  • In this video I am going to show you how to use the main features of this Mercedes-Benz GLA. This video is relevant for anyone that has purchased a GLA model 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020
    This video is perfect for anyone who has just bought this type of GLA or if you are thinking of buying one.
    You might also find this summary sheet I have made which summarises all of the main features and options available on most GLA models. Please bare in mind that the summary sheet is for majority of GLA models but some models may vary, such as Urban Edition and this model did have different wheels and also the packages were not available but came with reverse camera but no parking sensors. Also after 2017 the GLA came with LED headlights See link below 👇

      Aslong as the car is serviced by a Mercedes dealership you cannot go wrong.
      The models in your comment are good cars apart from the Land Rover which I would avoid. Desirable cars but not known for reliability.

      I'm at 7.1L/100kms or 33mpg (If I done my maths properly) original 5 year old battery, running on 5W30 Mobil 1 oil, no parts have been added. What can I expect soon other than a battery change and wiper blade change? Both cabin and air filters have been recently replaced. I plan on keeping it a long time to be honest, I love the GLA! I can tow my motorcycle or 2 around with excellent gas milage. I am on my second tire set, (ran over some nails and replaced them all) I run them at 35psi.

      My wife has a 2017 GLA 220d 4Matic Sport Premium and she loves her car. The car has done around 50,000 miles now and has not skipped a beat. We service the car with our local Mercedes dealer.
      Once a year i do a winter health check (which if you ask your local dealer, they will do for free) and in the summer the car has its service.
      We have had no issues with the stop start yet but we do drive the car the most and is used daily. Once a week or at the very least once a month we take it on a long journey which helps with the battery and also the diesel particulate filter gets to regenerate.

    • @DrSaahb
      @DrSaahb  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Adrian. If you are not worried about using the start stop function then I would leave replacing your battery for your car.
      When it finds it difficult to start or you get a message appear on the instrument cluster, then I would change the battery.

I usually drive it 3-4 times a week, not on long journys, tho...Last time I took it on a long trip the start stop function started working again... for sure I'll be looking into a new battery very soon, tho. Awesome spec, I imagine how great the range of that diesel engine is! My local dealer suggests I change the oil every 6 months but to be honest I do it once a year (Less than 6k miles) I've looked and the oil still has some color which is nice to see.
