Hi,
I have a W203 C220CDi on a 2003 plate with 100k miles and have recently (Last Friday) had a new doofer (I think its called a clutch or frewheel or something like that) fitted to the end of the alternator because the old one had frozed and wouldnt rotate.
When I took the car home all was well but after three or four days of the car not moving I started it and a malfunction message came on saying battery/alternator take car to service station. The front lights flashed at the same time as I started the engine so I stopped, turned off and started again, this time all was well. Its happened twice since then, always during wet weather. Now all seems to be well.
Does anyone hav any idea what might be wrong. The Merc dealer who did the work asked me to book the car in but I'm reluctant incase the error has something to do with them and the new parts they fitted.
Any help would be much appreciated.
