Hi guys 2022 cla 45s here. Have 270 miles on the clock so far and kept under 4.5k rpms per AMG manual.

Hi! Just picked up an A45. Will eventually be going stage 2 once I get a downpipe. But wondering about induction or filter upgrade and is it worth getting a BOV, or does the engine not play well with those? I've come from a 1994 Celica GT4. Cheers ..read more

Hello, I am planning to buy a Mercedes and I think I have focused on diesel engines because of the economy. I want it to be after 2016, and as I know after 2016 there are only two engines, 1.5 engine from Renault and 2.2 diesel which has two varieties with 136 and 177 horse power if I am not mistaken. Please direct me to problems and what to look for on inspection. Am I wrong with my choice of diesel engine? I want it to be 100 percent automatic. But I'm not sure if I'm targeting the wrong...
