Moon silver 51 reg Elegance 46600 miles Taxed Mercedes warranty £10995 +44 (0) 1322 668047 (Kent)

hi all I bought my A170 in September 2003 just serviced by Mercedes. After nearly a year I only have done 8000 miles including a lot in town and was wondering if I still had to wait for the computer to tell me to have it done (6800 remaining) or have the service done after a year. Bearing...

hi all Thanks for your comments. It is a 180 Classic manual silver lady owner (X reg) with light grey trim, fully serviced by Mercedes from new last service yesterday and clear MOT apparently always hand washed as well. The car is immaculate and will end up on exchange and mart fairly soon...

Hi people I have the possiblity to by a 2001 180 manual, mileage is 23000 with full history. I don't know yet the equipment inside but might know the pros and cons? Cheers David

Now that's what 3G is all about then.

Hi Roy That's the sticky point, it doesn't say wich one, does it come later or does that mean that it still has to decide? Cheers

Hi all My A170 is 7000miles away from service but doesn't say which one, I've been browsing through various threads but ended up wanting to by new headlight bulbs! Is there anyone in the know? Cheers

Hi My A170 is going. 51 reg with 45000 miles. Full Mercedes history and Mercedes Guarantee until Sept 2004. Silver and beautiful. Email me if interested at [email protected]

The Engine Management Unit might need changing.............like mine did. David

I think that the only way is to get hold of the microship within a Mercedes baby seat to deactivate it. I wouldn't though, £170 for the seat itself isn't cheap but what 's the price of safety after all. David

After a week and a half they came to the conclusion that the Engine Management Unit need changing. Let's hope........

I am ever so disappointed with Mercedes it is my last one. My dad drives a C200 diesel 1994 and in 9 years only changed 4 heating plugs. Blinded by this fact I bought my own c class 1999 8 months ago and sold it after 6 months (after a serie of probs) for a A170 2001 face lift to accomodate...

Mmmmmh Had forgotten about the MAS. Will wait until it plays up again and go back to my agent. Thanks a lot. Dave

I don't know f it is an electronic or mec problem so I have the thread in both sections: Having been "fixed" by a dealer a few weeks agao, my A170 auto is playing up again. 1) When I accelerate the car changes gear every 1500rpm so not much acceleration there. 2) If the road goes up the...

Having been "fixed" by a dealer a few weeks agao, my A170 auto is playing up again. 1) When I accelerate the car changes gear every 1500rpm so not much acceleration there. 2) If the road goes up the car will not change down and kick down do not happen, therefore I have to switch to...
