Hi guys,
I am having an issue with my w201 1.8e. Parked in the garage for a while on a trickle charger. Tried to start it today:
1. Lights all come on the dashboard but when I try to start it no crank. Just a thump
2. Checked battery with a multimeter (shows 12.7 V) so OK but connected another car just to boost - Still just a thump
3. Checked my stereo (no lights on it but lights in cabin, dashboard, headlights) but i can hear it whirring away (not sure if relevant)
I wonder if it is an obvious fuse/relay i am missing.
