Hi I bought a E 220 today estate year 2002
I took it home drove around all was well now I have a battery / alternator warning every time I start the car
I replaced the batter with a new full charged Bosch battery as the car I bought today stood in a garage for over a year
The fault went away but just came back a few hours later I fear the worst it may be the alternator but the owner replaced it last year he said
I have read their is a voltage control unit were is it located and could this be at fault
By the way my first diesel the dark side ,Mercedes quiet impressed I felt sad putting the w202 away in storage but she is now free for engine swap to c43
That's another story
