Hi guy’s.

Have just taken delivery of a new A180 AMG Line premium. Have only done about 400 miles so far, but have noticed the suspension is noisier than expected, and that there seems to be excessive road noise from the tyres. I’m running on continental‘s eco sports.
is there a way of finding out which type of rear suspension I have by visually looking, as the car is so low it’s difficult to get underneath.

 

I believe you have a multi-link suspension since amg line

 

no, it depends on the build. Since the July 2020 builds, only A250 and true AMG have multi-link. For the OP, if you don't get an answer for where to look, you could ask your dealer for the build sheet, that will tell you.

 

Look if possible underneath the car:
Torsion Beam:

MultiLInk:

multilink suspension - Google Search

 

Quick question - I have an A250e and its suspension is: "485 Comfort Suspension" - anyone know if this is Torsion or multi-link?

 

My suspension code was U55, Multi link, looks like yours could be torsion beam.

 

My car has both:

677 Lowered comfort suspension
U55 multi-link axle

 

So I have just traded my A180 SE auto for the A200 sport premium.
The A180 SE always seemed to crash and bang, over the crap roads that we have here in the UK. As I understand it, the 180 has torsion beam suspension.? The model I have now seems really good, a vast improvement, I am very pleased. Is it possible that I have multi link suspension? I tried entering my vin on various web sites, but it will not show. My cars vin is WDD1770872V020321.
Would one of you kind chaps look it up for me? Also the build date.
car was registered Feb 2019.
Thanks to all.

 

I had an A200 built aroud the same time and it had Multi-Link, however the new ones do not have it.

 

Thanks for that James. Can anyone look up my vin please?

Thanks Ravendark. Don’t work for me at the moment, tried several times. Looking at my vin number, could you tell me what the build year is.?

 

Didn't notice you provided the VIN on the OP.
Sometimes it takes a while in order to bring back results. I can't read the VIN unfortunately

this seems to work but it says that it's a 2002 model: Car report for WDD1770872V020321 VIN number

 

Thanks again. Much appreciated.

 

or this might be more accurate mb.vin : Data for WDD1770872V020321

 

Multi-link axle is U55

 

Excellent! Thank you very much.

 

Hi I have seen mentioned That the 2022 version of the A250 (I have one on order) has been relegated to torsion bar rear axle!
Has any one actually seen this in writing?
in the uk 2022 brochure it confIrms the Full AMG models have the multi link, but there’s no mention of rear
axel type regarding A250 as was shown in previous brochure edition’s!

Paul

 

From July 2021 only A35 & A45 get the multi link rear suspension. All other UK models get torsion bar.

But no A250 owner on here has definitively said otherwise... The only way to tell for sure is to look at the option codes on your build sheet. Or look underneath the car.

Multi-link rear suspension

It seems despite previous information, those of us with the smaller engines are not going to get multi-link rear suspension, even in AMG-line trim. Previous brochures always had multi-link down for all cars with AMG-line trim. This was later changed to all except the A180 diesel. Now it...

Thank you for your reply, could you elaborate on where in the July 21 brochure it says anything about rear-axle
spec ?
Paul

 

No, as they don't publish that level of detail in the brochures.
Dealers get detailed feature additions/removal info prior to MY changes.
So ask someone knowledgeable at your dealership.

Eg:

Plus brochures are notoriously unreliable for specs - "Features and Specifications may vary " etc.


But the only place in the Jan 2022 brochure Multi Link axle is mentioned, is for the A35 and A45 models.

When you do get your car, you can report back on here and help other members with a definitive answer

I too cannot open it.

I am looking to see if the w177 2018 AMG line A180 and A200 (these ones specfically) come with multi link session. I got abit confused through this trail I think this trail is saying the early models got multi link, but it changed later?

How good is the 1.3 Petrol Engine

Hi I have just ordered a A180 AMG premium and this time I have opted for the petrol over a diesel. How good is the petrol car for fuel economy in the real world. The 1.5 diesel I have now averages 60mpg which is great and I know the petrol is going to be a lot lower but wondered if anyone had...

Thank you all on your help, the car should arrive next week at some time it's an A220 AMG Line in Mountain gray in what seems a quite nice spec: MBUX, Ambient lighting, big screens (both), Heads up display, Burmester surround sound, Led high-performance lights, etc... with a little over 12K miles.

Hey man, I have the same vehicle. 2021 A220 Amg line. Have you done any modifications to it yet?

 

@P623 - what suspension (torsion bar, multi link) has your car got?
