Hi
I have a c200 cdi automatic on a 04 reg.
The problem is occasionaly it just wont start, all instrument panel light etc work fine,but the engine wont turn over nothing. I can tell when this is going to happen as the drive program display on the instrument panel doesnt display the drive prog letters ie a C and a P. It just shows the 2 little boxes the letters should appear in. Also the shift stick is stuck in park. If i keep flicking the key back to off and then back to the last position before it should fire the engine eventually the letters appear and it will then start.
Had it in the garage, mech said it could be either faulty instrument panel or ignition switch, the macine showed faults but it was difficult to trace the problem.
A couple of other faults have happened occasionally - ABS light just comes on while driving, I stop turn engine off try to start again....nothing same problem as above.
Also i was checking fuses yesterday and after whilst trying to start and switching key back and forth the SRS light came on and wont go off. Even machine couldnt reset it.
Could anyone help me out please? i dont want to start paying for things that the mechanic isnt sure of which to replace.
Thanks guys
