car not changing gear when it should.
had been told that the gearbox ecu may be the problem and was a plug and play fix but dont know where to locate it on this model.
can i be sure this is the problem? , could it be hydraulic oil?

have you checked the transmission oil level its easy if it has a dipstck most autos of that age do ,check it with engine running.if it dont have a dipstick it can probably be checked with a bung on the side of the gearbox (engine not running),but some are now sealed and need no maintenance

Plenty of reading here for you on that box and 3/4s down gives you procedure to check ATF .

It could be the gearbox filter located in the sump easy diy and cheap £50-£60 drain gbox oil remove sump and you will see the filter .It is recomended to change filter at 100.000 miles.Get filter from mercs but get transmisson oil from a motor factor its cheaper.This sorted my problem on my 2001 E230 wich would not move when driven for about half a mile
