w245

Morning all, I've had my 55 plate W245 (B180 CDI) for a month and it has been nothing but a nightmare so far; including some rather heated verbals (ongoing) with the 2nd hand dealer I bought it from. I replaced the alternator within 100 miles of driving under warranty. This past weekend I...

Hi there, New to the forum having recently bought my first Merc - a 55 plate w245. There is an intermittent fault on the front left parktronic - it beeps quite often whilst the vehicle is in motion and the dispaly flashes (less regularly). This can happen at any speed. I'm also yet to get...

Hi, first post here as I've been a VAG man for the past 10+ years. We currently have a VW Golf GTTDI, which is nice, reliable etc but my wife & I have just become parents for the first time so I'm using that as an excuse to buy a new car! There is no rush, I'm a bit if a researcher so more...

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

Hello! My wife has decided she wants a 3 bar sports gill on her b class. I'm very impressed by this so I want to get her one right away. There are a few on ebay right now but I wanted to check they are all the same as I've messaged the sellers with no response. She has a 2007 B170 pre...

My driver seat (Artico fake leather) have some cracks on material. Every day cracks are bigger and now my eyes cant look it any more... I try to find same sahara/orient beige Artico material but couldnt find same color to replace just that left side of driver seat cover. Car have little much...

Wifes B180 CDi (2005) is coming up on it's next service - and it is a "B". As far as I can tell, there doesn't actually appear to be anything extra done on the "B" vs. the "A"? They both seem to feature just an oil/filter change and a check round everything? They will tell me at this service...

SWMBO's B will shortly be needing new fronts. It's been running Falken ZE912's which have been a breath of fresh air compared to the cheese-like noisy Conti's that MB supplied it with - and have lasted almost twice as many miles....however, 912's are history and 914's are now the norm (and I...

Please if someone can help me. I want to retrofit dimming mirror in my w245 (same as w169), got a new mirror and have problem with roof light panel A1698203901 which doesnt have input for dimming mirror. I also get new light panel A1698206601 with that input but now I realized that...

2005 Mercedes-Benz B 180 CDI Autotronic DPF full specs, performance and photos (since December 2005 for Europe ) - suggests it does (that's the model the wife has, the first run of them). I don't recall seeing a DPF mentioned anywhere and the oil in it from the factory and put in at the last...

OK, after the £640 lifted from me for vacum hoses, and a new set of glow plugs - it's back doing the same thing again. No Check Engine light on, but in limp mode. When it's not in limp mode it runs fine, but when it's warmed up and stationary in Park - the idle is like it's hunting - very...

B180CDI - 2005 M/Y So the last couple of days have been very wierd. No change of use pattern, all has been well, until a re-fuel the day before yesterday. Millers Ecomax in the tank as always for the last 6 months. Yesterday, wife was driving as normal and she reported it was gutless, no...

Hello All, I used the great mercupgrades.com guide to remove my Audio 20 headunit today and I thought I would add a few pictures to help anyone else who attempts this. First is the removal of the air vents. The catches you need to pull are located in the top slot of the grille on the...

Hi folks. My wife's 2005 B 180cdi does not appear to have any aux input that I can find. Is there a way to get ipod compatibility without rebuilding the world? Many thanks.

Wife's B has parktronic. This last week the rear sensors seem to have packed up altogether. The lights come on on the roof mounted display, but there is no indication of how close you are to the object you are reversing towards. Anyone got any pointers on troubleshooting? Thanks, Dan.

As a few already know I've purchased a w245 recently, and while I was at the dealership I requested to have a copy of their 'Oasis Vehicle Enquiry' printed out; which states all the extra and features that the car came with out of factory. Now listed on the print out is quote: '580 Automatic...

Hi all, Does anyone know how the overhead console (above the rear view mirror) on a B-Class comes off? I have an annoying rattle from somewhere inside it. I suspect it needs a carefully positioned screwdriver to lever it off, but any clues as to where the screwdriver should be put would be...

Hello All, Having just spoken to MB UK about filling in the gaps in the wife's service book with what was done (not a helpful bunch, refused to tell me and told me to call each dealer in turn to ask the questions!)....I asked about replacing the parts that are due to be done between services...

The wife's 2005 B is complaining about the indicator lamp in the mirror housing - it seems to be fine, but it's throwing an error every few days now, so I guess it's probably about to crap out. How easy are these to change, and anyone got any idea how much they are? Cheers, Dan.

Good morning guys, my name is Antonio and I am new here. My B200 has just arrived and I am wondering what I should buy to use my iPhone in bluetooth with car. In the pictures below you can see what I have found inside the armest, I had something similar in my old C 180 but there was a nokia...
