When I was resurrecting my '87 wagon, I measured the battery voltage dropping to 8.5 volts while cranking.
For the next week that I drove it, starting performance was less than satisfactory. In my opinion it took too long to start, and the cranking speed was too slow. Sunday night she failed to start. Turned through a cylinder or two of compression and stopped. Battery measures 12.5 volts, but I failed to measure cranking voltage. When I try to start it, all lights come on, big click from the starter solenoid, no crank. I'm thinking battery, which is four years old, but has been allowed to go flat a couple times. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300 '87 300TD _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
