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.

Chrisasked
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.
