Hi All,
So my battery on my 08 E550 has gone flat again after the car has been sitting outside for two days.
I have previously had a new battery fitted only a few months ago.
I have booked it in to go back to where i bought the car last year. They are pretty good.
They said to me it sounds like a module is not shutting down and draining the battery.
Its going to an electrician who will need it for a few days to run a diagnostic so to work out where the drain is coming from.
When i used the car everyday, the voltage reads fine and starts ok. Its just that two day of none use that does it.
Is this a common issue? What are your thoughts guys?
Thanks in advance.
Gary.
