Hi All,
Been lurking for a few years but it's time for my first post.
I have an '06 CLS 320 cdi. I love the thing to death but it wouldn't start this morning and gave me the 'Reduced Breaking Power - Start Engine' warning in red before all the lights on the dash gave up. I couldn't immediately get into the boot either, but it does occasionally stick anyway.
If it's been sat for a few days in the cold I'll often get the battery protection warning come on and not be able to use the seat warmers etc.
I'm guessing it probably the battery, but as I've been unable to find the exact same symptoms on other threads of this kind, thought it might be worth asking. If it looks serious I can upgrade my AA coverage to parts and labour, leave it 2 weeks and then give the recovery guys a call.
What do you experts think?
