Yes mate, thank you for this video! I'm having the same issue on my Connect and I was getting a bit worried... but now Im a bit relieved as I can see that i won't have to change all the keys of the van as I don't have to change the barrel, just the switch behind it, yes mate! 😅
I have just had the same fault come up on my A250 (2012) for the second time now. Last time was 4 years ago when I took it to Mercedes to get fixed and they charged me a total of £480 for parts and labour. Now I known what it is I will be taking it to an independent garage to replace and if need be showing them this video. It must be a common fault on the A Class. Thanks for the upload.
After little car accident the car wont start ..only cranks . nothing wrong in electrical or mechanical parts ..is there a kill switch in these cars ? please help if you can
Brilliant video, i have the same code but forums say it could be the coolant temp? looking to do this myself (with absolutely no mechanical experience) although i am an electrician and could give it a right good go. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
When high acceleration and speed my thermostat meter drops from 90 to 80 - 75 degrees celcius. After normal speed it goes back up to 90. Does this mean that the thermostat is defect? I also have w176 a250.
Mercedes mechanic hier, it is normal. On full throttle, the Thermostat opens completely and the radiotor/cooler unit works harder to protect the engine from overheating
