Some idiot. Not only does it increase the cost to work on these, they’re inherently dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing, and you almost have to have the Star diagnostic computer to reset everything if you touch them. -D > On Sep 15, 2017, at 11:28 PM, Craig via Mercedes

[MBZ] Battery Crapped Out on W211

SWMBO went out to go to work this morning and when she climbed into the '05 320, she said she saw the clock running backwards. Strange, she thought. So she tried to start it and nothing except for a message on the computer saying the battery is suspect. I've never replaced the battery on this.
