lexini: I want to assume all those miles are 90% city driving since it took that long to get to 4.5k miles I’d say service it ASAP if you want long life and optimum performanc from your engine That 15k miles is a sham. Also replace the air & cabin filter when you service. 2 Likes |

Good evening fellas, I trust we are all safe whereever we are at the moment. My car (2006 C280) refused to start today at the filling station this evening after toping up fuel. It has actually done similar thing some months ago when I had to leave it be while I went for the shoping I went to do ab initio. When I called a Kazim and explained to him the situation, he just asked me to use another battery! Behold, that was exactly what I did and it jumped back to life. Please, what could have drained the battery or could it be that my alternator is failing or the battery is? What other issues could have caused what happened today? Thank you, I hope I get solutions as Saturday is only free day I have to fix it against future occurences. |
