Welcome to OOF
French enginePetrol? Thought that was just the Toybota diesel...
Did they BMWfy it thenIsn't it a ZF box on the straight 6 diseasalThe non 24v TD had an AR25.
Apparently so :'(Car has previous form for gearbox speed sensor discrepancies as well but they weren't significant enough to be a priority... Live and learn.Autobox speed discrepancies - usually gives a P0730 Incorrect Ratio - needs to be fixed immediately, due to the catastrophic wear it causes...
If its been slipping for that long, even if due to low fluid (though I though older merch had dipsticks?), I'd suggest that the clutches would have taken quite a hammering. And indicates a hydro-mechanical fault.No dipstick on the W221.
Thus I'd begin to suggest the box is shagged.
So either a rebuild, or a working one from a donor (and use the service kit on that) IMHO. Not sure its worth wasting that £300 kit on what is in there.
Rebuilding it with what? Lego?Quite possibly blown the gearbox on the S Class :'(As you know, they can be repaired. A full rebuild, around here, is just short of a grand. Question is, is it worth it? To you, that is.
Harsh shifts from 2-3 which became not shifting past 2nd. No external leaks and only an 0894 code, trans slipping, suggesting a mechanical issue rather than an electrical one. Basically from first start, it seems normal but goes into limbo as it tries to shift from 2 into 3 and won't pick up any gear. Eventually it might change up, and then sticks in 4th. Turn it off and on again and it won't go past 2nd. It will run all the way to the redline in 2nd, but as that's barely 65/70mph it's of zero use on the road.Quite possibly blown the gearbox on the S Class :'(Oops.
Proper shagged? Or low fluid type shagged?
I don't think these council elections have been as triumphant for the Labour party as the corrupt media are making out to be honest.See how Lundun turns out.
