TechnoTrailblazer Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Greetings, everyone. My vehicle has been inoperable for approximately two years because of a significant fissure in the turbo housing. I have finally managed to replace the turbo as I desire to have it operational again. I removed the battery and performed a complete repair and recharge since it was depleted. The engine was reassembled and tightened, yet when the ignition was activated, there was no cranking, and the dashboard lights went dark. I opted to examine the starter since it resembled a short circuit and was nonfunctional (tested outside the vehicle with the battery). Consequently, I purchased a new one. The same occurrence persists. Considering the vehicle was operated approximately a year ago to relocate it to a more suitable location. I am unable to comprehend the potential causes of this electrical failure when I attempt to initiate it. It reverts to its standard state when the key is restored to the ignition on position. Any assistance would be immensely valued as I am presently operating a rather uninspiring Skoda Roomster diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENZE220AMG Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Have you utilised a verified functional battery? Uncertain about the definition of a "full repair" concerning a battery? Having remained dormant for more than two years, the battery may lack the capacity to retain charge and deliver sufficient current. Merely indicating an acceptable voltage does not guarantee its proper functionality; a comprehensive load test is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD1too Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 It is likely your battery; have you attempted to jump-start it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMGRS Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 If the battery has been depleted for more than a year, a new battery will be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnoTrailblazer Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 I have attempted using a different fully charged battery. However, it remains unchanged. I am uncertain whether using the small Skoda to jump it will be beneficial, but it may be worth attempting. Merely concerned about investing in a new battery if it is indicative of a more significant problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VVC-Geeza Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Are you acquainted with anyone possessing one of those highly beneficial jump packs? If not, those are indeed more economical than a new battery if purchased for future applications or resale. A depleted battery is the Achilles' heel of every contemporary Mercedes.

BENZE220AMG Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 As previously stated on several occasions. OP, is there any indication of rodent presence or destruction? 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD1too Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 No battery can endure remaining depleted for such an extended period. Substitute it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another_clean_sheet Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 The auxiliary battery must also be depleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
