Mercedes Benz C220 1998
C Class 220 1998 model

Vehicle start could not raise and goes off immediately. All efforts to make it work properly proofs abortive. The problem came up when it suddenly went off at low gear and could not start from that moment. Please what should be done? The vehicle is manual transmission.

Vehicle needs diagnosis with scan tool first, but sounds like it could be the transmission is in "limp mode"
This stuff requires SDS level scan tool to properly diagnose the problem.

If the "Check Engine" lamp is illuminated in the instrument panel you need to get the fault codes read out with scan tool first. In the US we can go to local auto parts store like Autozone and get free scan for codes in engine computer.
