Exclamation BE CAREFUL !!!!

No ! you need to _drive_ the car so the alternator spins up fast enough to charge fully . take a long drive to a remote coffee shop or whatever .

Find a sloped street with a driveway and drive both right side tires up on the curb then slide underneath with a good flashlight to see / find the exhaust leak .

Choosing a street that slopes away from the curb means it won't be full of icy slush /water, etc.

SAFETY WARNING ! a Mercedes weighs about THREE TONS so if it slips off the curb because you didn't position it properly, YOU'LL DIE .

Consider this carefully before going under neath it or any other curb supported vehicle .

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED .
