    Just got a used A180 petrol Avantgarde with the standard 6J x 16 alloys. Looks like it has the original Dunlop 195/55 R16 on the rear and a couple of Matador brand tyres on the front. Never heard of Matador, Wikipedia says they are a Slovakian acquisition of Continental. I don't like mixing...

    W169 - CVT Gearbox, problem?

    Hi all, On our W169, the manual mode stays in 1st gear if the gear-shift is moved right(+). Another shift to the right(+) it goes back to (D). On the ML, I can change the gears 1-4. Is this normal, while the vehicle is stationary? Has any other W169 owner had a similar issue and is this...

    I have just changed the oil on my 2008 A150 and the filter (Mahle) was supplied with 2 rubber O-rings, the large one for the outside of the canister , and a smaller one.
