BUMP any help with this please?

OK so I disconnected the battery terminals and lifted the battery out and the terminals looked in good condition and there was no water underneath or near the battery that i could see however the underneath of the fuse box looked really corroded, please see pictures below of the battery and fuse...

Am going to disconnect the battery terminals and check for any corrosions on any of the wires and clean them up if there is and then I'll take a look at the fusebox.

Is it easy to swap a fuse box is there many wires to disconnect/reconnect?

when you have fixed ones in the past that have suffered from water damage what did you end up replacing on the A150? If some of the fuses are damaged wouldn't I be able to buy a new fuse box and replace it? I suppose i could undo those two battery tray bolts and lift out the battery and check...

The battery was only changed last year so not sure how it's gone dead already. I think something's draining the battery but what it could be I don't know. How about any fuses or relays I should check?

Hi, I've got a Mercedes A150 W169 2005 manual. The cars been struggling to start for a while now but today i tried starting the car but it's completely dead. You can hear the key click when you put in the ignition and the lights on the dash come but it just doesn't turn over at all. We have...

Thanks for the replies i appreciate it, yes the car has been scanned and no faults came up. A friend of mine had a snap on diagnostic tool that we used but no faults were shown. It is definitely an intermittent starting issue because since yesterday it seems to be starting fine now. I think like...

Hi, I've got a Mercedes A150 (W169) manual which is struggling to start, the car feels like it's struggling to even crank it feels like the car has no power what's so ever. Bearing in mind i just took the car for a fairly long drive and it was fine, it was after i left it parked up and tried...

Thank You :)

Thanks for your help i really appreciate, time to look for a guide on how to change the plugs wish me luck lol.

Thanks for the prompt reply, i think the first thing i want to check are the spark plugs, is it easy to gain access to the plugs do you know? P.S Nice picture that Merc looks sick!

Thanks for your help just to let you know i recently got a brand new battery fitted and the car has been fine since then:)

Hi, My cars started to make a weird noise when under acceleration am not sure how to describe the noise it's making but it feels like the cars struggling for power when accelerating. It's not been serviced in a while either, any ideas what it could be? I've recently installed a brand new...

P.S I forgot to mention when warning lights were coming on steering became very heavy, it was like the car power steering anymore either?

Are you sure my battery needs charging because I thought the reading I was getting at 11.8 to 12 volts was enough voltage when the car was off. I also switched it on and then measured the voltage again and it was between 13 and 14 so i assumed it was ok. I did start the car and let it run for a...

P.S Sorry to ask this but is there not a cheaper diagnostic tool that I could potentially use other then star to figure out what's wrong with my car please?

Hi, Sorry I should of explained a bit more clearer, I didn't get a garage to run diagnostics. What I did was do some personal tests so I first checked the battery voltage and that was ok and then I did another test to check if the starter motor was faulty, here is the video I watched: From...
