Hi guys,just had my neighbour ask me to cast an eye over his sisters A170,it's making a puffing noise with evidence of diesel fumes coming from the right hand side of the engine.I suspect a leaking injector,but can't see where they are.
I have said I can give him a couple of hours to see if I...
New automatic gearbox controller purchased from Euromerc about a month ago. This fits inside the automatic gearbox of an A-Class (W168 vintage) and contains the gear valves to actuate the required gear selection. MB price is over £1200 + VAT, Euromerc online price is £450, but I managed to...
I have a 2004 A170 which has started to click when turning the steering at slow speeds. The noise appears to be coming from around the glove box, but cannot be heard from outside the car or under the bonnet. What is causing this?
Hello gents :D
Ever since we got the C220CDi Sport a couple of months ago, we've been looking at a replacement for our little Pug 106, which quite frankly is stuck together with sticky tape :D
Very happy with the C220CDi in terms of MPG so another frugal MB is on the cards.

My car needs a new clutch, a garage quoeted £380 for parts(clutch+bearings) and labour. Is this a very reasonable price? The car revs are high in the gears but less power.
I looked in my autodata and it said EDC, eg a VP37/VP44 rotary injection pump, but that can't be right for a CDI? Surely it must be common rail?
Also can anyone tell me if it's cambelt or chain driven and any common issues with this engine?
Regards, Greg.

Hi all,
After talking with an owner up in Cumbria who was very pleased with his conversion, I decided to get mine chipped (A170CDI 1999). I went for the “SuperChip” because there was a dealer locally. Well….. what a difference :D . It now pulls strong from 1100 revs. The engine seems to be...
