2003 S Class Merc - Petrol - Auto Gearbox Issue - Right Hand Drive - English

Hi

Car keeps going into limp mode - stays in 2nd and you have to turn off and wait to restart to temp normal use back for a while.

I had the gearbox oil and filter changed and there where metal particles in the old oil...

I have read a post saying just change the gear box oil several time, and it should be ok..!!

Any help would be great

Find a mechanic with the tools to read the TCU---if you have large metal particles you have a serious problem---if the metal particles are smaller than sugar size you do not have a problem
