Hi all, I've had another one of my daft ideas again.:rolleyes: This time I'm thinking about fitting the rear spoiler from a 1993 vw polo, to the tailgate of the s124 wagon. It dose sort of fit, but I'm not sure that it dosent just looks silly. I've posted a picture below of it held on with...

I need to remove the interior trim and panel from the rear tailgate to gain access to the washer hose. Trouble is I have removed the pop type clips round the edge of the bottom piece of trim but it doesn't want to come away. Is there something else I need to do?

Searched the forum for strut problems and found various links to SGS as a good source to buy replacment struts. Just need to know if anyone has any advice on actual replacement procedure as I'm not keen on damaging any internal headlining etc if it needs removal. Struts dissapear in to the...

Can anyone get hold of four of this little piece by any chance please? It's the little black two-part fixing rivet which holds the black plastic drainage channel on the inside of the tailgate aperture on the S211. I have found two part numbers - A0009908492 and A0009902592. Just in case...

Following on from the thread by our man Corned (although I must add that this thread is not my interest in his thread). LINK. My 2008 Vito has developed a puzzling leak at the tailgate area. The leak manifests itself only when the van has been stood in the rain. If I hose or...

There appears to be wiring and factory cut space for speakers in the rear tailgate of my '91 230TE. All very handy apart from when I remove the "door card" for the tailgate I find the rear wiper relay sitting it the tailgate where one of the speakers would appear to fit: I'm presuming...

Seems like the gas struts on my C-class estate (203) are due for change as I have to help them to lift the tailgate. And I know I'm going to bang my head on it soon, as it won't lift to full height without a shove! Are there any uprated ones available, or have the standard ones been...

Folks My rear wash wipe is leaking inside the tailgate. This is happening somewhere near the top of the tailgate. I cannot get the O/S trim off the tailgate to remove the tubing. Silly problem but it does not want to come off and I dont want to break the trim. Is there a knack to this. I...

I have an S211 without the magic powered opening tailgate. Can anyone confirm for me that the tailgate should lift itself up once I've opened it a bit? Mine will hold itself up but needs pushing right from opening to full height. I suspect the gas struts are getting a bit tired. I have the WIS...

My S204 has recently started with an intermittent warning sign, tailgate open, flashing up in red for a second on the central display and then going away. The tailgate is operating correctly, opening/closing, so most likely a sensor problem. Anyone had a similar problem?

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. I was just wondering what everybody thinks to the rear view camera that sits in place of the numberplare light. Would you get one or do you think it ruins the looks of the car and is it worth damaging the wiring loom? Thanks dokalj
