hi,
joined here to see if I can get any help on my Merc A class A140 classic. Petrol, manual.2001 model. (Y)

I came back from holiday after some weeks, before i left the car was fine.
I disconnected the battery before leaving , so when returning connected it up and dead.
So i got battery charger and recharged it.
Noticed since filling it up, the fuel consumption was horrendous, probably about half or just under it was going through.
Battery was fine after charge but did not hold it's charge after a 35 mile trip.
After a couple of days , got the battery re-newed.
Fuel problems still continuing.

took it to another garage, got a engine diagnostics test on fuel emmissions etc.
No faults recorded.

Asked mercedes benz garage any ideas what it could be? No.....!!!!!!!!!!

so apart from a service I'm thinking of getting rid of it, no use to me the way it is.


any help appreciated.

 

No fuel leak or smell of petrol either.
