| Many thanks for the feed back and information, I was convinced that MB ask owners with the 'F' problem to keep the outcome a secret as having had the work done we never get feed back on any forum on the problem.
I take it MB have not detailed your bill with the part numbers of the components they have changed/replaced?
So if the 'F' shows again in the next 12 months 2 years, how are you going to know if it's one of the parts they claim to have replaced?
The other aspect is that your service history is incomplete without knowing what parts have been replaced how can you pass this info on as a selling point to the next owner.
It sounds as though MB have replaced the selector module in the cab as well as the Valve chest plus fluid, along with programming the transmission.
Thank goodness there isn't much more they could have changed.
For peace of mind and warrantee work I would want to know precisely what they have fitted, transmission sump magnet for instance! That's the bit that attracts all the fines metal bits that come of the transmission mechanism.
Having said that I'm very pleased that you car is now running well and at least we know what the 'F' stands for! Only expressed when seeing the size of the bill I suspect. Good luck and may you know have many years of trouble free motoring.
And if you have no objection I would like to past this information on my new page on the ACS automatic transmission, although thanks goodness I haven’t go one on my car.
Best wishes Lofty
