    A35 Engine whistle

    Turns out it's the gearbox! Dealer contacted MB UK who didn't know what the problem was and referred it to Germany. They have authorised a new gearbox which will be fitted end of the month. It's been like this from new and not due to launches etc. before anyone suggests that is the cause. Not...

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    @Nitro999 Just noticed you too have/had an engine whistle. Did you get it resolved? MB have updated my fuel pump software which didn't do anything and have now replaced it. Still the noise exists and MB don't seem to have any ideas as to what to look at next. Any help appreciated.

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    @ChrisAMG - Glad you managed to get a good result. It's a shame things didn't work out as the A35 is quite a good car. I had an orchestra of rattles in the first couple of months that have now mainly been fixed. When the car is cold I still get a few but if the dashboard warms up it all goes...

    A35 Engine whistle

    Update: Two months ago I was told that fuel pump was faulty so one was ordered. After one month I rang my dealer asking what was happening and was informed “well it has to come from Germany” but they would chase it up. After two months I rang my dealer again to chase it up but they didn’t return...

    A35 - "Restraint sys. malfunction. Consult Workshop"

    It’s now fixed. Called “Mercedes Me” and explained the problem and that I was not sure if the car was safe to drive. When asked if I could drive it to my local dealer who is 13 miles away and would be mainly motorway I repeated that I wasn’t prepared to take the risk with what could be faulty...

    A35 - "Restraint sys. malfunction. Consult Workshop"

    All set for a day out. Got down the road and up pops the above message. A little concerned so turned round and came home. Tried switching car off and restarting etc and leaving it for a while but the message is there constantly. Did the usual google thing which came up with several...

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    Well it's been almost a month since MB fixed my rattles and touch wood things seemed to have settled down. I have noticed that when the dashboard gets hot i.e. being in the sun, there isn't the slightest noise. Either the rattles are actually fixed, or, with the dashboard getting hot things...

    A35 Engine whistle

    Sounds very similar to a turbo. In fact I reported the problem as a turbo issue. When the tech first listened to the engine he agreed it could be a possibility. They are now, however, absolutely certain it is the fuel pump. Thanks for the tech info on the pump. If it turns out not to be the pump...

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    Now that's interesting. I did seriously consider rejecting the car but thought the reasons may be considered trivial and not serious enough. I also believed you had to give the dealer a good chance of fixing any defects. Non MB dealers said 3 attempts is enough. I have already done the rounds of...

    A35 Engine whistle

    Within two weeks of delivery my A35 had rattles from the dashboard but also a whistle from the engine. On my first visit the rattles were fixed but the whistle was not taken too seriously. On my second visit, for return of rattle, I made sure it was looked at. My car was with MB for 10 days and...

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    Well my A35 was with MB for 10 days for rattles and a whistle. I had multiple dashboard rattles but one very noisy one near the drivers air vent which in a previous visit was fixed but returned with a few days. MB fixed the rattles within the first couple of days. The main one hasn't returned...

    A35 AMG RATTLE!!!!

    My first post, shame it's a little bit negative. My A35 is 6 weeks old. After 2 days the switch panel in the roof fell down when closing the door. MB fixed this on the spot with a little bodge. Within the next few days the dashboard started rattling badly on the driver's side with the driver's...
