Let me start at the beginning...*sigh*
We had a '97 C 200, right? Sometime early on this year, the tranny died. My father was driving at the time and said that he heard a high pitchin whining noise from the engine....The car's acceleration gradually started to decrease. It stopped responding to the gas pedal and then eventually came to a complete halt.. The guys at the Merc dealership here in Jamaica said that we had to buy a new tranny all together!! They found aluminum gratings in the transmission and they said that this was atypical of an automatic transmission. So we bought the new transmission...and then sold the car.
Shortly after this, we bought a brand-new E 200 Kompressor. The same problem happened all over again!! So a new transmission was also bought for this brand new car, which, incidentally had under 9000km on the odometer! Can anyone tell me why this problem happened again? Or why it happened in the first place? Did anyone have a similiar incident?
