HI there,
I just took my '96 C280 for a battery check due to the hot engine starting problem, and found that the charging rate is only about 13.2V instead of 14V. I'd like to know shall I replace the battery or do I need to replace the alternator?? Can I send the car to a garage to fix the alternator only?? When the alternator is replaced/ fixed, will the 'hot engine' starting problem solved accordingly??
Any opinions or ideas will be much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards, Joe.
