Hi All. I have owned A 2003 E/class 320CDI for nearly two years, and in that time I have always had problems after the vehicle has stood for a couple of days, without use, in that the battery gets very drained and low, sometimes with not enough power to start it !
I have added a new Alternator, and both Mini, and Main Battery, being a 100 Amp One!
When this happens, the Dash Warning always comes up saying, “ Battery Protection System, Temporary Unavailable!”
Has any body experienced a similar problem that they can advise on the cause, and Remedy?
Many Thanks

Ps. The Diesel consumption, economy is also very poor on this vehicle, and only returns approx, 20/21mpg locally, and 28/29 on a run! The computer only shows about 15 mpg on starting, and can drop to 8/10 in traffic!?
