Hey fellas.. My C230 that is for sale is being a *****. We took it to the shop last month after it went into crawl mode.. they replaced some type of conductor plate and some other part related to the transmission.. It worked for a short time and now it's doing the same thing.. Same code.. talking about replacing that conductor plate and some other part related to it.. whatgoesinside of it I guess..

He replaced the MAA and the conductor plate.. and a valve in the tranny... Yeah..

We just had it towed to MB Of Austin - they are a horrible dealership, service wise. .. maybe they'll be able to fix it though.

ANy ideas? Please help.. this is my wifes car and she's freaking stranded.

Year will help. Also do a search, I think a lot has been said on this subject already and you might find some helpful info to get you going.

Mike

Not that this is gonna help tonite...but I've heard MB of Round Rock is much better. And service at MB of San Antonio is pretty good too -- at least in my experience.
