yky3369 1st Gear July 20, 2017 Share July 20, 2017 Gee Glad to know i am not alone Is tat a design flaw ? Anyone drove and compared the 7G and 9G? Does the 9G behaves more 'normally' compared to the 7G? My SE told me that the 7G box feels faster on acceleration though MB figures claim that the 9G is faster.

mercymercy 2nd Gear July 21, 2017 Share July 21, 2017 thats mercedes adaptive transmission for you. every other car manufacturer buys from outside. only mercedes makes their own transmission, thus you hardly see this problem outside of merc. yes when its very slow traffic and in jams, after that the transmission lugs, doesnt drop gear and changes up slowly. I'm interested to know how long will the 'transmission lugs' last? Since it's an 'adaptive transmission' as you mentioned, would it begin to adapt again, say when you're out of the traffic jam and started to accelerate, how long will it take for it to not feel 'lugged' during normal driving?

mercymercy 2nd Gear July 21, 2017 Share July 21, 2017 Gee Glad to know i am not alone Is tat a design flaw ? To some it may be design flaw. But to me this is a grey area. Nowadays we hear a lot of adaptive this adaptive that, but at the end of the day, if it's not 'smart' enough like in MB's adaptive transmission, then I'd rather they don't do it. Not everything adaptive is good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very likely it is your kar problem. Slam throttle & shall see an immediate drop gear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah_tee 2nd Gear July 21, 2017 Share July 21, 2017 Very likely it is your kar problem. Slam throttle & shall see an immediate drop gear. Didnt happen on mine It eventually will drop gear but maybe 3-4 sec later But dun feel boost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Supersonic July 21, 2017 Share July 21, 2017 Didnt happen on mine It eventually will drop gear but maybe 3-4 sec later But dun feel boost You want drop gear or Turbo boost? Since it is adaptive transmission, it will adapt to your driving style. If you don't have an aggressive driving style, it will not change gear aggressively.

I suggest you shift to sports. Can't expect power on demand otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GB 'learns' the way we drive i.e slow, stop-go n thinks we ah pek driver. Does feel laggy after a while.

It is adapts to your driving style. If you change your driving style to be Ah Beng, the car will behave accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, if the car adapts rather quickly (5~10 minutes?) to changes in our driving style then I think it's not that bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic July 21, 2017 Share July 21, 2017 try this. stuck in traffic/jam, just switch to eco/normal mode. out of the traffic switch back to sports/sport+ this way your sports/sports+ algorithm will not have chance to adapt to your jam/heavy traffic type of driving.

Ah_tee 2nd Gear July 21, 2017 Share July 21, 2017 I duno why pple keep sayin its the drivin style My last car was >240bhp , this is a 1.6T on 155bhp I subconciously realised recently i m red Zoning very offen maybe because i m too used to my prev car Yet the car still feel powerless in evenings Mornin i still can accept, as mention sometimes i can wheelspin I feel its more due to heat dissipation design shortfall I realised w205 intercooler is flat down in the engine bay ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
