Hi,
I wonder if anyone here can help point me in the right direction with a rather sickly 2003 A160 Auto. The issues:
Engine Management Light on
BAS/ESP Light on
No gearbox indicator display in dash
In Limp Mode (won't go over 30mph)
Gearbox in limp mode (Reverse and 2nd gear only and engages...

Hi everyone,
After noticing A-class's that look reasonably tidy with fairly low miles have fallen into sub 1k territory my dad is quite interested in getting one to use as a little workhorse. Hes mainly interested in a 1.4 manual. I was just wondering what kind of stuff he should look out...
Hi all,
I hope everyone is well.
The other day the vehicle travelled 30miles and the fuel gauge reduced by 1/4 of a tank.
Surely this is not normal?
It is the first time it has happened.
Could the float be dirty?
I hope there isn't a fuel leak.
The vehicle is a 2009 A-class
Kind...

Hi
We have been told that the alarm siren on our 2003 A-Class is causing a battery drain, does anyone know where the alarm siren is and how easy are they to change.

I only went to my local dealership to get a service for my A-Class, with no intention of buying another - but that's exactly what I did.
I just don't like the imminent replacement model, and the new B-Class in the showroom just doesn't cut mustard, in my opinion.
The point of my posting is...
Had to top up about 1ltr of coolant twice in the past year on my A-Class (2009) and ideas why this my be happening? The car has only done 25k? Surely cannot be a fault head gasket?
I'm thinking about buying a 1999 A-class A160, auto, avantegarde and have a few questions. It's done only 53K and has a full service history + 1 years MOT. The bodywork, interior and engine bay look clean.
1. When does the timing belt need changed?
2. How do I check the auto gearbox?
3. Is...
Sorry for asking for help with my first post, but my wife has dropped a packet of chewing gum down the back of this drawer, and so now it wont close...I cannot see how to access the back, or how to remove it..
Any advice please?
My owner's handbook (2010 W169 16" alloys) is unclear about whether the same bolts from the alloys can also be used for the steel spare wheel. Any clarification would be gratefully received.
My 2010 A160 Blue Efficiency Avantgarde is going in for its first annual service next week. Whereupon I shall be renewing my 'discussions' with the dealer about its unusually noisy idle.
Sounds a bit like a diesel or a bit like a belt not running true although - to my untrained eye - I...

Hi, I decided to clean up my engine compartment
So far I've sorted a perished manifold breather pipe (if that is the correct name) and the improvement is obvious - 170 cdi power loss - Page 2 - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum post 15

2013 A-Class AMG
I thought the AMG version deserved its own thread :) non AMG version HERE
And those pictures again from the Patient office (non-AMG version):
Guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows how difficult it is to remove the wooden door trim panels off the doors on my w168 A-Class. I don't like the wood(effect?), and I've already covered the centre console with graphite vinyl, so I wanted to do the wooden door trims too.
Do I need to take...
Guys,
I was wondering if there's any voodoo procedure, or even normal maintenance, or anything really, that one can do to make sure the W168 A-Class' automatic gearboxes stay intact.
My box has had a recent something-something-something done to it for £2k, and I'm hoping that it would be...
