I was driving down the road when my benz decided to pull a quick one on me and die out for no real reason. I pulled over and tryed to start it, not even a single crank. Check my voltmeters and i was reading about 12.7-13 volts, full battery. Also had 3/4 full tank of gas. Now the only thing is though is that it is due for an oil change which i was going to do very soon, like tomarro or day after, but i dont thnk that would cause a shut down and not alow it to restart. The only "non-genuin MB parts" i have on the car are EBC pads and rotors, sound system, and an HID convertion kit(none of which i would think would cause that kind of thing). I dont know, maybe some one can help me, i want to try to avoid the stealership, oh i mean "MercedesBenz authorized dealer" or what ever teh fuck they all it now.

Sounds like a crank sensor to me. Mine did it to me not too long ago. It was running fine and I was about to make a left turn and then...nothing.

Never restarted after that until you sent it into the shop???
