We have a B200 Turbo that has just developed CVT computer problems. The dealer wants $7500 to repair it!!
Doing a google search I have discovered that there are a lot of issues with the CVT, in fact so many that I'm surprised that there has not been a recall.
I have just had my C300 AMG recalled for two issues.

Has anyone that has have problems with the CVT found a reasonable source of a new computer?

Your B has multiple computers on board. ...please explain with more details. MB have always run away when you mention CVT problems...or they are always happy to just change your CVT out for you.

There are now shops that do some repairs to the CVT. ..mostly plastic valve body repairs which tend to crack over time. You should go back and read about the many CVT problems in this forum...it's extensive...(Why not fill in your profile ?)

Hi - the MB dealer just said it was the CVT computer and that they would need to get a new one from Singapore (we are in New Zealand).
Will fill out my profile.

Taken it to a transmission specialist who has sent the CVT computer away for repair at a cost of $2000.

Was there an in-country option for you to get your TCU repaired or did it have to be sent out of the country?
