Hi guys, just wanted to give you some updates about my tranny issues (I have others but this is the most annoying and the one that worries me the most).
So far we've found out that:
- the heat exchanger and the lines and connectors were cut out (see pictures comparing a good one) for the ATF was removed as I posted early in this thread. FIXED! However this triggered another problem, now I get a slam sometimes from a hill stop&go transition. The engine revs but there is no movement, then the car engages but really hard.
- Also, the Torque Converter was giving excessive slippage error code. It was changed with another one, and the code is gone now (about 500kms since then). FIXED!
- Fluid was not flushed but it was drained and refilled in the TC and inside the tranny itself with ZF LifeGuard5, also gasket and filter were changed with OEM.
The car behaves way better than before but I still get the slip and slam from a dead stop on a hill sometimes.
Also, there is a noise that seems to come from the front side of the car between the engine and transmission (it's like two gears not engaging and therefore slipping) between gear changes mainly heard in 1st to 2nd, and 2nd to 3rd, the others I can't hear anything. There is no slippage in subsequent gears except the one I explained above.
After having that slam I mentioned, I went to INPA and got this error message (originally in German):

I didn't get what that error means. Seems more like a report.
If someone can point me out to what might be happening I will really appreciate it. It's been over 2 months since I bought her and I still have no joy with her (I'm too picky about car issues, I don't like to have any).
Best regards!
