Hello everybody, I would appreciate a bit of advice if possible ....... I have a CLK 270 CDI. Just after Xmas I had the battery replaced by the AA ............. The following day I noticed there were some wires trapped in the Bonnet shut .... obviously the AA mechanic had not routed the cables correctly after he had replaced the battery and slammed the bonnet shut trapping the wires......... I opened the bonnet and put the cables back where they looked like they should go, closed the bonnet and thought nothing more of it ....... a couple of weeks later I started getting an intermittent charge fault visit workshop light come up on the dashboard ..........Last week I had the car serviced by a German car specialist who told me I had an intermittent fault with my alternator and needed a new alternator ... quoted me £500 ......... Today I've taken the car to have a new alternator fitted by a different garage, they inform me that the alternator is perfectly OK and is charging perfectly well even when the warning light comes on ........... consequently the alternator change has been aborted ......... I'm now thinking one of the trapped wires may have been damaged and it's that that is registering the fault.... any other ideas suggestions
Thanks in advance .... Ian
