Elegance A180 Cdi W169

[Adele Coetzee]

Hi,

I just bought this car which is in good condition inside and out with 310305 km on the clock.

The owner is not the first or maybe even second so I have no service history or owners manual. I went to MB south africa, they don't have the owners manual for this model, neither does their app.

I tried. Searching on Google but honestly got lost in identifying which manual would be the right one.

Does anyone have a pdf version of the A80 cdi? Feel like I'm flying blind here, so I would appreciate a copy of the owners manual.

Other question, the engine light came on a week after I bought it and since then it has no excelaration from 4th gear. Still drives just not with the power you would expect when gearing up?

Last question, I expect this car has a timing chain and replacement intervals would be 100 000km? I don't expect this has been done, can someone confirm the kms for replacement.

Thanks for the help.

Hello and welcome

Can’t help with the hand book but does the car accelerate slowly from start but Rev quite a bit?
I’m going to assume it’s also an automatic rather than a manual

Hi Adele, and welcome.

Here's a pdf version of Owner's Manual ... plus a couple of brochures and accessories catalogue too

You didn't mention the year, so if your car is pre-facelift, there will be a few differences (it won't be able to park itself for starters).
Most of it however, will be the same.

I do have a spare printed manual for pre-facelift model (2004-2009) too, but it would have to be posted.

Almost forgot - here's an interactive manual for the facelift W169:

if you get an error message saying "Missing Plugin" - likely if you're using macOS - try this link:
