What's the code?

Mercedes Benz w202 gear is now fixed. The only thing is that it doesn't select until the car gets warm, I have to cover like 2 km on gear one then restarts the car before it starts selecting to other gears. Gurus in the house what do u think may be the cause of this. My mechanic here said I should continue driving that it will fix itself. And I noticed if I put it on D I hear a jerk sound.

Go and reset that transmission

Hello everyone!

I have a 2008 ML350 with a scored cylinder. Mech advised I replace the engine. Toks engine was purchased and after installation error codes P0016 and P0017 came,

P0016: Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A)
P0017L Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor B)

Research says, it could be the balance shaft as the problem is common with M272 engines. Research says a test can be done by setting one of the gears to 305 degrees and checking the holes in both A & B above if they correlates. If they don't, most likely a worn balance shaft.

We all know the one week warranty on this engines, which will be due tomorrow Thursday. The test above have not been done, the mech said it's the timing and that it doesn't really affect engine performance, but I get strong head. I need to know if it's best to return the engine and get another before it's too late.

Biko!

5years running no engine or transmission issue.....my engine pristime pass toks �

nakoks:


Sorry about your engine issue considering the vehicle is barely 6 months.I would have suggested you ran a check on the engine to know if it falls under the series plagued with the balanced shaft issues(https://www.mercedesmedic.com/check-my-mercedes-benz-for-balance-shaft-issue-by-vin-m272273/) but since you cant do that cos i doubt you can locate the number without the VIN,I suggest you return that engine to avoid paying for a second engine eventually.All the best(sorry i couldn't spend time to look at it yesterday)

Praxtech:

Return the engine. That's the best choice you have. Let the seller give you a legit working engine

OfficialDJ:
most Mercs from 010 upwards recommends changing your tranny fluids when it's reached a 40,000 mile threshold..
Just stick to your factory specified transmission fluid and you should be fine...

Praxtech:

Depending on the condition.

hats off amigo..

If I could, I would...

But I actually stick to the manufacturers timeframe for oil changes, and besides I'm as busy as a honeybee which means scheduling regular maintenance checks is a luxury for me...

I actually saw a post of a guy on quora who changes his engine oil at monthly intervals, and pray tell; his engine pictures looks similar to stainless steel adorned with engine oil.
So shiny and sludge free...
