If there is oil then clean with CRC QD Electronic Cleaner and pray! Might also be a good idea to try to reset TCU by unplugging it overnight (obviously engine off - key out!) or at least hope so since its a relatively easy and cheap fix.Ĭheck your Transmission Control Unit for oil - under the passenger kickplate carpet - not likely to have oil there, even if there's oil at TCU tranmission oil is technically NOT a conductor of electricity. Search for DIY and its a good idea to change the transmission oil (partial) and filter while you're working on this. Its under the car just above the transmission oil pan at the front passenger corner - protected by heat shield. *** Check for transmission oil leak at the pilot bushing - adaptor (MB# A203-540-02-53 / about $12 part) - two O-rings stretches too much over time and oil leaks into electrical plug at transmission. Transmission oil level should be checked at 80 degree Celsius with proper dipstick (search if you need to make one) ![]() Should have transmission oil changed every 39K miles (60K km), regardless of what MB-USA says. can anyone that has come across this type of problem with solutions give me guidance. The car is sitting at a friends trans shop but he as well is not a Mercedes transmission specialist. I have pulled the trans pan and its clean, no residue of clutches or metal or burnt smell with the oil. Some claim the transmission is shot others talk about the TCM being soaked with trans fluid and causing a short. there are many differences on a possible solution. I have read mulitple threads about this issue and also about the codes. I just dont have the background for transmissions or Mercedes for that matter. I'm been a tech since early 80's and now I'm an instructor for a local high school. I used a Snap-on Solus to retrieve transmission codes. The car will drive 100% for approximately a mile then goes into limp mode. ![]() A couple of days ago the transmission started acting funny and would get stuck in 2nd gear. I have a 2002 c230 Kompressor that i have owned for a year and half. Hello, thank you for looking at my thread and assisting with my problem.
