Hope it is not a starter issue. I experienced same on my acura last two weeks. I had to change the kickstarter and all is well now.

Ehen..ah..want to ask a question,was your car vibrating at anytime before this happened. I noticed an usual vibration of the car when idle

Not vibrating. I stopped to get something. Car refused to start. Engine was finding it difficult to roll. Tried with my friends car battery, same thing. After like 45 minutes it started. Same thing happened the next day on my way home. After that, it refused to start till I changed the kickstarter.

I drive an e320 too 05 precisely, the first time it happened to me I shocked as per never experienced it. so I parked the car and off engine to get something, then soon I enter to start , turned the key nothing I had to call Rewire and checked everything all good so we decided to change battery and it started easily, and whenever such happens again I just remove the two battery clips and fix again then it come on again.

You've not fixed the issue na. You're just managing it.

Hello,what could be wrong. My E320 w211 won't start, I drove somewhere today and everything was fine on my for me to enter my car to leave and the car starts rolling as if there is no petrol inside. I poured like 8liters inside but the car won't start, initially it was doing like it was going to start but the *slow* was so weak and it later went of since then it just rolls and nothing happens,so I just parked the car there so as not to kill the battery. Please what could be wrong..can it be spark plug issue?
Remote diagnosis would be difficult. It could be anything. Get a competent technician to scan the car and diagnose the cause.

That E320 is a funny car, some times I just laugh when anything out of the ordinary happen then the car will fix it self again
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by cbrass(m): 12:45pm On Dec 11, 2023
I think also Benz is not just ordinary car that you just jump in and start driving,you need to take your time to go through the manuals so you can be prepared for anything and you will know what the issue is even without waiting for a technician. Also try to learn on "the job" as your engineer is fixing pay attention so that you won't need to call him next time Incase it happens

what can you say about the braking system especially reduced braking pedal on the dash
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by cbrass(m): 8:05pm On Dec 11, 2023

Well this may sound strange but I will advice you to charge the secondary battery, or change it Incase it is bad. Also if your main car battery is no properly charged it may trigger that thing too

yea I noticed the braking is electric in some ways. what I do anytime I want to start the car is pump the brake and I won't experience it. w211 is a very solid car. Aside changing oil, I never did anything on engine or gear

SHAMELESS SCAMMER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You will forever remain a nairaland FRAUDSTER !!!! Forever and ever till eternity !!! Till death do you part !!!!,

And it's really mind-baffling how someone like you, a chronic sick scammer, manages to find a platform to spread your toxic opinions and insult people without any checks put in a place. Nairaland seriously needs to step up their game and start conducting thorough background checks on their users. It's high time they tighten up their screening and security process to ensure a safer and more positive environment for everyone!

and for the insult : may herpes / syphilis / staphylococcus aureus / gonorrhoea / HIV aids Ebola befall and kill you, plus your mama ,your papa, your children , your extended relation ,your entire generation (born and unborn included )!! be liquidated by untreatable infection
Ah, I see your retarded mother has opened her rabies infested dungeon of a vagina to let you out? grin

Missed the banter.
Ready to be annihilated this festive season? And fed to the dogs?

Yes please...
You're obviously evidence of God's sense of humor when creating people.

It better you repair the car, SBC cost 160 k in Abuja. It not only a Mercedes problem, even Toyota Corolla have abs failure too.

SBC has a higher failure rates because it's got a lifespan which depletes by each press of the brake (200k -500k presses). Toyota corolla ABS do not have lifespan and doesn't fail if there's no underlying electrical problem.

But wait a minute the SBC doesn't even spoil like that except your car is older than 25 years which I doubt . Is your brake still catching? If yes, have you considered doing SBC threshold reset? .
