How do I access the Cigarette Lighter to replace defective unit?

[dpg1962]

Can anyone advise how I access/remove/replace the entire cigarette lighter unit on a W210 Mercedes E Class Estate? I have purchased a replacement unit and just want to fit it.

Any guidance would be most appreciated

looked on the epc...
looks like you remove the actual ash bit - as in when emptying - then underneath is one phillips screw...

I took a look after removing the "ash bit" but aalas I could find no screw....could you tell me where this should be.....

maybe under part 600?

edit - ah - screw 630 - two off. so i presume they are at the back of the unit, so you have to remove 650 / 655 first..

Sorry Guy, but what is part 600?

 

[dpg1962]

Sorry I can see your image now...I could'nt to begin with....damn comouters...I don't think they'll catch on!!!

Now all I have to do is work out how to remove 650 / 655....without causing damage

If it's anything like the w202, you have to remove the armrest first!

Thanks Shude but I suspect it is nothing like the w202 as it is nowhere near the armrest look at the pic posted by Guy and you can see clearly.....

The w202 ashtray isn't anywhere near the armrest either, but it shares a pair of screws with it!
