Hey guys hope your all well
Ive got a C180 w202 1997 and im having a real big issue nd a very expensive one by the looks of it.
Couple days ago out of nowhere my car decided it wont start anymore I have had the same problem around 2 years ago in my E230 W210 1996 and i had to scrap the car becuase i have tried everything.
The problem is the immobiliser or the alarm or EIS ( electronic ignition switch) something along those lines ive got the flip out key fob unlocks and locks the car as it always did i put the key inside the ignition lights on the dashboard all light up as always and i try start it nd its just not having it turns over engine cranks but doesn't start and I've also got the red and green led lights flashing on the rearview mirror as soon as i put the key in the ignition and turn it to position 2 green then red green then red green and red and it will carry on for about 20-30 seconds or so i have changed the key fob batteries for brand new ones i tired synchronizing the key i disconnected the battery called all of the car key programmers and car locksmiths around me to ask if they have any idea about this but it looks like theres no cure for this and i really dont want to sell the car for dirt cheap and scrap it i love this little car ive had it for 1 year and not even once has it let me down till now please if someone could help or have any idea about this i would be very gratefull.
