Limp mode

Hi, my w203 goes into limp mode when I accelerate from rest. I have had a problem with a leak from the auto gearbox which has now been addressed by replacing a faulty electronic speed sensor panel and plug. Any ideas ?

Yeah shows an error for gloplug but had them all replaced. Sometimes the glo light comes on when driving but goes out again of its own

mate you need to check for fault codes in the transmission , generic obd2 readers show fults in engine only ... first step you should read out faults in tranny , based on these faults we can see how to solve that issue of urs ...

one thing you can do is check oil level and check if it smells weird ( burnt )

Thanks, my mate is a mechanic for mercedes Benz and used their state of the art computer which showed gloplug failure. The car was originally in for a problem with the gearbox which required the electroplate being replaced, and the plug and gearbox serviced. The fault of limp mode and gloplug light coming on was already happening.
