Hi all, I was having problems with my tail gate lock on my Vito 639. The rest of the doors work fine but the rear started playing up, obviously, I have all my tools in there so a new genuine lock was ordered from merc. to cut a long story short, I fitted the lock and it locked perfectly. The next day I went to unlock it and it made all the right sounds but wouldn’t unlock. Luckily I’d left all the panels off so easy to get to. I can only imagine that it must of been faulty from the off as the only way I could get the door open was to obliterate the lock with a crowbar. It took me around 30 minutes to get the door open so, in a way, well done Mercedes for the security but pissed off that was best part of a tone down the drain!! So what’s my question, do new locks need to be coded in star??
thanks
