Hi from Portugal (Algarve)

Hello!

I'm Nuno from Portugal. I'm from sunny Algarve though I'm living in Lisbon.
I'm the happy owner of a 2004 A150 (W169).
These forums are a great resource for enthusiasts and DIY and I'm hopping to learn and contribute as well.

This is my first automatic gear car. It was a surprise to me but I love it! So smooth!
I drove Smarts before but this is way better!

Cheers!

Welcome to MBWorld! Grats on your A class. As this is primarily a US based forum and A class wasn't released here, you unfortunately won't find too much info. We actually had one of the only w168 legally registered in the US and was a blast to drive around in. Got any pics of yours? Here's the one we had:



Let us know if we can help you out with any lighting upgrades.

Though my nick is "Don Giovanni" I don't speak italian. I just love Mozart's opera.

Hello Michael AZN Optics!
Thanks for the warm welcome. It's hard to find info for the W169. Haynes never did a workshop manual on that model.
Very nice pic you posted. I'll post a few of mine as well.

Ho capito, comunque so leggere il portoghese ed parlare un poco. Lo spagnolo lo parlo perfetto come l'italiano ed inglese.
