Have a 2011 c220 CDI s204
Away for a break in Cambridge at the moment and been totally fine but today won't start. Supposed to be heading back to North yorkshire today.
Unlocks fine and dash lights up, but no change when key is inserted. Doesn't make the usual ”jusjjj” sound when key goes in. (Electronic steering lock?) Interestingly steering lock isn't on and steering can be turned.
Key will turn but engine doesn't turn over. There is some quiet clicking when key goes in.
Car was left unlocked last night but still power boot works fine, hazards come on, mirrors fold out fine etc. However suspected it could have been battery so
Bought a multimeter and only read 12.1volts.
However tried jumping it and no joy. (Although was done slightly hastily with a stranger whilst blocking people on a narrow street)
Now been on charge with a poxy 4a charger for several hours and still no joy.
Also suspected could be a key issue so disassembled key, but no visable breaks etc to coil or anything inside key.
Anyone any ideas?
