Hi all , recently purchased an 1998 e280 elegance, have started having problems with the keyfobs not starting the car.
After reading forums I have replaced the batteries in the key fobs , both of them , I have one fob that will unlock the car boot etc, and one that will start the car but reluctantly and not very often open the car.
The one that opens the car will not start the car at all.
The other one will stat the car but yesterday for example fine for five starts, then refused to unlock the keybarrel (? not sure if thats the right terminology for smart key thingy) for ten minutes , then started the car. The car starts first time every time when the key turns but the key will not always turn.
I have charged the main car battery and now have a trickle (solar) charger on it to keep it topped up but this seems to have made little difference.
Do I require an EIS module ECU change and if so where's the numbers for these things so I can get some quotes Ta in advance
