I wish it was so simple. Car does not recognise the key so won't start. I've tried putting key in ignition for a few seconds, removed it and, within 10 secs, pressed and held 'lock' button and then pressed 'unlock' button 5 times. Then released buttons and pressed 'boot unlock'. Still no...

Key doesn’t have any effect when pointed at driver’s door handle so I presume it’s dead. I’ll take your advice and visit local Indie. Thanks for responding

Hi All, Got an A207 and key stopped working so changed to spare. After few months decided to attend to 1st key and changed battery. Pressing any key button gets the required flash of the red light but doesn’t ‘talk’ to car to lock/unlock or start. Anyone got any ideas as how to cure or must I...

That’s very useful info and many thanks. I’ll check mine are all in order. Incidentally, did you hear the pump running when you had this leak and where your pump was located?

Checked OM and soft top hyd unit is leftside behind light cluster in boot. Contour switches for seats are inboard ie driver’s left passenger right side

Many thanks for your help. I’ll investigate the boot area although still mystified by the reservoir and 6 thin black plastic pipes

Trickythemerc, any joy with your STAR in finding the air pump location? You must have enjoyed yesterday's 6 Nations!!

Many thanks, Trickythemerc, most grateful

Yep, the grey cylindrical foam jacket is around a unit that has a round reservoir with level indicator at fwd end with 6 black pipes leading fwd. Surely this isn’t the air pump, rather the hydraulic unit for the soft top operation. Any other clues?

VIN WDD2074022F142205 Can anyone help me locate the air pump?

Thanks for your help, Whitenemesis. Still uncertain where the pump is located on my cab. Will the VIN help in locating. Anyone have an idea as it would be great to have the seats working again

Seats were working a few months ago. No sound from pump (wherever it is) no dampness either side. Is the pump on the left side behind rear light cluster

The only likely candidate I spied was behind nearside rear light cluster (rhd) It did have a foam jacket and a plastic reservoir with level indicator. I assumed this to be the hydraulic unit for operating the soft-top. Would this be the air pump although I’m mystified by the liquid in the reservoir

Thanks, so I need to access the pump from the rear of the driver’s seat. Is this easily done or are there pitfalls I should be aware of. All pipes and switches under the seat seem to in order so I’m assuming the pump motor (bushes) need cleaning for the contour seats to work again

Hi All, Could one of you advise me where I can locate the air pump for the contour seats on a 2011 E220 CDI Cabriolet (A207) as I suspect the bushes may need attention/cleaning since the seats are not working
