Morning everyone. Ive just recently purchased a W208 CLK 320 and love it!
Last Friday I put the drivers seat all the way forward to clean the back and now its stuck in this position. All other electric seat functions work except for the forwards and backwards. Which being stuck all the way forwadr at 6'4" tall is a pain!
Ive tried everything found using the seach on these forums,....fuses are fine, tapped the motor with a hammer and pulled the connecting wore blocks from the unit under the drivers seat to try and reset but to no avail.
My mechanic, who is very good has also tried to remove the seat to replace the motor but is unable to get to the 2 bolts at the front as the seat is over them.
He has taken it to Mercedes garage and spoke to their main service manager who has advised cutting the seat out, replacing the motor and buying a new seat.
This seems a tad extreme to me, surely there is another way of moving the seat back to take it out??????? Any suggestions?
Mike.
