Recently had a problem with a gearbox switch which has been replaced.

Are the batteries in properly? Are the battery connections clean? Do any of the other functions on the FOB work? This might be one for a Mercedes dealer. A phone call to one could generate a little customer PR with a simple solution!!

Mercedes has a cold start valve to spray extra fuel to assist the ignition when the temperature is cold. This is the problem with the cold start valve is not opened when it needed. There are 2 possible causes:
1- The valve is bad.
2- The coolant temperature sensor is bad.
The valve part is expensive and labor is not cheap. The first economic way to address is to replace the coolant temperature sensor. This sensor gives a different resistance reading as temperature changed. When it is bad, it give an erratic reading at cold temperature so the ECM could not recognize to give a signal to open the Cold start valve.
