i have read everything to do with battery drains, there was never any conclusions. so here I am my problem:
Mercedes Benz Advantage 2003 E270 cdi w112 Saloon
Everything was fine when I bought it, then every now and then I would get the consumer batter light it would go off as i kept driving. Then every now and then the cd would go off and on, at this point I know something is wrong. That day I had to go shopping did that got in the car turned the key Nothing not even a click. AA came out said it was the battery (it was at this point i'm like FH ) he went to the boot got all his dodahs, out I did not know there was a battery in the boot or that the car had 2 battery's.. £150 later I was on my way. The problems did not stop they got worst a week ago everything seamed fine it was a very rainy day, my windscreen wipers decided to stop working at the same time the engine started screaming and I was only doing 20 mph i could smell the diesel it quickly accrued to me that I was stuck in first gear. I was pooing myself went to put the hazards on nothing I also had lost all light. I am not one for cars I get in it and drive. So believe me when i tell i have no idea how i did this. i lowered the reves
some people behind me were loosing the plot but I kept going I slowly changed lanes to get to a place i could park all of a sudden it was like they knew my car was in trouble as people were staying back and letting me through. I parked. I somehow got it home I have not driven it since.
my logic says it has to do with the Aux battery. It defiantly is not charging or holding a charge but i think there is something more at play. windscreen wipers worked when i was in second click just will not work in idle. From what I have read its not the alternator. So is there a thingy that puts the right voltage to the battery from the alternator. I can not get at the aux battery to see the number to replace it. if anyone knows the right battery can you let me know. I think it a AGM
Or is there other problems
All help appreciated
