Yet another question about ignition e300d

[mark50]

HI all I have an e300d when i stop the car and take out the key and walk away from the car to maybe unlock my front door, when i go back to the car i have to lock it up and then open it again otherwise it wont start, this happens after just a minute of leaving it it automaticaly imobolises the car is this a key fob problem. thanks mark

This is a immobilizer problem not a strong point with me,it is not a key problem. I think that what ever it is it was done by the last owner

thank Malcolm it is more of an irritation than a problem I am booking the car in next week to have a diagnostics check and see what problems it comes up with

For this year of car the alarms were fitted by the MB dealers a Scorpian possibly

It's just the way the immobiliser works, it self arms after a short duration of no key in the ignition.

Good morning and thankyou for your reply, Is that particular to the E class alarm system because I have had a few c class mercs and they never did that, thanks Mark

Could be thats the way it affects the E class, I do not think it has ever been asked before, at least no one is going to steal it,, I trust that you are enjoying the car now

Morning Malcolm yes the car is a pleasure to drive there are one or two niggles to sort out but that goes with an old car. it keep showing edc and ets on the display wich are diesel and traction but the car doesnt seem to be lacking power so as I said earlier I am going to get a diagnostic check done to give me piece of mind, thankyou again Malcolm No doubt we will be chatting soon
