420D automatic gearbox issues

ste0mac · 12-06-2019, 07:42 AM

basically the problem is this: when I go to 50km / h for example, it was normal to go in 5th speed, and now it goes in 6th / 7th and sometimes 8th speed !! The throttle gets heavier because the car at these speeds runs at 1100 / 1000rpm, sometimes 900rpm .. I took it to the dealer because it's still under warranty .. they updated the software and changed the gearbox oil .. but its still the same shit!! the car have 50,000km, it's very strange already having problems of this kind

That's just the stupid comfort mode trying to save fuel. Switch to sport mode, it uses the gears in a much more sensible manner.

Forget about problems, install XHP Flastool and make a flash of a melody for your gearbox, and you will see how there if it is true that all problems end.

Yeah .. but a while ago the car in comfort mode was running smoothly without these weird issues .. I started to feel the car a bit weird from the moment we recalled to change the egr valve and the egr radiator. From then the car was not the same .. but at the dealer they say that everything is normal .. but it is not! I know my car! it is not normal drive at 50/60 / 70km / h at 1000/1100 rpm ..
