Eco stop / start and hold function - SLK

[dsa1980]

The ECO system has stopped working in my 4 year old SLK (including the hold function for the brakes), before I spend a fortune on a diagnostic (Is £120 normal for this at a dealer? This is my first MB) can anyone suggest anything I can check myself?

Thank you

Daniele

Nick Webster in Poynton is the best man I know in the Merc business, an absolute wizard with diagnostics and very reasonable rates. 01625 879777

I think Nick charges £25.00 for diagnostics on the proper Mercedes Star system.

I think it depends on what they mean by diagnostics. A check shouldn't be that much but if it includes clearing all the error codes it can take a while, or so I was advised anyway.
