hi i'm a new member on this forum,i live in europe in scandinavia.i own a C43 AMG 1999.i really love the car but i don't like the weird shifting i have on the transmission when i drive in D-mode.this is what happens= from standing still when i floor the gaspedal 1st.gear works great,when changing automaticlly to 2nd. gear the car looses speed and hezitates to change to the2nd. gear,when i let of the gas pedal slightly the 2nd. gear comes,and the rest of the gears 3,4,5 changes perfectly. what's the problem with 2nd.gear=? the car runs perfectly otherwise. it's like new with only 70,000km on the clock.
is it the crappy MAS **** or what=?can u tell me what's wrong=?
do i need to uppgrade the software on the transmission, the battery died last time when the car was at the shop and they had to decode my hifisystem,windows,sunroof but they didn't program it with star computer.
have another question.
climate system looses graphics on the window it only happens sometimes.when i tap on the glass everything comes back and works great. can something be done to fix this,i do'nt want to buy new one from the bloodsucking stealership.

but when i'm driving and the tranny changing gears in D-MODE from stand still and i step on the gaspedal to hard,changing from 1st to 2nd gear the tranny gets weird and i loose speed.maybe the qure is not to step to hard on the gaspedal and the car changes gears without problems,i've tried this and it worked,this forum is great.
about the climate control. on saab cars here in schweden the new ones had problems with their lcd-panels for their climate and audio system loosing graphics,they had replacing parts at discount prices,that means return the damaged one get the new one cheaper. that will never happen to a mercedes.
cheers to ya all.

i have also heard that if the mas is out u can destroy the cats if u drive (hard) with the car, the fuel is going to drain the cats and burn the ceramic inside the cats is this true?

things with and without wheels
The catalytic converters will get damaged if they get loaded up with too much fuel ,weather burned or unburned,ther is more inside the cats then just ceramics ( Platinum and Paladium)
