    Central Locking crazy problem W202 C180 1998

    It is not fixed. It acted up again this afternoon. When my partner opened the passenger door, the boot popped open again. What other switches and sensors are there? I could get a used PSE pump/unit but can it be re-programmed to wok on my car? Regards Bernt

    The SAM and fusebox bottom are all dry and clean. Looks like new in there. It must be something else getting wet but what and where?

    Thank. I just checked cod3s with carsoft and SAM as well as PSE have no errors. The carpets and behind are dry. I am still stumped. Overnight, it fixed itself and is working normally at the moment. Regards Bernt

    Central Locking crazy problem W202 C180 1998

    Hey Dec, Perhaps in 1994 they fitted the imobiliser in the footwell. Could be because there was no electronic transmission. On mine, the same place is the trans control. I know because I replaced it before. Anyway, when locking, no pump action. When unlocking, about 0.5- 1s pump actionand boot...

    Alarm never installed. Is Australia / South Africa model. Right hand drive but no alarm. I agree with the fact that it has to do with water somewhere but can't find it. That electronic box you show in the puctures is the automatic transmission controller for the 722.6 transmission. I doubt...

    There is no alarm installed. The boot light goes on/off when I press the switch for it. The boot opens when I press the latch button. Can I read anything useful here with carsoft perhaps? Someone else must have come across this surely? Last time this happened I stripped the pump and...

    Hello, did you just drill out the inner wing to get it removed from the rail and are you going to fix it or replace it? Was the car still on its wheels with the subframe in place ? I face a very similar dilemma on the 107 SL I am working on. Regards Bernt

    R107 bulkhead / firewall rust. Has anyine repaired it? Need help pls

    Thanks. I have seen this. I was not looking for shortcuts. They do not show how or what they did to repair this apart from their kit, which does not cover the rust in the picture at the beginning. I asked if the kit has instructions or if they can provide steps but they said no.

    Yes, I can weld and fabricate parts but I have trouble with how to go about this as it seems overwhelming. I need just a bit of input on what to do where to cut etc. I had already searched for a while before posting here Nothing found so far. The americans suggested to throw it away. I...
