Hi all My wife has a 2006 A170 (W169) that has been parked for a week. I jumped in it and, from nowhere, I have two issues! The wipers just won't work, however, the fuse looks okay, and the SRS light is showing on the dash! Everything was fine when last used ........................ and suddenly...

Hi all My wife's W169 has electric front windows that should have a one touch express function. This only works when closing the windows and not when shutting them. I've tried the reset procedure in the handbook but that just won't work. I've also tried other suggestions that I've found on the...

It sounds stupid, I know. My OS mirror bulb has blown but I don't know how to change it! Unfortunately I have no handbook and can't find anything on the web. If anyone has five minutes, please point me in the right direction. Many thanks, Slime.

Hi all. I have a 2006 W169 A170 manual. At odd times the car won't turn over although all dash & lights seem to be okay. Typically, I'll go back to it after 15 mins and it'll start. It got to the point where it just wouldn't start, so, I charged the battery overnight and it worked. Each day...

Hi guys. I've an A170, W169, that has a manual trans that is having a bearing replaced. The technician says the crown wheel & pinion have been slightly scored and the diff may therefore make a noise when re-assembled. He's not sure as he's not done an A Class manual before. Main dealers won't...

Okay, so my wife's A170 has been making a grating noise which, as I suspected, has been diagnosed as the clutch release bearing. Not a problem, or so I thought, until my two local garages, who I use regularly, have both said that they don't want the work as it's a 9½ job! They recommend I go to...

I've recently cleared out an old garage for someone who said I could keep anything I liked, so, thinking it was just full of crap, I cleared it out. I did, however, find two exhausts with Merc part numbers, but when I googled them, they were listed for literally hundreds of models...

I know this is a common problem but I couldn't find a thread re a W169. When I use the key fob the NSF door button bounces several times & sounds like a short burst from a machine gun! I have to press the fob up to seven times before the car is actually locked. Can someone please give me a...

Hi all. Just bought a W169 A170 and have my first problem! In the front central arm rest there's a slide out drawer. The problem is, my sister has just lost her debit card down the back of it, muppet, so I need to find a way of dismantling it so that I can retrieve her card. I can't see an...

Hi all. I should have done this yesterday before I opened a thread in the general discussions forum .............. doh! Anyway, I've just bought a Merc. I first fell in love with them when my dad bought his first Merc, a mid-sixties 280SE, and he went on to own many more after that. My first...

Hi everyone. New to the forum .................... so please be gentle! I've just bought a W169 A170 based on a description and a few photographs! :doh: It's only 250 miles away, so I won't actually see it until next week some time. The question I have is regarding the timing chain. Rumour has...
