    Front Right Malfunction

    I read the first post. It makes no difference how many meredes/mechanics is been taken to. The fault exists and it has a cause. Lots of places have no interest, if the diagnostics doesn't give them the answer their not bothered in delving any further. Ps don't be so negative

    Not shifting to gear

    It's probably torque converter pal. Won't be cheap. But as fella said earlier use a good independent. Will half the cost. Unless your handy? I would offer to do it myself but your away away T

    Not shifting to gear

    Plus Module failure would probably give a constant dashboard error

    Not shifting to gear

    That wouldn't explain the noise from the engine bay would it?

    Not shifting to gear

    It may just be the internals of the converter that are knackered. CONSTANT VARIABLE TRANSMISSION is basically a centrifugal clutch that acts as a ratio changer for the 3-4 basic gears in the box. Again if the internals of the converter are throwing themselves around dont run it too much as the...

    Not shifting to gear

    True that. The early CVT boxes seem to be problematic even under a 100k which is crap to be fair from Mercedes heritage. I love my A200 turbo manual but all the CVT models that come up for sale have gearbox problems

    Not shifting to gear

    No problem. If your getting pressure from neutral there must be build up in the converter. The outer wall may have given up which explain the grinding rattling noise. Don't run it to much as it may chew up the bell housing on the gear box rendering it unrecoverable.

    Not shifting to gear

    Does it allow you to throttle in neutral? Sounds like a torque converter problem to me. I don't know loads about the CVT system to be honest but I would start looking there. I always go manual eurgh my motors. less headaches and cheaper to repair. Good luck brother. Hippie it doesn't turn into a...

    Front Right Malfunction

    Buy yourself a icarsoft diagnostics unit. Either MB V2.0 or the pro unit. Well worth the investment. Mine has paid me back ten fold....

    Front Right Malfunction

    Diagnostics should give you a fault code and some guidance. Personally I would start there. Check out my posts/pics. I know the w169 pretty well 👍

    Front Right Malfunction

    Is it possible the loom was damaged during the original recall? Other than that it could be a fault with the SRS module. Have you had it plugged into diagnostics? The module should store the fault code in its historical memory.

    Not shifting to gear

    Also do you only get the noise when trying to select or is it constant? If constant does it change depending on rpm?

    Not shifting to gear

    Does the selector move into position but with no drive or does the selector just not move?

    Mercedes A150 (W169) Struggling to Start

    A misfire would log on your diagnostic history. I don't know how good the snap on diagnostics are but I would certainly try an alternative of you have access to one. I would put a multimeter across your battery an note voltage off/ignition on and under cranking. Who changed the starter? It's a...
