W124 - Signs Your Battery / Alternator Needs A Change

[g8crasher]

1. When attempting to arm your vehicle with the remote transponder, the central locking system works 2 out of 5 tries and eventually doesn't even bother locking at all.

2. If you have some ICE in your boot with a voltmeter attached to the system, check out the system voltage. Anything below 12.8-13v whilst the car is running is a good indicator that your battery is due for a change real soon. Don't wait until it hits 12.2 coz you'll regret it big time when there's no more juice left to crank the engine.
