battery

Hi folks, I own a 2016 E220 Bluetec estate with stop/start. It let me down today by refusing to start outside my local shops and needed some TLC from the AA. The technician's diagnostic tool recommended a new battery - the current one is date stamped 2016 so it's likely the original. He also...

My C200 CDI 2005 switches off immediately after turning the key to the second ignition position. All of the lights in the dash turn off and to turn the engine on you have to turn the key back and turn it to the third position really fast. The key recently had a battery change and it works...

Hello all, bit of an issue following leaving my parking lights on when I went away for a few days, I’ve returned to a fully flat battery. Blade key is not engaging (turns 90 degrees left and right but doesn’t open door) I’m not the most technical of people but does anyone have any suggestions...

Hi Guys, I was planning to replace the Starter Battery and I know some requires the PCM to be reset so Alternator doesn’t overcharge. Is there any chance anyone can confirm if 2018 cla180 follows that trend? The manual provides option to DIY and not necessarily dealer/garage but doesn’t talk...

Hi folks, Apologies if this question has been asked in the past.. But I have a 2013 C180 Coupe which I bought back in November 2020 and whilst cleaning it a few days ago I thought whilst I was in the engine bay I'd check the date stamp on the negative battery post. Looking at the post it had...

Hi folks, Bit of an odd one; I’m getting the “battery convenience functions” warning while I’m sat idling in traffic. It’s happened twice now, and clears within a few minutes once back up to normal driving speeds. Two questions: 1. Is this relating to the little aux battery under the bonnet...
