End to my dead battery saga

Well I do not know 100% for sure its over but I think MB finally got it fixed. I started getting dead batteries back in december and was told it was from the Carlsson lowering module that I had. So I replaced the module and it happened again in February. So then I took the module out for good and even put a brand new battery in. Everything was fine up until the end of May when in the morning my battery was dead again. I took it in and they did draw tests and a test on the alternator. Everything checked out and they said it might have been a freak thing. Well the other morning my car barely started up so I took it in. I told them about the TSB on the rear trunk and they did a draw test before and after performing the TSB. There was a 3amp draw before and after there the number was super low so that hopefully means problem solved.

Geez, this is not the type of problem you expect from a German-engineered vehicle. British, maybe, but German? I sure hope that solved the problem!
