Hmmm. Broken bonnet catch is more serious. Seems he had a minor bump and the headlamp is broken as well. Does headlamp replacement require bumper removal? If it does, how do you get the bumper off?

Number 1 son has broken the plastic pull tab off his bonnet lock making it very difficult to open the bonnet. Anyone know if this plastic tab can be replaced on it's own or if the whole lock has to be replaced?

A180 CDI. This morning we had what I hope is just a chain tensioner failure at 62K. Sound like a bag of spanners rev dependent. Had just previously thought I noticed a slight "whine", but it wasn't clear and was intermittent. Anyway, limped back carefully to my local indep chap and left it...

Was telling Sue how she could use the "skeleton" key to lock the door but neither works (she has 2 keys) Not even an attempt to lock/unlock but both remotes work fine. Any ideas? The car is Classic (aka poverty spec!) so could that be another feature not enabled?

Hi I own a W169 2010 A160 blue efficiency fitted with the Audio 5. Recently I have retrofitted a command NTG2.5 unit ( the one with the hard disk drive and the SD card slot in the front). Everythink works ok but now I want to fit a TV tuner. Does anyone nows what do I need for that? Thank...

Dear all We have just bought a 2008 facelift w169 A170. The car has the factory Command 2.5 system installed. The bluetooth refuses to automatically connect to my blackberry, but will do so if the phone is selected from the bluetooth menu. There is also a "comfort phone" option...

Drove the car today – first time for a week and noticed this…damp on the passenger side A Pillar, top and bottom…Anyone have any idea of the root cause…I suspect something to do with the sun roof…Any advice appreciated…

Okay, so my wife's A170 has been making a grating noise which, as I suspected, has been diagnosed as the clutch release bearing. Not a problem, or so I thought, until my two local garages, who I use regularly, have both said that they don't want the work as it's a 9½ job! They recommend I go to...

Afternoon All, I have an original IPOD kit for a Mercedes A Class/B Class. This was purchased and used in a 2007 W169. The kit cost me over £300 from Mercedes at the time - willing to take £150 for it. Based near Heathrow. Let me know if you are interested Thanks P

Hello everyone, I was trying to find a step by step guide with all the information, everything lacked something. So I have a 2006 W169 with Audio 5 system. Will the COMAND NTG 2.5 fit my car? Will I be able to install it in my car? I found this unit on ebay: Mercedes Benz 169 A B NTG 2.5 SD...

I know this is a common problem but I couldn't find a thread re a W169. When I use the key fob the NSF door button bounces several times & sounds like a short burst from a machine gun! I have to press the fob up to seven times before the car is actually locked. Can someone please give me a...

2007 A180 CDI CVT. Now the cold weather is here, I've noticed a "graunchy whine" as soon as the engine is started first thing, only at idle. It goes off if I increase revs to 1100 RPM +. Goes away at idle after a mile or so once engine is warming up. Does not make the noise at ambient...

Just retrofitted a NTG2.5 to my 2009 W169 today and noticed a big 'F' on Star - something to do with the MOST. Thing is this is the second NTG 2.5 I have retrofitted, the previous one went without an problems. So does anyone know how I can disable or reconfigure the MOST settings on the...

Hi all. Just bought a W169 A170 and have my first problem! In the front central arm rest there's a slide out drawer. The problem is, my sister has just lost her debit card down the back of it, muppet, so I need to find a way of dismantling it so that I can retrieve her card. I can't see an...

Has anyone successfully coded a W169 with the convenience light package? I tired doing this and have enable the menu, but it does not have any effect. So I tried coding the SAM but upon writing the code to the unit I consistently get a write error. I have checked that I have the same SAM unit...

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...

Hi everyone. New to the forum .................... so please be gentle! I've just bought a W169 A170 based on a description and a few photographs! :doh: It's only 250 miles away, so I won't actually see it until next week some time. The question I have is regarding the timing chain. Rumour has...

Does anyone have a drivers door window switch pack with buttons for rear electric windows and electric folding mirrors, or know where I can get one?

Evening all Can anyone help me in locating where the heater blower fan is in my 2007 a150 w169. The heater unfortunately has given up the ghost. My car was letting in water through the pollen filter compartment in the engine bay which trickled into the heating system and flooded my car...

Retrofitted folding mirrors to a W169 Classic this weekend with the help of a seasoned MB Mechanic. We fitted new folding mirrors (A1698101376 LHS and A1698101476 RHS). Hardest part was getting the old painted cover off the old mirrors to refit on the new folding mirror frames. Quite easy to...
