A female friend was driving a 2007 Mercedes E350. (149K miles) The rubber hose section of the transmission fluid cooler line rubbed against the front pulley. It developed a hole & ruptured while she was driving. It sprayed (pumped) transmission fluid all over the engine compartment & she noticed smoke from under the hood. Then the serpentine belt broke & she lost AC, Power steering, etc. She coasted to the side of the street. The car was towed to me. We replaced the transmission cooler line, the serpentine belt. I have added 9 quarts of transmission fluid (the total capacity is 10.2 quarts). When started & in gear, it will not move (forward or reverse). The transmission dip stick shows full….. I have gone through the process of “resetting” the transmission, with no desired results. What should I do next… check the pump.. or replace the transmission? I hate for her to junk the car as within the last 6 months, she had over $5000.00 worth of work done to the car. These are the 3 trouble codes: P0012 stands for “Intake (A) Camshaft Position Timing – Over-Retarded (Bank 1).” The code indicates that your car's computer has detected a difference in the desired camshaft position angle and the actual camshaft position angle. The P0730 code in a Mercedes indicates that there is an incorrect gear ratio in the automatic transmission. This means that there is a difference between the rotational speed of the input RPM and the transmission output of the RPM. The gear ratio is related to how the torque converter works. A P0015 code in a Mercedes indicates a problem with the camshaft timing that controls the exhaust valves in the engine. It starts up, runs OK… just won’t move… any suggestions?

If you do not have a DAS, DAS Xentry or XDOS diagnostic system to correctly diagnose her car suggest she go elsewhere as you do not have any factory diagnostics.

The conductor plate is the most likely thing to fail. If it has never been changed, that might be worth trying. The conductor plate holds both speed sensors.

If they drop the pan, and it looks like this, then the transmission is shot. More pictures in my build thread > https://mbworld.org/forums/c219/8443...ml#post9023947
