60k Miles and Won't Start? - W212 Starter Replacement

My 2011 Mercedes E550 (W212) is stumbling during startup, so it's time to fix that by replacing the starter! While it's in the garage I'll also be replacing the auxiliary battery.

It's so clean underneath!! Up in the northeast that might as well be a unicorn.

Yeah, it's nice to work on! I know Mercedes protects a lot of the undercarriage, but this one is especially clean.

Success! Is it another Mercedes?!?. See you next week!!

[@frenchineer]

Stay tuned to find out!

Is it necessary to replace auxiliary battery after starter? especially if I just replaced to the new one like 3 months ago

[@frenchineer]

No, you shouldn't need to! This car had a warning message about it so we replaced it while it was in the garage.
