We present new radio and X-ray observations of Abell 262 .
The X-ray residual image provides the first evidence of an X-ray tunnel in this system while the radio data reveal that the central radio source is more than three times larger than previously known .
We find that the well-known cluster-center S-shaped radio source B2 0149+35 is surrounded by extended emission to the east and south-west .
The south-western extension is co-spatial with the X-ray tunnel seen in our new Chandra images while the eastern extension shows three clumps of emission with the innermost coincident with a faint X-ray cavity .
The outer two eastern radio extensions are coincident with a newly detected X-ray depression .
We use the projected separation of the emission regions to estimate a lower limit of \tau _ { rep } = 28 Myr to the outburst repetition timescale of the central AGN .
The total energy input into the cluster over multiple outburst episodes is estimated to be 2.2 \times 10 ^ { 58 } ergs , more than an order of magnitude larger than previously thought .
The total AGN energy output determined from our new observations shows that the source should be capable of offsetting radiative cooling over several outburst episodes .
