Hi Guys, I have had my 59 A Class 180 CDI for a couple of years now and I have a quick question about servicing. The person who had it before had it serviced at Mercedes Benz, so when I got it it was in tip top condition. It had 45,000 on the clock. Since then in the last 2 years I have...

Hey Guys, Just had my front 2 tyres changed on my 59 Plate A180 CDI AvantGarde, and the guy had said that my pads are needing changing. Has anyone got a link to a guide on how to do them yourself?? I used to do my Mk4 Golfs brakes, so not shy of a bit of hard work... Thanks in advance...

Thanks guys. Still very confused, but I will take a picture of the cables to get even more help. There is a blue white cable too!!

Thanks guys. Does anyone know why it does this? Is there a built in Ariel amplifier in the OEM head unit??

Thanks david. I will have a look at that. I am also gonna give the people i bought the adaptor a call too to see if they know if this is a known issue. Nick

I guys. I have just installed a Pioneer AppRadio3 HU into my a180. It replaces an Audio20 unit. Everything works great apart from the radio. I can only seem to pickup a few stations. I have the correct ariel adaptor and I plugged it into the double white connector (only one connector has a wire)...

Hi guys. I have just upgraded my head unit from an audio 20 to an AppRadio 3 unit. Sound seems to be so much better!! Anyway it seems now that my speakers might not be up to the job, so I want to start looking at upgrading those bad boys. I'd it just a case of the 4 door speakers, or do I need...

Hey guys. I am looking for a head unit upgrade for my w169 to work pretty much just with my phone (nexus5). I mainly listen to podcasts, internet radio and Spotify in the car, so having 6 CD changer etc is just not needed. So I went to Halfrauds today to buy some stuff and started to have a...

Thanks for that. It was already set to manual. I think it only seems to happen when it is very sunny and bright. Could that be causing it??

Hi guys. I have noticed when my lights are set to auto on my 2009 a180 cdi, they are coming on during the day. Anything I can do?? Thanks. Nick

Thanks Richard where are you.guys based? Nick

Thanks Richard. I had a look at the website before and I just feel that I cannot justify that kind of cash. I have had a look and Kenwood seems to do some nice double din head units. Some even have MHL / HDMI so that you can mirror the screen (for GPS) from an android device. One question...

Hi all. I have had my a180 w169 for a couple of months, and on the whole really like it. 1 of the downsides with the car has been the stereo system. I have had issues with low volume on aux in, even with a headphones amp. I have also had issues with interference which has been cut down a lot...

Hi Guys, Whenever I have my phone plugged into the AuxIn and also charging from the 12V Socket, I have lots of interference. It changes pitch if you accelerate etc, and this seems to suggest that it is a ground issues possibly with the alternator. I have been told that I can buy moise...

Are there any guides on to stripping a seat and what parts (and numbers) I will need. Thanks

Thanks auto. Is this a diy job or a specialist?

Hi guys, Just got a quick question about re foaming the drivers seat in my newly acquired w169. The previous owner was a big chap and I have noticed the right hand side seat foam has seen better days. It gets a bit uncomfortable on long drives. Is this something that can be replaced diy stylie...

Haha. Sounds like the kind of thing I would do :-) But unfortunately everything on mine is up to Max volume........

I live in Maidstone. I keep on hearing about Steve. Has anyone got an address or number for him? Is he an independent merc garage??

Hey guys. Just an update. It seems that the input via aux seems to be very low. I bought a bluetooth receiver, which was the same volume as using an audio cable. I also trued it with my wife's iPhone. Still it was slightly louder, but still too quiet. I have managed to root my nexus 5 to...
