b180

Anyone any ownership experiences of one of these new B's yet? We're still waiting for my wife's to arrive, due in a a week or two. Despite the press advice, she insisted on sticking with the 18's and runflats/sports suspension etc. has anyone put some miles under their belt yet on the Sports...

Hi everyone, firstly this is my first post so I apologise in advance if my questions are stupid! So, i have this new (to me) 2006 B180 CDI SE and it has a COMAND NTG2 unit in it. It seems that I can't put in an audio CD whilst the SATNAV DVD is in the head unit, is that right? Seems a bit...

Had my B180 cdi ( manual box ) for 3 weeks now. I use it to travel to and from work, which is 17 miles each way, with about 16 miles of it dual cariageway. On the dual carriageway, I do 65-70mph indicated, but don't seem to be getting very good mpg. Over the 3 weeks the average mpg has...

Just picked up my 2009 B180 cdi SE at the weekend. 650 mile round trip to get one with designo trim amongst other options. Really pleased so far, thought it was REALLY sluggish at first, only to find that I haden't adjusted the seat far enough forward, and was only pressing the accelerator...

I have had the use of the above 11 plate car for 2.5 weeks whilst my w124 was at the dealership being dealt with and I thought I would share my experience. So in no particular order. In london traffic it is quite possible to achieve 40mpg without any great effort. On longer journeys, it is...

My brake wear indicator has come on and from a quick visual check it seems that the front pads have had their day. I'm currently looking into getting them replaced but wondered if I ought to buy the pads myself and get them fitted at a local garage, go the whole hog and get the pads and...

I have the pleasure of a B class 180CDI auto as a loan car for a couple of days. Having just done the same journey to work with cruise set @ 75MPH I managed to achieve 46MPG. The same journey in my car W212 350CDI same speed 42MPG, I was expecting a lot better from the B class. Quite shocked...

Hi All you techies, Is it possible to fit a reversing camera to a 2009 B180 CDI that has Comand fitted? I don't see it as an option in the Mercedes brochure

Hi everyone, this is my 1st post having recently bought a 2007 B180 CDi SE Auto. I'm afraid I have a few questions. I've come out of a Subaru Impreza with 270bhp so I'm finding the transition 'interesting' to say the least. Oh, the joys of becoming a father... Anyway. I've noticed a few...

So the glow plug light comes on on the dash when you advance to the II position on the ignition signifying it's heating, and goes out when the heating cycle is complete. What does it mean if it then comes on after you have started the engine and stays on for 30 seconds to a minute of driving...

Hi, My B180 was broke into and the space saver wheel was stolen, I think it was a 125/90/16, could someone with a B class check if that's the right size? also my question is would any wheel of any car of that size fit? thanks.....:dk:

I've recently purchased an 'eMotion' device from Celtic Tuning, that allows users to add and remove remaps themselves throught the OBD Port. It came with both 'economy' and 'fast road' maps, and you can switch between these two and the original map as often as you like (eg. return it to...

All, had my new B180 sport BlueEfficancy for 2 weeks now, so far 700 miles and liking it a lot. However, there is s squeek, a big squeek, a consitant squeek from the rear suspension (i think) of the car whenever anyone gets in/out. Same thing happens using the front or back seats, passanger or...

Car is 40 months old and dealer advises that there is a valve in the inlet manifold that sticks now and then to cause the problem. They advise may cost £1000 to repair. They will contact Merceds Goodwill in UK and Germany as car has only done 33000 miles and just out of warranty. Has anyone any...

All, been over on the BMW side with a Z4 for 18 months but going to be a dad in Feb so i need more seats. Looked at a B180 Sport last week and very taken by it, seems to be exactly the kind of thing i need, quality looks good and there are some good finance deals on at the MB dealers just now...

Hi, I have a B180 SE and the auto lights keep doing odd things. On bright sunny days, they often come on, particularly when going down tree lined roads. If I am driving with the sun behind me they come on. Then on a dull day they don't come on at all. The local MB dealer has changed the sensor...

Hi all, I'm thinking of getting a new B180 SE but I'm having difficulties finding out the MP3 capabilities. I understand that it comes with a AUX connector in the glove box. Presumably this is just a 3.5mm socket? Is it possible to control an iPod from the head unit (Audio 20)? I can't see any...

Hi, my wife's B180CDI is requiring a top up of Engine Oil. Rather than go to MB and pay their inflated prices. Does anyone know which Oil I should buy? Thanks.
