Hi everyone,
I have a strange problem with my W212 E-Class, this happens more in the cold but still happens from time to time even when its warm.
If I go to start the engine, nothing happens and the computer tells me that the ESP is inopoerative and that the run flat indicator is inactive, I have to turn off the ignition and back on again about 10 - 15 times then eventurly, it spins over and starts, even worse though, when it does start, if I immediatly put the car into reverse or drive, the car will cut out, so once it starts, I need to wait about 10 seconds or give a few revs to get going.
Once ive started moving, everything is perfect, its just starting it thats the problem.
Ive read countless threads about possible solutions to this, but nothing has worked so far.
I have already replaced the battery, made sure all the tyre pressures are up to spec and all are level, changed one of the fuses which my mechanic thought might be the issue (hes independant, not offical mercedes).
At this point, taking my car to a proper garage is my only option I think, so Im hoping some other people here have a solution before I do that.
Thank you to anybody who can help.
