    Suspected Crankshaft Position Sensor fault turned ugly

    Morning all, Whilst this is part rant, it's also seeking advice with the issue too. Bit of a long story here so bear with me.... Ever since we've owned the W169 A200 Turbo (55 plate) it's had a fault code stored (PP0335 - Crankshaft position sensor). Despite this the car has been running fine...

    W169 A200 Turbo with 225/40/18 tyres

    The time has come to replace the tyres on my W169. Being the Turbo model it obviously has the sport suspension. It's fitted with the standard 18" Alloys and 215/40/18 Falken rubber. From my understanding, in order to keep the rolling radius true (and not upset the speedo readout), if I wanted...

    [W169 / A200 Turbo] Help with a part number?

    My OCD's getting the better of me so I'm trying to get rid of a couple of annoying noises from my engine bay... One of which is (what I believe to be) the alternator pulley/ belt, which I read somewhere is quite common for being noisy and with that I'm not even sure if replacing it is...

    From B to A, to get me from A to B... [A200 Turbo]

    So I thought I'd take a few minutes to post a thread sharing my Mercedes journey so far... Initially I was looking at purchasing an A class for the Mrs (W169), thinking along the lines of an A150 or similar... something small and sensible. Although being honest I did keep looking at an A200...

    W245 B200 Clunking/ knocking at the rear - suggestions?

    For the last couple of months I've had a 'clunking' kind of noise coming from the rear passenger side of the car whenever I go over a bump in the road. It started happening when going over larger bumps, but now even driving down my (slightly-bumpy) street is causing the noise. It sounds like...

    B200 CDI Sport suspension upgrades/ alternatives

    OK so anyone who owns one of these cars will know that the suspension is very unforgiving... I've owned many cars over the years with sports suspension (standard or aftermarket), but this cars standard setup really takes the biscuit. So I'm now looking into alternatives. Don't get me wrong I...

    B200 CDI tuning help & suggestions (Remap/ Exhaust/ EGR Blanking/ DPF delete)

    OK so I've owned this B200 CDI Sport for a few months now (having initially purchased it for my Mrs, but I have since took ownership of it as it seems more suited to me than it does her)... Problem is, I have never owned a Diesel before and in truth I never thought I would ever own one...

    Need a new car for the Mrs (poss A150?) - seeking advice

    Afternoon, My Mrs has a 2 year old Toyota Aygo - it's a great car but she's paying well over the odds for it (it's leased through the NHS) so she's now looking for a new (used) car. Whilst the Aygo has been great, she wants something slightly bigger. I've shown her several makes and models...
