a170

I have a W168 A170 with Electric Windows that have started opening by themselves. Three of the four are now doing this every time I start the car with the exception of the drivers window. There are no OBD codes showing on the car. I have a two minute battle with the windows to get them...

Greetings, citizens. Been thinking about getting rid of the Panda for an A class, preferably an A200 auto. Nothing's been forthcoming, but local to me I've just spotted an '06 A170. Ticks the (wife's) boxes in that it's 5 seats (grandchildren are growing up), & has front/rear parking sensors...

I can start my car with quick start but once warm it does not start via quick start but it just turns over normally. I changed the valve on the fuel filter and the car started a few times and then would not start. Has anyone any ideas what the issue is here, or how to diagnose. i tried STAR and...

Why I let the wife drive FIDEL, my 2001 A170 CDi I will never know, this time she gave it back with a horrible lumpy lick over, seems to start and run OK and up to speed, just the normal crap hesitant pulling away from stand still sometimes, needing a double tap on the gas pedal, and noisy belt...

Hi all, Hope you are well. Recently bought a W168 2002 A170 CDI (Semi auto). Was told that it had its starter motor replaced at a dealer few years ago. Been having starting issues with it recently. It struggles to start on cold, however once warmed up it starts up fine. No lights...

I have a problem with my wife's 33,000ml 2007 A class petrol. Whilst driving, at the same time as I switched the air conditioning off the car lost speed and came to a halt. (Just a coincidence?) The engine turns over and starts momentarily but then stops. (Starter motor disengages, exhaust...

I just completed an oil change, the last resort before opening the engine, to stop the hydraulic valve lifter noise. I had already done an injector clean solution,a valve lifter solution, and an engine flush, with no difference. My first impression is that the space is so limited under the...

Hi I have decided to give my impressions of the a170 that I have now owned for a few days. I can confirm that the paintwork is seriously prone to scratching, without even trying. The seats are also somewhat uncomfortable.It is the avantgarde version,and has leather seats, but it does not...

Hi, hope someone can help! My wife's car new car 2006 has had horror interior condensation problems since I got it - the garage where I got it changed the rear door seal as it was collecting water and dumping it on your foot if you opened the door after some rain but it's still got a problem...

Hi Guys, I have a problem with this vehicle. It starts easy enough but pops in the intake and Idles all over the place before settling down to normal idle speed. I get a P0079 Fault code. Exhaust valve solenoid?? Any suggestions?

The battery went flat on the A170 W168 and when I tried to start it by connecting jump leads to another car, it came up with the error on the dashboard "error start". The engine will not turn even when I charged up the battery. Do you think it had blown a fuse somewhere of there is a problem...

Hello again, I'm still struggling with this 2002 a170 that i bought 2 weeks ago. Whilst driving I began to lose power until vehicle just stopped dead on the road. Green flag suggested a badly seated injector and recovered me home. I took off the manifold etc to get to the injectors and found...

Hi.. Where to start!.. Ok we have a a170 05 reg and have had nothing but problems this year. The original problem started with throttle body so this was replaced. A few days later the gearbox went! Dashboard kept coming up with transmission problem. After about a month getting gearbox rebuilt...

Hi, I have just bought my wife a 2002 a170 and it broke down immediately. Took off the air inlet manifold and found a broken injector pipe due to the one of the injector clamps not being tightened. I've bought new parts but need to know the torque settings for the injector clamp and the air...

Hi I have Mercedes A170 Diesel YP51UCZ, I have some problem either with Turbo or manifold or seals. As you can see in pics exhaust fume comes from just before turbo, I am not sure what is the problem as I have been to mechanic and few said its turbo, few said its manifold. not very confused...
