Where do I find out this information? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

My 1999 C-230K hesitates after a cold start and the transmission shifts roughly from gears 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 during the warming up. I understand there is a bulletin number: 22992 or NHTSA number: 606293 that talks about this, but I don’t know where to find information concerning this. If anyone can shed a light on this subject I would greatly appreciate it. Any suggestion or comment will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like the NTSHA web site does not have these for free.

My recommendation.... buy an alldaya DIY subscription. Not only is it full of valuable info, but it includes ALL service bulletin for your car as well.

I would second the Alldata recommendation. It's very helpful.

You may get some more problem-specific info on this site, if you re-post and this time give a more specific subject line (for example, something like "Rough cold shifts, '99 C230"). Many of us will skip over generic subject lines ...

400E,

Great recommendation. I think of every entry I make here as an "archive" that I or anyone else may possibly want to do a search on in the future.

Getting a subscription to what many of us mechanics refer to as SOMEDATA is a good idea, but before you spend the money check with the reference section at a branch of your local library. Our downtown library has a subscription, and it is free to use.
