HI,
I have just become the proud owner of an 89 W124 230TE and love it - accept for the front seats, which are very bouncy!
The result is that every time I hit large bump, being 6'4" I quite literally hit the roof!
Can anything be done about this or are they just worn out?


Cheers

Jos
 
124 seats are generally renowned for being rather firm.

Is it the same on both front seats or just the drivers? If its just the drivers seat then I recon the sporings have gone.. if its both then its unlikely but still possible I guess.

I would undo the four bolts holding the seat in place and turn it upside down and have a look. New seat spring arrangements can be bought from your stealership but they are a bit of a pain to fit.
 
I tend to agree with Sp!ke, my 200T has quite firm seats and the 260E's seats are very firm. As for new seat springs, yes quite difficult to fit. Another option would be to search the breakers for matching seats. Give Pluggers a PM as he knows of a good breakers in Knutsford I think.
