please help!!! please visit work shop with a red battery icon ?
i have a 2003 E320 W211 and i keep getting a message that its in red and says please visit work shop and a battery picture, has anyone experienced this problem? If yes please let me know what could it be, sometime it doesn't come up at all sometimes when i start the car comes right up then i shut it off and start it again and its not on, ( sometimes come on in half hour of driving ) im guessing battery? battery cables? not sure i haven't tried anything yet to solve the problem, but hopefully i get helpful tips on here.

2006 E320 CDI
I have an 06 E320 CDI that did the same thing and it was the auxiliary battery under the heater filter fairing on the passenger side of the engine fire wall . It is the size of a motorcycle battery and was a $150 at the dealer but was replaced on warranty no charge . Good luck .

I've just swopped my alternator on my 03 270, same warning light, checked the battery with a multimeter & no charge going in while engine was running. Put the new (recon) alternator on, problem sorted.
BTW for a few weeks before is was getting the message " convenience functions temperally unavaible, battery protection" or so something similar

On mine, i think the alternator was working intermitanly because, once the light came on, when i first tryed the meter on the battery it was getting charge so i assumed it was the battery not holding charge.
I got a new battery & it was ok for about 20 miles then light came back on again, checked it & not charging.
Incidently i had to remove a radiator hose to get the alternator out, is there a bleed nipple on the system??, as i have got a air lock, i assume you have to fill up via the header tank...
