716.6 sequential issues
Hi all,
I have sportcoupe M111K engine with 716.6 box. I was looking for w209 320/500 but stumbled on this little one and it was cheap. And seems like a good project.
Drove the car for about 100km all went fine. Yesterday I was driving around the block just to get the error and 20meter from my home on the way back it happend.
Car went into neutral, on the dash "TRANSMISSION VISIT WORKSHOP" and "F" on gear indicator. I turned it off and on which didn't fix it. Removed negative terminal after few mins still the same. But after about hour later I tried and car drove fine(cold at this point it was about 10celsius temp). Might be important when I drove it home the other day about 100km I used only "manual mode" granny shifting at 2-3k rpm. The drive around block was on auto mode only and I floored it every straight I found after that car threw a code "F" its was 10-15min drive.
So after my research I found guys on Sprinter(and VW Crafter) have same gearbox. I found the pump is common issue (some members here had that issue) checked the pump and its fine brushes are about 60%.
Changed the relay N15. Car did have P2080 code if I remember correctly.
Not sure if rpm sensor false reading will throw gearbox into "F" ?
