I am about to buy an automatic Mercedes A-160 & the seller has told me that the gearbox is Damaged. I am a First time buyer who knows nothing about cars!!! Or the cost of repairs. Below is the description given:"The car itself is fine other than the fact that when selecting drive or reverse, it displays a fault code "F". You are still able to drive it, however, it goes into 'limp home' mode where you only have 2 gears. 1 drive & 1 reverse. the engine does & has always run well."I would like to know 3 things please:
How much roughly would it cost to repair this problem?
How much would it cost to replace the gear box completely? (as appose to a repair).
Would the repair & replacement costs apply to both Manual & Automatic Cars?Many thanks for helping to understand this, I look forward to hearing from you.Jaz.
