Merc E200 (W211)

[Bieffe]

How much is the battery?

I was told there is 2 in the car and the main batt will cost S$500 to change!

 

Is this true?

[Vblaster_w211]

Correct. Just changed mine at MBM.

Where are the main and spare battery located?

 

Is the spare battery a back for the electronics?

[Vblaster_w211]

The main battery is in the rear. The spare is for essential backup systems only.

[Vit4wd]

Same as the BMW 5 series and VW Passat.

 

I guess this is essential for a car with countless complicated electronics.

[Bieffe]

Was it S$500 for both or just one?

[Bieffe]

One is under the rear passenger seat. If not wrong. This is the spare.

[Vblaster_w211]

$500 for main as it's a heavy duty battery. The spare is normal priced.

I was thinking if i genna cheated or not?

[Vblaster_w211]

Goto MBM and ask for Kelvin. He's good with Merc.

I just changed my front battery at Chip Soon....they call it "Auxillary Battery".

 

This battery is use to power your circuit board, ABS brake and all sensors.

 

It is original Mercedes - Made In Germany...cost $245.

 

I understand you can get cheaper alternative like VARTA thou...

Any Bro who drives a W211 has this poor visibility issue?

 

Is it the wipers need a placement swap being originally a LHD?

 

First pic - after the left wiper swiped. Second pic - after the right one swiped that caused blurred vision.

 

My previous W211 had the same issue. I couldn't drive above 50kph in heavy downpour.

 

Thanks in advance.
