| Tiptronic problem
Just bought a 2001 ML270CDI, drives great and downshifts whenever you press the guzzle pedal. Problem is it doesn't shift up or down on the tiptronic. First time I tried it the "4" came up on the dash but no gear change. Now the "4" doesn't even come up.
Is it a matter of spraying some contact cleaner around the tiptronic or does it need a stripdown of the selector and some part replaced?
Also every time I start it, even from warm, the preheater indicator lights up for about 2 / 3 mins.
Can anyone advise / help? |

First of all, if you have a Tiptronic in your ML, then that;s the problem because that's an Audi product. :-) Seriously, I know you mean the "touchshift", and I had this problem on my ML. You will need to clean some contacts in it, but unfortunately, you can just spray some contact cleaner into the console. Fortunately, I took some photos and wrote up some instructions to help:

You'll want to check the "Window Switch" section for removing the console wood panel, then "Touchshift repair" for removing the shifter module. |
