    Hi gang. Bought a 2001 c220 cdi at auction recently. Key fob that came with it was badly worn & only worked intermittently. Ordered a new key fob from Harrogate mercedes as always best to have 2 keys. New fob worked fine for first week but now started to unlock only intermittently. New fob & new batteries so whats causing this..? New car battery too. I have seen this issue described on forums as eis or control box..? I just want the locks to work. What is my best, cost friendly, solution please. ty Merc peeps.

    2000-2002 w230 C Class come with a switch with 2 CPU's in. These CPU's (HC908 1J35D) are prone to breaking down and causing problems - One and only solution is a new EIS.

    There is no easy way to do it with a used one, Trust me I've done a few and only 50% of them have continued to work!

    Visit Mercedes and take £500 with you!
