Is there a Workshop Manual for the A-Class?

No. We have asked Haynes and they have declined to make one as the car is not popular enough (even though MB have sold over a million)

There are however there are a few manuals, albeit in German which don’t go into nearly enough detail.

If your interested in producing a user manual and have a pre and post face lift A-class we can pull apart and then put back together, whilst documenting and photographing this process, please contact mykp as we have the location, photographic equipment and manual writing skills to do this, but need cars we can pull apart.

Edit: We now sell a workshop manual, see the club shop for details
