Digital Clock losing time
The digital 24hr clock on my C180 dash is intermittently losing time. Typically this is around 45 minutes in 2 or 3 days. From the pattern I've seen it looks more like the clock has maybe stopped, then restarted on its own, although it's possible that this is a case of a very inaccurate clock.
When I reset the time manually, it's fine for a few weeks, then the problem recurrs. There may be some correlation with cold weather.
Anyone else seen a problem like this, or have any diagnostic suggestions?

I'm thinking of taking it in to the dealership as the car is still covered by an extended warranty. Of course, it's debateable if this repair would be covered or not.

If you've got an extended warranty, just take it in and have them deal with fixing it.
Could just be the clock, or could be a symptom of bigger electrical issues.

I'll post the outcome when I pick up the car tomorrow (assuming we're not snowed in by then, as there's severe weather forecast overnight).
