    How did you manage it with your head so far up your own ****? Anyway, I don't have a degree but I build race engines. Thank you for your help.

    Wow! This must be a wind up. Nobody could honestly believe this and be allowed to drive.

    So the auto system can make the outer vents "not make it feel stuffy" but not the centre ones? You should work for Merc customer services- they come out with nonsense like that regularly. "I want to turn off the lane assist permanently" "you can't because it's a safety feature" "So how come I...

    Is it possible to get hot air to come through the central vents when you have it set to auto? It comes through the two outer ones but not the 3 central ones. Yes I have opened them. I can get it to come through if I divert it manually but then I don't have auto temperature. Am I missing something?

    Have to agree with this. Ah well only 2 years 14 weeks and I can give it back.

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    Well mine went in for the creaking windows and rattles... and came back exactly the same. My lease company are willing to approach Merc to reject the vehicle, trouble is getting me into a Golf R will cost me an extra £100 a month as far as I can tell as the prices have risen dramatically. So...

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    Mine is now booked in for 2 days in September to rectify the creaking windows, wind noise from the rear n/s quarter and adjustment of the rear hatch catch. The car is growing on me so I really hope they manage to sort out all the defects.

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    I've tried applying Gummi Pfledge to all door and window seals. This stuff used to work wonders on My S3 door seals and lasted for a whole year. On the Merc it lasts about an hour before the creaks return. It sounds like an old wooden sailing ship. I've started communicating with my local Merc...

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    My only thought on the other A35 was that it was probably newer. Mine only started creaking after about 6 weeks and about 2000 miles.

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    Any news on this? I've sorted the rattles myself with pieces of block rubber but the creaks from all 4 windows return a week or so after I've sprayed the top guide with silicone spray.

    A35 door fit

    I'm in two minds about the car. On the one hand the windows creak and the tyre roar is deafening on the wrong surface.... BUT... I took it to Italy and it was the perfect Mway cruiser, had a bigger boot plus on the twisty bits it was light years ahead of the Golf R and S3 I owned: it's heavier...

    A35 door fit

    Just to clarify, it's not the gaps (shutlines), it's the levels between to two surfaces.

    A35 door fit

    I think my doors and rear hatch don't fit very well. At the join between the front and rear door (b pillar) there is a 1-2mm step down from front door to rear door and similar (but up) at the rear door to rear wing. If you put a small ruler on both door edges you can see it's not flush. Same...

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    I've discovered that it's not the doors creaking in against the body but in fact the windows creaking in the frames. I can make them creak just by pushing against the bottom of the window. Anybody else have this?

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    My door seals have now started creaking when manoeuvring slowly over uneven ground. I've tried the Audi solution of using Gummi Pfledge on the seals but it's done bugger all. Anybody else have this and cure it? Oh why didn't I buy a Golf?

    Mine has the rattle in the drivers side air vent and I've had the false A service message and a false low coolant message twice. I'd say it was like a FIAT but they are better built.

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    Just so you don't feel on your own, mine rattles around the drivers side vent. The screen also used to rattle but I wedged some squares of rubber behind it and cured it. I know I should take it to the dealer but I can't face the whole palava so it can wait until it needs a service.

    A35 Lane departure assist

    Laugh. 2 years 11 months now. Doesn't time fly. I think I can give it back after 18 months without penalty. Well, any EXTRA penalty at least, I'll lose the 6 months I paid up front. Anyone want an A35 lease?
