Hi so I just bought an E200 1996 model Mercedes everything was fine for several hours I drove it and all was working. Once I left it for about 3 hours on the ferry and returned to drive it away it would not start.
It turns over but wont ignite. I urgently need your help and really hope that I can sort this out because I am about 700km away from home and stuck here which cost me time, money for accommodation etc....
General info:
Model: W210
Key: Flip up blade key (no spare key only the one with remote)
First registered: Singapore
Alarm: Pretty sure its factory MB (no stickers etc)
The symptoms:
1. Rear view mirrors red/green led alternate blinking when i put key into the iginition and turn to 2 position or try to crank.
2. Red light blinks when car locks remote (without problems)
3. Green light blinks when car is unlocked with remote (without problems)
This is what I have tried so far:
1. Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery (nothing)
2. Resyncing the key by using numerous lock and unlock sequences with the remote
3. Had it Scanned with error code something like ignition not permitted
4. Replaced FOB batteries with new ones and repeated all the previous
Possible solutions I have read about so far:
1. Faulty K40 relay? (Am pretty sure its not it)
2. Batteries dead? (not it)
3. Ignition Keyring sticking out (its a bit loos but nothing unusual I think)
3. I read on another forum that there is a tiny philips chip in the remote but when the technician opened the remote there was no such things, could this be possible the reason?
I hope that there is a way to just disengage or bypass the immobilizer because at this stage I am pretty sure that except for that the only option is order a new key from factory in Germany. Which will take time and money I dont have.
Please help I really want to go home
