There isn't anything on seat noises, that I can find, in the W126  
Service Library, but there are a couple of items in the W124 Service  
Library. They may, or may not, be similar enough to help.

If you would like me to send them to you, let me know. They are PDFs  
and 1.4 MB and 4.6 MB in size.
