I've noticed lately that when just idling along in slow traffic, going a nearly constant speed but slowing very gradually, that the van will shift into 1st with a bit of a bang. This is an automatic shift with no input from me, often just coasting with foot off the gas. It results in a bit of a lurch with engine braking, but the RPMs seem to quickly climb- maybe with fuel being pumped in? I'll have to try and recreate this on an empty stretch of road and watch the instant fuel consumption guage as well and try and see the RPMs its happening at.
I'm unsure if this is normal for Sprinters or if the tranny needs an adjustment - about 4500 km now.
