I'm new at this, but it looks like it's A 124 540 05 68, shows as Flexible Shaft 2000mm. You might want to wait for someone more experienced to verify that though.

There are 3 types of bulb in the tail light cluster on the W209. The Halfords GE bulb numbers are 207 - 12V 5W R5W (the smallest one in the cluster), 380 - 12V 21/5W P21/5W - the twin filament bulb, there's only one of those - the rest are 382 - 12V 21W P21W. Last time I got that message I got a...

The two units have different part numbers, so I'm not sure that would work.

Hi all, I've noticed an issue with my 209 seats. The driver's seat no longer responds to the door buttons. Also, neither seat automatically moves forward when the back is tilted and the steering wheel adjustment does not move as I get in and out of the car. My icarsoft says that control module...

I got mine off eBay. Just do a search for Mercedes WIS.

That's unsporting. That's happened within the last 12 months then - either that I was very lucky and got one of the last prepainted ones.

I used this site: Mercedes-Benz Parts, Inchcape I finished up calling them as I couldn't get the payment to go through, they were very helpful. I can't image the colour coding thing is model specific or anything - in fact, is your part number similar to mine? I think both our cars borrowed from...

That's just my point Alistair - they do. I ordered mine and it came in the colour I needed. I gave them the exact part number and it arrived colour coded to my car.

Here's some info from the WIS and to remove the triangle:

Can I ask what colour the one you have is? When I ordered one online for my 2006 CLK it came in the same black paint as the rest of the car - I thought the colour code was a suffix to the part number. Yep - just checked the handle for mine, the last few digits of the part number indicate the...

Hi. I have a CLK320 convertible which I'm very happy with. Couldn't comment on 'common' problems but a couple mine had when I bought it: The batteries in the alarm siren had leaked and shorted out. This manifests itself as the remote central locking failing to work unless you're a few inches...

OI had the exact same problem in my CLK which turned out to be the alarm siren. The batteries corrode and short out causing the fuse to blow, which also powers the amps for the central locking and radio antennae. The alarm is indeed behind the front passenger wheel. Remove the wheel, unclip the...

Got mine recently. It doesn't do coding as such, just certain resets. It reads all module DTCs as well as live data, for example, it will show you live readings from your parktronic sensors. It's a good bit of kit. You can see the full feature list on the iCarsoft website.

Never heard of DH gate before. Do you recall which seller you used? (sorry to hijack your thread btw alllr)

That's less than I thought. I'm guessing it's the multiplexer that's the expensive part? How did you manage to do it so cheaply? I actually like looking at the coding/reprogramming side of things. Did a bit of this on my last BMW, but it's so much easier and cheaper on those things.

That's good to know. I rather go for the star myself, but it's a little outside my budget at the moment.

I've just ordered an MB2, how do you rate them?

Sorted it. The trick is to keep the cable from the IR sensor out of the way. It has a tendency to curl up and obstruct the slot the bar goes into. I used a small screwdriver through one of the door trim holes to gently push it down as I was reinserting the barrel and it slotted straight in. I...

Hi all, I bought a 2006 W209 CLK convertible just after Christmas with a few issues. I've resolved most of them with the help of this forum (thanks to all previous posters btw) - a biggy (for me) being the alarm siren shorting out and effectively disabling the remote central locking and radio...
