w169

I am looking to purchase a used W169 NTG2.5. I was told that it currently has 2012 maps on it. I have read somewhere that updating the maps on a NTG2.5 may require the firmware to be updated first. Does anyone knows whether a W169 NTG2.5 with 2012 maps installed requires a firmware update...

Hi all, I am getting my first MB in June, a 59 plate W169 A180 CDI SE Elegance Auto. I am getting it from a family member once their new b-class order comes in. So I have 3 months of looking at what Upgrades I can do to the car once I get it :-). Unfortunately i cannot get to see the car all...

Hi guys, In June i will be buying off a family member a 2009 A180 CDI Elegence SE Auto. He is upgrading to a new B-Class, and offered it to me at what the dealership were going to give him in Part Ex. I am in need of a diesal, due to the fact in April we are moving houses, and my journey to...

As mentioned in another post, recently purchased a 59 reg A180CDI Classic automatic. It definitely has auto lights, and would appear to have a rain senor on the windscreen but switching wipers onto 1 simply activate the intermittent wipes regards of the amount of rain or lack of rain. Can...

Just purchased a year 2009 A180 CDI Classic W169 with Audio 20 and integrated Bluetooth phone connection. No problem pairing this to my iPhone 4S, including syncing the contacts. All good and works okay - great. However, every morning when I start the car, the Audio 20 unit has "forgotten"...

Hi, hope someone can help! My wife's car new car 2006 has had horror interior condensation problems since I got it - the garage where I got it changed the rear door seal as it was collecting water and dumping it on your foot if you opened the door after some rain but it's still got a problem...

We now have the ability to custom code the instrument cluster on W169 A class and W245 B class cars up to model year 2011. My own 2009 B class now has OTG, fuel tank content, date etc. :bannana: UK mode deleted :D

Hi. I have been to view an a class I am thinking of buying, but there is one thing putting me off. There were a couple of damp patches between the roof liner and the trim on the A and B post - photos attached. Has anybody seen anything similar? Could it just need the windscreen resealing or is...

Can anyone tell me if there are deference’s between the tailgate features of an earlier A Class W169 and the later facelift version and whether the facelift tailgate will fit the earlier model. To me they look the same in every way but I’m told they have a different part number. The obvious...

So just collected our second W169 A180CDI, this time a year 2010 face-lift model. According to the owner's manual, the air-conditioning is on when the light on the A/C switch is lit, and off when the light is unlit. Makes sense right, even though this is the reverse of my previous Mercedes, e.g...

Hi, I'm new here and it looks like a lot of people have vastly more knowledge than me. SWMBO has a W169 A150 2004. She has a problem where the heater fan will only work on full. I've googled this and it appears to be the resistor. However what I am having trouble finding out is if the...

Hiya, I've got a W169 Benz A Class 1.5 and sometimes my car struggles to start but starts fine second time. It will constantly shake whilst driving ... that odd bump/push here and there. Engine Management light comes and goes and I got error P0068. What could it be? Thanks

Hi folks - latest in the line of probs with this car.... Engine fault light was coming on/off intermittently. Code reader - no faults. eventually stayed on, but everything fine - still no fault on the reader. Then started doing the dreaded 3k max intermittently. Always cleared on start-up...

Genuine MB if you have them please. Thanks

Hi Chaps, I have an A class that has a strange fault. Quite often when I'm stationary it will feel like the car is jumping in to gear for a millisecond. The first time it happened I thought someone had just slightly nudged me from the behind but it is a very small judder, sometimes it happens...

MB A150, (W169) built 2005: Does anyone know how to adjust the light intensity of the board. I guess you have to be smart, not strong ... but I did not I get it.

Hi Folks Can anyone tell me where the heater blower resistor is located on a W169 A Class 2005 Diesel Automatic? MTIA dvndave

As a fresh newby to Mercs, I was wondering what I can do to "tart" up the interior and where the best sites are to buy bits an pieces. I've been on fleebay, but all I can find is tacky rubbish:(

We test drove a 2007 A160 CDi CVT yesterday and we both thought it was the ideal car but... I also took my bluetooth ODB reader and saw the following codes; One was about an open circuit on the 02 sensor (I can't recall the exact code), I've asked the dealer to look into it. The other was...
