opinions please:
Got in my 2016 W447 Vito this morning to goto work. (Parked in garage) totally dead as though the battery had been disconnected. No lights on dash whatsoever. So, connected jump leads from car to van. Lights came on van dash but not enough power to start van. Went in house for a cuppa while car was running. 15 minutes later tried again and van started.
I've been using van daily doing about 12 miles per day. Nothing was left on in the van overnight.
So, why during one night was the battery so drained that it couldn't even power a courtasy light bulb? Is this the start of a battery/alternator issue?
Do I need to phone dealer up or was it a one off thing?
Incidentally the van started fine on the way home at 5pm after just a 6 mile journey to work.
TIA. Ant.
