w168

Our A150 has done 43k and runs very quietly and smoothly however, when it has been standing for a few days, first start up is accompanied by what sounds like tappet rattle and a puff of blue smoke from the exhaust. The rattle disappears within a second or two and we never see any more blue...

I needed a new battery and promptly bought and installed one. Before installation I followed all the checks to ensure everything would run smoothly. Now, whilst driving, my headlights stay on even though the switch is off! Have I missed something? Any help would be grateful.

My cousins 2003 A170 CDI has come up with the EML on the dash. The car also feels sluggish and slightly underpowered at the moment. I have plugged it in with a universal scanner and it comes up with error code P0034 - Turbo charger bypass valve control circuit low. Any ideas ?

I bought 4 Brabus door pins for w168 car. I haven't received them yet. I'm not sure these will fit my w202 if w168 pins are shorter? I wonder if anyone out there could help me out and measure a w168 black plastic door pin for me? I wonder if they are the same size like on w202 cars? My plastic...

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...
