Hi,
I have a W163 270cdi with auto box. The problem is that I have an intermittant fault on kick down.
When the car is started for the first time and then put into drive the kick down works no problem at all, gearbox has smooth gear changes. When I then stop the car and park up whether it be 5 mins or a couple of hours, when the car is restarted , put into drive and set off the kick down does not work.
It has been like this on and off for a couple of weeks, no warning lights and gearbox is smooth it just is the issue of the intermittant kick down fault.
The problem did occur once a couple of months back where a small vaccum pipe had come off but as soon as it was put back on it was okay. I have checked that pipe again since and it is okay.
If anyone has had same issue or could point me in the direction of what could be wrong then could you please let me know. Thanks
