[MBZ] YAY ME!!! $900 07E350 semi-success
I cleared the 722.9 trans fault code (Y3/8y5 B1 brake control solenoid) and took the car for a spin. At first it was still in limp mode, I drove it down the road a bit then parked and fooled around with the scanner and looking at other codes and whatever, shut the car off and restarted it and it shifted and drove fine. YAY ME!!! I'm sure the solenoid needs to be replaced so I will do that and do fluid/filter too which I am sure it needs. So that says that the conductor plate is likely not bad and it is just that one solenoid. One hopes anyway... that would be an easy cheap fix other than the fluid/filter which is like unicorn piss or something. Anyway... the guy told me that it would work fine for awhile after clearing the code then it would go into limp mode again so this tracks that, so he was honest about it. It also has an intake flap code I will need to sort out, could be simple or not so simple (but not too difficult just fiddly). But the car was running OK and the AC BLOWS ICE COLD Aside from the few things in the interior the car is quite nice, body in great shape and looks really good. I wish these seats would hold up better but seems to be a standard thing that the driver seat bottoms wear out. I should see if I can find replacements. -- --FT ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
