    W169. A-Class Performance improvements

    Yes there was a petrol A180 but, in Mercedes style, the engine is 1700cc. I only found out once I bought the car! Thanks for the replies but they are mainly speculative. The point about my CVT gearbox is well made though. I'm trying to find out if somebody has actually had any performance work...

    W169. A-Class Performance improvements

    I have owned a W169 2009 180 petrol A-Class from new and am very fond of the car and want to keep it. It is however a little slow...... Does anyone know of any engine improvements or larger engines which can be installed or maybe recommend someone who specialises in W169s?

    Hello Jay, thanks for the information. I can't find directions anywhere in my huge handbook and your suggestion about "hold accelerator" etc. hasn't worked. Can I ask you where you got the advice from so I can go back to the source and see if I need to make any adaptions to your advice or if...

    A190 Gearbox Education

    Hi Folks! I own a 2002 29,000 mile A190 Auto. Recently it has started to hang on to the lower gears and behave slightly erratically. My service garage tell me that it is caused by my town driving (stop-start, speed humps etc.) and that the electronics of the gearbox need re-educating and that...
