    W169 A180 Blowing Noise from Engine bay

    I listened to the car again this morning when son started the car. It first it sounds as any diesel would on startup and almost immediately, the noise started.

    W169 A180 Blowing Noise from Engine bay

    W168 2001 - replacing main beam headlight bulb

    Is there not a removable cover in the wheel arch liner? It rings a bell with me when I owned 3 W168's. They were earlier models though.
