I am looking at a Cabrio and have a couple of questions about problems it has.
It is a 2.0 automatic and when you start it you have to let it idle 20-30 min before you even try puttung in drive or reverse and when you do it slams in gear. Also does the same driving shifting between gears. The car has 115k and runs okay otherwise. Should I run away or are these thing possibly an easy fix ie: no major transmission work. Also the trans seems to be a sealed system how do you check fluid level and condition? |

I will politely add that I would never buy an automatic anything from a german car company...
Think about it. Mercedes....serious issues with the auto BMW....ditto Porsche..ditto Audi...ditto VW....king of the pack. The simplest fix would be to swap in another tranny from a lower mileage wrecked car. Rich |
