    A169 2011 a160 handbrake cable

    W169 ice radio wiring

    Many thanks David Found it, buried in my footwell . I guess the surrounding fuses are also ignition powered. I have run out of time today, but guess I can unbolt the fuse box to lift it out slightly to see underneath it to splice my wire in?

    On my 2012 W169 A160 petrol, I’ve notice a definite “lurch “ when accelerating hard from a halt. For those who can remember minis and their worn engine stabiliser top mount bushes , it’s akin to that, it’s like the engine movimg excessively on its mounts . with mine, i feel a definite lurch...

    Sorry to resurrect this, but better than posting a new thread I guess. So my w169 (2011) handrake does work but there is a lot of slack in the cable. You need about 8 clicks then it’s either on or off. Probably needs a new cable tbh to guve more graduation in the action. Is there a cable...
