Afternoon chaps,
I'm at my whits end and am looking for some help.
I've a previously very reliable 1995 e220 w124 with 135k on the clock with what i reckon must be an intermittent fault which is causing the battery to run completely flat.
The history is as follows - During the cold snap my battery went totally dead - had to get into the car by going through the boot. I've since bought a new battery and my garage has tested the alternator and all seemed fine.
However a couple of days after the new battery was fitted the battery went totally flat - meaning i had to get in through the boot again. It's been back into the garage where their electrics guy gave it a once over and couldn't find any fault.
It's not the vacuum pump for the doors and as far as i can tell the retro fitted alarm isn't connected anymore.
I've had a look through the forum at various other posts but there doesn't seem to be any solid answers to this type of problem - if indeed there is a solid answer!?!
Anyone got any ideas? I'm at a loss.
cheers,
Mark.
