Just to update on thing,

apparently the problem was caused by flat battery, or so I was told by a merc technician.
all they did was reset the sensors, and everything work fine (and hopefully will stay that way from now on).

 

i have a feeling you will have problems in the near future with your trans. problmes like that just dont go away when you reset the sensors sorry
