as a qualified AMG mechanic i can tell that you can replace the rpm sensor without changing the gearbox,however it can mess up the atmospheric pressure in your inner door card....
The conductor plate is what you need to replace, I think the technical term for that sensor is “turbine speed sensor” I don’t even think you can replace that sensor separately, it comes together with the conductor plate. I’ve replaced them before on the 5g tronic and 7g tronic Mercedes transmission, the 5g is easier because it does not need programming, the 7g (which is what this car has) needs to be programmed after being replaced. The part here in the states is about 250 US dollars plus fluids and filter. You’re gonna drop the trans pan, remove the valve body and behind that is the conductor plate. Not hard at all to do. You’ll need someone with Mercedes tools to program it though. It’s just an hour labor time to program it so you can have it programmed at the Mercedes dealer. Your transmission is a variant of the 7g-tronic transmission but it’s the DCT version instead of the torque converter style in the basic 7g. Still has the conductor plate like the basic one.
This doesn’t have the regular 7g it’s a completely different set up engine at front and gearbox at the back with the diff not as easy to do as the ones found in the normal cars
@@siavashsahraei4177that’s the easier transmission to replace the conductor plate on. I believe there are a few videos of step by step instructions on TH-cam. No programming needed.
Hi Chris. Great vid... And thanks for the Mivia plug - excellent. Just one thing... Don't let Olivia sit with feet on the seat. If you stack it and airbag deploys, she'll be in traction for months.....
I've had a gearbox changed on a 2019 GT-R. What I can say to you is If you talk to Mercedes center, not only the dealer they will end up taking care (they will cover part of the cost) of you as this is a common problem. Also there is a second route that is rebuilding the gearbox. Mercedes don't sell any spare parts for the box but this getrag gearbox is installed in many supercars (7 gear modern dct Ferraris, Mclaren, Ford GT, etc...). Ferrari does indeed sell a partout of this gearbox so you can get spare parts trhough them or other manufacturers that use this same gearbox.
Hey Chris. I had a similar problem with my C class. I called Mercedes and complained that with it being a common problem they should subsidise in some way. They called me back and agreed that I pay for the module and they supplied the labour. Saved me over a grand. Thanks Mercedes.
8:10 this cute little car is polish Fiat 126p. This little car was something that motorised our country. Imagine 4 people family going for holiday with all staff needed for a week or two across Poland.
@@TheGalifrey I’ve done a few of them. I’ve done a couple on the 5g-tronic and on the 7g. The 5 speed is a lot easier, no programming needed, the 7 speed needs programming.
Please tell your girl friend to be careful, having your knees up with your feet on the seat or dash will end badly in an accident if the airbag goes off… they go off with enough force to break bones 😮 just want you to stay safe.
Hi Chris. That's really unbelievable, because I live very close to where you parked your car at the beginning of the video, at Lake Traboch. On the road up to Präbichl, you could have stepped on the gas more ;-). Cool road trip from you and awesome content that you are producing. Keep up the good work.
Chris before you do anything with the gearbox ,check the gearbox oil.I had the same problem with my c-class and when i went to a mechanic the oil was like 2 liters down.
Awesome vid loved it and the interaction w both of you and ok not for sure but i think the best thing is a computer upgrade kit its like a performance enhancing for turbos and such BUT DONT get it for that just add it and leave at standard factory settings and it should over ride settings and you could use the MAF sensor tuning to over come the RPM variance its experiencing that will still require finding the best kit with good history of Mercedes success thats best option used here in USA on many cars and especially Trucks with trans response issues bless you both and congratulations on a real adventure glad your back safe or close to it cheers from lasvegas!!! PS propose to her dont let her get away you guys look great together! Be safe
About the little green car - it's Fiat 126 or 126p if it was made in Poland. We call it "Maluch" - the literal translation is a "little one". But don't be fooled, a family of 4 could pack into it for a 2 weeks camping vacation ;)
Have you changed the size of the wheels from the ones that come with the car? If so , you may need to re program the control unit with the size that you have fitted or Road test with the correct size that came with the vehicle. try look at this first as it may be a calculation/calibration that’s confusing RPM signal, and possibly giving you an incorrect speed you are travelling. Also trying this and looking at this will be a lot of cheaper than just jumping in and putting a box in it or replacing the RPM sensor . Let me know how you get on cheers
Im going to have to tell my brother the price of the gear box, fingers crossed his GT doesnt get the same issue. Sure you can fix it Chris, your a good mechanic.
They have a more or less standard "pattern" they follow doing this procedure. If you look into their " patients" pics, you'll see what I mean. You get what you pay for.
This car has a transaxle and the gearbox has been used also in a Ferrari. The first generation has a recall for failing but if you don’t you can expect serious costs
Love your content! Saw you're having trouble with the sensor on your car, I might have a solution - we've got one at our parts shop from a parts car. Authentic and in great condition
Some trip that 👌🏽keep it up!! I’d recommend a camera man/woman or a steady hand or maybe some Camara holders while driving the constant shaking and turning made it an annoying watch, every time your missus got the camera and filmed you it seemed better
In Germany there are just two ways. In villages wie apply the rule "Wo kein Kläger, da kein Richter" (where there is no plaintiff, there is no judge) and just wash the car in the yard or in front of the garage. In the City you go to the washboxes that allow bucket-washing. But to be honest, this country is sad, washing on sundays is forbidden and if you're not living in a village and own a yard, you can enjoy a dirty car.
I recently sold my AMG GTS but the gearbox failed on mine and had to be replaced. Went at roughly 25k miles and a brand new part inc fitting was roughly £17k although that was in 2022.

Another great video chris. Been subscribed since you had less than 40k subs on the main channel and its great to see all your success. Just being nosey but how much was the hair job if you don't mind me asking. By the way the AMG is do cool love it.
The gearbox its made by getrag and its the same model used in the ferrari 458, ff, california, portofino and more. Its a comon problem to have this fault, Its somebody on youtube who can help its called " Hollywood mechanic" has around 1.8k subs atm and explain in details what you need to do to and the common problems with it. I hope that helps!
If dealerships don't answer the phone promptly, then they are not coping with their workload, Take your wallet elsewhere. Great trip that, keep up the great content.
I just don't get it. What's wrong with these girls? Is it that hard to sit normally while traveling? A potential collision even at low speed and a potential airbag deployment is a medical catastrophe
They were travelling at a low speed and you could see her massaging her foot. being seated in a car for such a long time can cause some discomfort in your legs and feet. It's only really an issue when they place their feet on the dash or out of the window
haven't you got any radars through austria?:)) went myself there and i got flashed 2 times, they tend to put their mobile civilian car radars in the most random spot near the road and they get you in an instant, great vid btw
Agreed on the Stelvio - far, far too busy, and the only place I’ve been overtaken by a local in a Ducato school minibus whilst trying to be a helmsman 😂 How many wild dogs/pony’s/mules did you dodge on the Transfăgărășan by the way? Bloody everywhere! Try the Splugen pass in Switzerland / Italy if you fancy something off most radar’s 😉
I feel for you... I know what it feels like to face life with no hair and I did all sorts of things to fix it and try to keep the blonde blue-eyed girlfriend... nothing worked in the long term. Everything I did to try and fix me after throwing thousands and thousands left me worse off. Here is what I have learned. There is nothing wrong with being who you are. Some women will love you no matter how much hair you have. You could drive a million-dollar car with hair implants and marry a woman who loves you as long as you look as good as the day she saw you, and once some of those plugs fail... leave you. Or.. you could be with a woman who loves you no matter how many hairs you have on your head ... you will learn a lot from this experience and I KNOW what it will be. The hair plugs was a bad idea, God made you perfect... but you didn't trust women to enough to love you bald.
