Mercedes-Benz A-Class Hatchback Questions & Answers
I was quoted $1125 to replace the thermostat on an A250 Merc. Bit rich but the problems seems to be access - $480 for labour.
Why does my car need gearbox update
I have a issue with my 2013 a180 that I have just got . So U have no back ground knowledge of the car . The car was not turned on ( key not in ignition) I was pressing the open car button on the remote maybe 5 times to keep turning on the interior lights . They then starting turning on and off themselves and then all went out no power I disconnected the battery and head lights and tail lights came on . I think re connected the battery and the car started again like there was no issue ? . The next day I was trying to connect my phone I had the ignition on but not started the car also died but once again disconnected the battery and reconnect and it's fine again . Can anyone help me . I'm not sure what's going on . Thanks in advance
I have a Mercedes A-200, 4 years old. Bought with an extended Mercedes warranty and Mercedes insurance I had a terrible experience where the drivers window lever buttons started losing their dark gray surface exposing what looks like white plastic. The same issue happened with the electronic brake in the dash. They told me it was considered a trim and not covered by warranty. Very disappointing . This is the second Merc I have owned, and in 40 years of driving I have never seen this
Has anyone had such an experience and did Mercedes end up fixing this
I have a 220 cdi auto, 2014, just recently the car seem to skip through the gears and won`t go into reverse. if you turn off the engine it seems to reset it self, any ideas?
why don't you take it to mercedes for a service or at least a checkup? I believe they charge something like $200 for diagnosing the issue
Anyone else had an issue with engine thermostat? My A Class 2014 has done just under 90,000 and now I have to pay $1900 to replace the thermostat due to the work involved to get to the unit and replace it.
Hi Anthony, no issue to date. Ours is only a 2018 model with only 12,000km or so. I am picking that going forward though, all parts will be a little expensive.
Ok many thanks and all the best then.Y ep parts when needed can be costly, typical issues on slightly older 4-6 years 90K + can be things like the thermostat. Our previous MB became costly, Turbo's wear out after 100K. Other then general service costs, not usually many costs though.
Hi Anthonay, Thank you for this I also have a A200 2014/2015 model with 88km and now I need to replace the thermostat. currently, the dealerships cant give me an explanation
Sounds like a pattern of a problem !

I have 2016 A180, bought brand new, today have noticed a knocking sound when turning hard left into driveway, can’t get the car looked at till 2nd July, any ideas what it could be ?
How do you call the plastic panel behind above the place of the license plate it's like a bar? I need to replace it
My Mercedez Benz A class Engine check not showing on the dashboard after cylinder head got burnt. Any help?
Must B disconnect engine sensor or blown engine fuse.. anyhow,Ur mechanic has to reset it
I am having major expensive problems with my 2005 A200 petrol engined car. The EMS sensor has been replaced, worked for a while. A few weeks later EMS light came on again. Computer was removed and repaired twice. OK for a little while. Then wiring replaced between sensor and computer. OK a few days then EMS light is on again. My wife loves this car and it has only travelled 91kms. Any suggestions gratefully received.
Many thanks!
I'm sorry I cannot help because mine is the current model which is 9 years on from yours and all the engines have changed.
Try putting the question on Ozbenz on Facebook. They are always helpful.
Thanks for your advise
Always start with your simple checks first. I had several electronic problems not with a Mercedes but a Ford Falcon and it all boiled down to the simple issue of the battery fluid level had become low inside the battery and was causing electrical issues. Worth a check at least? Hope this helps.
Is it possible to manually turn on the windscreen wipers in the a170? My mother-in-law can't find how to do this and neither can I...! Please help. Melissa
There is no manual intermittent, but on the stalk if you twist to position 1 or 2 you will get two different constant wiping speeds.
