Problem with low power?

[ClaireRichard]

Hi I have a b180 cdi 64 plate and a quick diagnostic scan showed this (see pics) has anyone encountered this and if they have what's the fix?

Thank you

Have you tried clearing all faults and see what returns?

Is the car showing any particular symptoms?

Be careful when posting in future, your title says "Solved" so some may ignore it

Hi thank you for the reply. No symptoms showing except the engine light and heater light on dash. Everything Is fine as far as driving and things working.

Sorry about the post I was unsure what to put as I've never had an issue before thank you for the heads up.

By heater light I assume it is the glow plug light that stays on?

The glow plug control units are known to fail, have you had any glow plugs replaced recently? Sometimes non original plugs have been known to cause problems.

As for the other faults shown, try deleting them as some may be historic and see which faults stay or return.The best way forward is to have the car checked out by an Independent Mercedes specialist who can connect the MB Star system to it and give a more detailed diagnosis.

Hi yes sorry it's the glow plug light. I've had nothing changed in the car since we have owned it. It's the codes that have me concerned do you think it could be battery related?

A failing battery can cause lots of faults to show up and it may be that a battery issue in the past has caused some of the messages you found on the diagnostic scan but if the car is starting easily and with no other issues other than the two warning lights it is probably not the root cause

As said, clear all of the codes and see what comes back and then discuss those with a good MB independent.

If the car is on its original battery= 5 years old I would change it as a matter of course. Multiple faults like this , if not simply a historical list as already pointed out, usually point to a global [ general] fault like a low voltage supply. This might be due to an old battery, faulty alternator , bad engine earth, or some sort of electrical short to earth pulling down the voltage. try clearing the codes as suggested and take it from there.
