GLA 180 2017
Car accident engine won't start. Please help!


I been in a car accident with my gla180 2017 model with 18k miles only. When my mechanic scanned the system the faulty code that jumps off is the u010100.
Can anyone help me with this problem because I need to know what happened with transmission issues for me to get an idea if is ok to fix it or not.
Whole repair for my car goes up to 30k us dollars here in my country Costa Rica.

Did the airbags blow? Either way there is nothing you can do without connecting your car to XENTRY. If the airbags blew you have to reenable start function. Also the positive battery cable (cable to the starter should be loose at the battery terminal) and many seat belts will have to be replaced. You won't know which has been triggered until connecting the car to a Mercedes computer.

You can do this next to nothing if you are computer literate or having your shop do it by purchasing a passthru cable and installing XENTRY Passthru.
