hi guys, would really appreciate some help. the car is C180 mercedes coupe 2002 and its coming up with codes p2500 and P2502.
it goes into limp mode and getting worse. The dealer wants to replace the gearbox but i wonder if there is a simple solution?

hope there is someone who can help many thanks
Adrian

 

Hello and welcome to the forum Adrian - both those codes are transmission slipping codes. Not too sure what stage your car is in - I've read that this is fairly common on the C classes. A new trans is unfortunately a likely solution. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks.

 

Thanks so much for your reply, i was hoping that it may be a sensor problem or perhaps something like fluid in the tcu? Would be nice if there was a check list to go thru to see if the transmision can be saved. If it needs replacing do you guys sell? and about how much are they installed?
thanks

 

No problem, glad to help out. There may be a checklist, unfortunately I do not have access to one. We do not sell full transmissions, just various components for them. From what I've seen, a refurbished trans for your car would be in the ballpark of around $2500. Installation various from shop to shop - usually MB shops charge anywhere from $90-150/hr for labor...that's just a ballpark figure as well.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
