Any other info you can offer?

Checked the SAM briefly, doesn't appear to be wet or have any moisture, didn't remove it or anything though. Can't get an auto electrician to look till next week, he said its unlikely the SAM and you'd normally find other electrical problems too. So can anyone offer any advice at this point...

Also spoke to Revtronic (company that repairs clusters) and explained what's happening and this was there response; I'm not to sure that the cluster had failed ? I suspect that the front sam unit may have failed or had water ingress ?? Please check the vehicle further . Faulty clocks usually...

Took it to a friend with a code reader and this is what it's showing, he also said it wouldn't let him connect to the cluster directly so he said it's worth getting them tested to know for sure. Am I better off sending the clocks off to get tested, or do these codes point to anything else and...

Thank you for the reply. So I'm assuming it is the clocks gone faulty then, I figured buying different ones would have that. issue. I've seen you can send them off to be repaired for around £150ish, so I imagine that would be the easier route? Take them off myself and send them off? People...

Hey, back again. The clocks started working again at first, believe this was after I left the battery disconnected for a few hours and reconnected it, the clocks were working again. I continued to buy the new G14 Varta battery just so I knew the battery wasn't the issue, clocks continued to...

Yeah if they're both compatible I'd go with the H3, but I'm not sure if my current battery was AGM or not and the specs of the new one had to be the same.

OK last question, do I need the AGM battery or not? Here are 2 Varta battery's I found and the ebay search says both fit...

Yeah im going to order one and hope that solves the issues, do I need a MB one or should any equivalent decent brand do? I've asked on another forum to, and someone said to look if the SAM has any water damage? Any info regarding that? Thanks for the reply

The battery is atleast 4 years Old, (that's how long I've had the car and haven't had to replace it yet, unsure if it had been changed prior) And yeah, it is cold at the moment and I don't use the car that much to be honest, more for taxi'ing the kids around. Seems like replacing the battery...

OK I disconnected the battery and charged it up, tested the Voltage after charging and its 12.2V. Then I connected it back to the car and it read 12.1V, but the clocks have started working again. I'm not sure if this is because of the battery being charged because I did try that once before...

Hey, new here so go easy on me I'll try to give as much info as I can. I have a C200 CDI 2008, firstly my car would randomly die on start up, the car would unlock, all dashboard lights/radio/screen would work but when I go to turn the ignition it would completely kill the power to everything...
