Hi everyone.
Having an intermittent issue with my wife's W176 A Class AMG. For a few months now she been been having trouble with starting. Sometimes its a lazy start, sometimes it fires up normal & sometimes nothing at all. When the car gives nothing there isn't even a solenoid click I mean nothing but ignition lights. Leave the car 15mins or so, up it will fire. I am working away just now and asked her to take it for a battery & alternator load test as it happened again this morning while am away. I changed her key fob battery thinking the immobiliser was kicking in but still it continued. I'm deffo going down the road of a power issue as it slow cranking. The battery has never been charged & never has she had the car jump started. Deffo not a fuel issue as the engine doesn't crank fast. its slow or nothing. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
