I don't know where to get them, the part numbers are on Lofty's site. M-B would be the last resort if I needed them.

Read up on the auto-box on Bert Rowe's site; Bert Rowe's-Mercedes-Benz 'A'-class info. Changing full Automatic Gearbox fluid on Mercedes- Benz 'A' Class ACS transmission You might fix it with an oil change and new filter. Apparently the oil level is crucial for smooth shifting. If you open the...

I just wanted to say that a £46 coil pack from Euro Car Parts solved the problem. Runs perfect now. Easy thing to fix with Bert Rowe's ignition pack cover removal tools and two Torx sockets. Thanks guys!

:doh:I've looked at that picture before! Thanks! :thumb:

Yes, the coil pack looks like this: I've got Bert's tools to remove the cover, so I can pop it off and back on in pretty much no time. I believe the coil packs are prone to break down, however, I just wanted to make sure there's nothing other obvious beforehand. :) Thanks! Hmmm... which...

No, I didn't do that. I was wondering if something similar could be done. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to do that now. :thumb: On a slightly other note, be careful about the "instrument cluster dome" not chewing through the cables to the display - it's done that a bit on mine because...

I have an auto, which had its gearbox fixed for £2000 last May (around 70k miles), before I bought it. So obviously they do fail, however, there's no official percentages or such statistics. The failures always resound louder than the quiet trouble free owners.

Hi guys, Recently my 2001 A-Class (W168) stopped running on all cylinders. I took the coil pack off and couldn't see anything seriously wrong, and the plugs looked quite OK. I've borrowed an OBDII reader (Sealey VS8700 - nifty little thing!) and it showed 4 codes, which I reset, and then I...

Wow that's impressive! I really think a reversing cam is a good idea. I know the car ends just outside the window, but I still find it a bit difficult to reverse (and I also hate reversing!). So you have a camera both front and rear? Where's this thread you're mentioning regarding the rear...

That's very cool! I like tidy installs. The primary reason why I asked about the phone was/is that I want to keep my phone's battery topped up as much as I can. Very interesting to hear about your experience with that cheap-o head unit. I always fear buying stuff like that, but I'm pleased to...

Yes, that's my reference to 3.5 above. 246bhp on the latter ones, if my memory serves. Now that's a cool "van". :thumb:

I researched the Vito/Viano/other-vans for quite a while. Big thanks to the guys here. I've now found that I don't need a van, so the plans have been shelved. I'll try to make this as short as I can. I wanted a smallish van that wasn't driving like a van when it comes to comfort and motorway...

Brilliant, I'd love to see pics! :rock: I'm also interested in how/where you've put the actual 3790T. I'm still to mount my phone and my GPS into the car, so all info I can get is greatly appreciated. :bannana:

How did you connect it?
