Key Fob issue

[epah]

Take the sticker off the battery

Or better yet trade it in for a 320..........D

Its a Mercedes, Hence the expensive price tag and lack of reliability.

Possibly but I need the confirmation from the bloke.

Or I just know I'll have a schitty sleep tonight

How did your car relearn?

Back to school.

 

[dontcryforme]

Well you're the one with the guessing game my dude.

You ask for key fob advice & don't mention which cabbie.

I'm I in the twilight zone here?

You are correct! They did use the car in Twilight!

You will never find out. Shitty sleep guaranteed for you tonight.

Have you figured out the issue?

I have no issue, if I had his issue I'd stop by the dealer and make it their problem. Even from the dealer the battery shouldn't be more than a few bucks.

My diagnosis would be that he wants to save R5 by buying crap from makro and the Paki's rather than taking it to the people that works with it everyday.

This is what happens when yo buy a cheap Jaguar that is out of warranty.

Well, I wouldn't mind owning a jag, those are awesome looking cars. But I'd need to have the budget to maintain them before I'd buy one. I'm too poor for that atm.

Just imagine an jag xe, that v8 one. I'd sell @Tabac to you if it would mean I'd afford one.

 

[FiestaST]

Feck me I get sooo annoyed at Muricans & Jag-wire.
What the eff is a Jag-wire.

Speak properly.

Volvo ?

 

[epah]

Volvo ?

AHHH you are onto something here.

If it's a Volvo, yeah no, he is on his own. Set fire to it and claim from the insurance.

I know someone who bought a second hand Volvo S90, used it for 6 months and it broke down, it has been sitting on his driveway rusting for close to 10 years now.

 

[epah]

@neoprema We would appreciate some Volvo expertise from you.

Take the sticker off the battery

Was just about to say...

Can't be that, not even @Tabac is that stupid.

You never know - could be one of those transparent stickers, in the OP's defence.

 

[TofuMofu]

Hey dont involve @TofuMofu in this.

I don't really see how it could determine a different battery.
They'd actually have to actively record a last voltage and only allow changes within a range (but why, this is like one of those right to repair things, they'd really have to be trying to screw you)
That or your other battery was dead on arrival or you forgot to remove the plastic.
Check both batteries with a multi-meter, proceed from there.
