Anyway, today 24th October 2023, I woke up this morning, wiped off the spare key I've got with disinfectant wipes, (rubbing alcohol) thoroughly. I got into the key around 4am and as usual, I would have had to wait until the radiator fan works for 15 mins before I turn it off and on again to start. But today, it worked perfectly. The car started easily without hesitation. I am waiting to see what happens tomorrow morning too. I will keep y'all uodated
Just had this problem myself. Getting it towed to local garage who will be able to diagnose it. Most likely starter motor, as these W203 mercedes are going to be 13 to 20 years old.
@@santinocorleone4246 thanks for the heads-up. I still haven't heard what the actual issue (they're short-staffed, should hopefully hear by today) but they reckon there's something up with the electronics. They're telling me that these Mercs (w203 and newer) are a pain to diagnose and repair these problems.
@@HaggardPillockHD I had the exact same car and model but I‘ve never had that problem so I can‘t really tell you what it is. But it‘s definetly an electronical issue and not something that has to do with the starter motor
Hola qué tal tengo un mercedes classe A 160 cdi w169 diesel 2.0 2007. Me problema esque el otro día no me arranca y lo puesto la otra batería y arranca y ahora no quiere arrancar pongo la llave y cuando giro el contacto para darle el arranque no hace nada se escucha chs chs claq le he probado la batería de un amigo y igual lo que hizo es tocar la caja de reles que está a los pies del pasajero delantero y aye creo que donde yo mismo he creado el fallo le saqué los reles tienes alguna idea por favor gracias
I fixed mine by opening the EIS, and bending the connection points do add back some spring to them. Never had an issue again. Saw it on this guy's video: ua-cam.com/video/K_-TLfRkP6Y/v-deo.html
hi what was the reason pls? I have the same problem and c200 kompressor from 2001. Yesterday i was driving for more than an hour and since I bought the car never had any problem. Could it be the battery? because I have a sunroof as well and it wont open looks like it has no power to open it and now this. please for advice
@@haus_of_wisdom There are two possible fixes, first: You have to warm the key for some time, and it will work, sometimes it can take a real long time or even won't help at all, or you have to buy a new one. I fixed it, by buying a new key. Cost smth around 320Euro, but I went with the one that has the fancy Metal around and my car had the automatic trunk. A normal key should be around 230Euro if you buy an original Key from Mercedes
@milimnava2111 thank you. When I turn thr key on, it doesn't crank. The radiator fan will rather turn on and I will have to wait for 5 to 10 mins, then turn it off and on again then it will start. First, the coil light will not come, but during the second time, the coil will come on and it will start.
@@haus_of_wisdom did the key unlocks the steering wheel? You should hear a sound, everytime the key gets inserted into the ignition. If that works, the problem is something else. For me, nothing worked and I guess that's the normal behavior because the car won't recognize the key
Sehr schön erklärt
Noch schöner Erklärungen gibt es nicht vielen vielen Dank
👌

The key fob mechanism is broken, sometimes there is a chance just reseating the connectors is enought but sometimes you need to buy a new one
EIS Problem, electronic ignition system.. it was faulty on my w202, replace it and it works.
Could be a faulty starter relay

whoever changes the starter motor ripps you off. The starter motor has nothing to do with this problem

@@HaggardPillockHD How did you go?
EL PROBLEMA ES SENCILLO, HAY QUE RELLENAR EL DEPOSITO DEL AGUA DEL LIMPIA PARABRISAS, LO INDICA CLARAMENTE LA COMPUTADORA.-

Need to look into it, just commented under that video, if you are curious. Thanks mate
what was the problem?
Does anyone know the meaning of the red triangle with the car above the "DTR" light? I guess in a w203 it's not an emergency brake assist 🙈

Hatte dasselbe Problem, sind meist die Funkschlüssel, wenn sie kalt sind. Die neueren Generationen an Funkschlüsseln haben das Problem nicht mehr.
So how do we fix the problem?
