Need to run tablet battery down occasionally. True? Why?

Make sure you push down hard on the clutch just for grins then, does the engine just click, click, click? If it does the battery is not dead but it is down enough so that it wont start your car. If all the above is true/right whatever all you need to do is charge the battery. If the above is NOT true/right I need more information. Text me back and I\'ll try to help.......................Bob

You have a puzzle. Mercedes has many unique features and issues.
Can't help much since this is online and you haven't heard it run. Do a car fax and see if any reports on specific issues have been reported.
The codes mentioned do exist, but you will need to call a dealership or mercedes mechanic shop.

Failed Transaxle

They only last about 80,000 miles & if you never change the fluid ,
then it's all down hill.

Needs to be rebuilt

I never heard this, but it may be a bad speedometer sensor(which is located on the transmission). If the alternator is not charging, try this. Turn on your truck and while it's running remove the ground battery cable, if it dies on you, then you need a new alternator, if not then your alternator is working like it's suppose to.

Just from word of mouth I don't know how true this is however, I have heard that alot of European cars are voltage sensitive and all you may need is a new battery. Sounds like when the car runs the alternator will charge the battery giving you correct voltage. This may also be why its periodic due to the alternating temperatures from morning to afternoon etc, the older the battery the harder it gets to maintain amps at start up. Ya never know ifya havent tryed it.

You need a battery and check the terminal make sure its clean and tight

check to see if the fuel pump fuse is blown or the ecm(computer) fuse has blown

NEVER HEARD OF THIS BUT IF YOU NEED TO KEEP PEWER TO THE EMC USE A SET OF JUMPER CABLES AND HOOK TO THE BATTERY TERMINALS . KEEP THE JUMPERS ON THE CABLES WHILE YOU CHANGE THE BATTERY. THIS SHOULD DO THE TRICK

Just get a jump, then if the car doesn't start then you'll know to program the computer, I my self haven't heard about this.

if it ran out of gas it just may be air locked, you can't just crank the engine turn the key to the run postion for 3 seconds and shut off and do this 7 or 8 times then try starting it. The fuel pump will not pump while cranking it is a fail safe if the car is in a wreck and the pump won't continue to pump gas out and catch on fire. This should fix it for you.
