A170 CDI automatic gearbox problem "goes in F mode"

i have a W168 ,A170 CDI which goes into F mode , its an automatic with tiptronic gearbox. Does anybody know exactly where i can start, do i go to MB for a diagnostic scan or is there other specialist help i can get around manchester, or do i simply approach gearbox specialists to re do the gearbox, reading messages here im confused please help. What can one do exactly without getting ripped off to repair an auto box in F mode? anyone who managed to overcome this problem?

I have just posted a load more info on this problem on my site got to page 59 and link 'fully auto & ACS transmissions' and read the mail lower part of the page it could well help solve your problem.

If it does please be kind enough to post feed back, one way traffic serves no purpose at all .
We don't even know if the person posting the question has bothered to read the replies.

My car was displaying the dreaded F on the dash, took it to an independent Mercedes repairer in Manchester called M Star ...

ordered part from Mercedes called gear selector module, which is the gearstick and its components which link to the gearbox, part cost £325 plus VAT , fitting labour and repropgramming car £74.50, ... M Star in Radcliffe Manchester are good.... try them for any Merc

If you had read the mail I have just posted on my site you would almost certainly have found that all it wanted was the infra red sensors cleaning , clean them up using electrical contact cleaner and who know you might have saved yourself a good few £.plus labour costs
But then I forgot Merc drivers have plenty of Money
