Subject: [W124] Thanks!... now how to disassemble the trunk lid?
Message-ID: <BAY112-W20A57BDD66A4486B91973C83420@phx.gbl>


Hi all,

Thanks for the replies!  I found the exact match thanks to BZ Girl  - it's from Rockport Auto.  :-)

Sooo... I figure I'll try my next question... :-)

I'm trying to disassemble my trunk lid to get the piece behind the plastic filler cleaned out (part # 134 in the diagram).  I can already tell there's dirt getting in which along with water is a recipe for rust..

So I've gotten most of it off until I was trying to get the narrow horizontal plastic piece off (part # 74 in the diagram).  There's two screws on the ends but it looks like there's still more holding it in...  # 77, 80, 83, and 86 in the diagram??  

So my question is how to get to those?  I'm guessing I'll have to take the trunk lid inside liner off but not sure how to do that.  Any help would be appreciated!

Plus the trunk lid star is bent a bit at the top so this would be a good time to take it off and get it curved properly.  :-)

Thanks Brian, I actually just found that same site last night.  It's not a perfect match to mine since their version has the black edge is visible directly from the top.

Check out the one at rockport auto, that one has more coverage of the burl.. Hopefully it won't break!

The trunk lid liner can be just popped out. First, there are two  
'scrivets', two-piece plastic expanding rivets, one at each hinge  
area. Pull the center piece of the scrivet out with small screw  
driver. The outside can now be pulled out.

Then, the rest of the liner is held in with a type of floating, push- 
in fastener, that goes into a corresponding hole in the lid framework.  
About 8? (not positive of the number) of them. Not sure what the  
correct name is for them, but you just pry the liner off, starting at  
one corner, pulling each fastener off (with the liner), one at a time.  
To put back on, you just snap them back in. No tools really required.

Not sure if the above liner removal is reqd for removing #74, but  
could be. You also have to maybe remove the license plate light assys?

Subject: [W124] Thanks!... now how to disassemble the trunk lid?
In-Reply-To: <mailman.73.1222973559.41671.w124list@mbcoupes.com>
References: <mailman.73.1222973559.41671.w124list@mbcoupes.com>

So I got around this weekend to taking apart some of the trunk to get that horizontal plastic insert out and man, when I got under it I was seeing some scary stuff!

There are basically 8 nut / bolt combinations that hold it in place and around each of the openings rust was starting to form (the biggest was probably 0.5 sq inches).  I cleaned out all the rust spots, primed it, repainted and clearcoated.  But the reason why rust formed in the first place is because it's a great place for water / dirt to collect over time - the tiny gap between the body and the horizontal plastic filler is the likely culprit.

I thought of leaving the plastic fillers off altogether but don't like the look plus it would leave a bunch of exposed holes.  Any suggestions on how to keep this area clean?  I'm thinking of lining the plastic filler with something rubbery?

Subject: [W124] Ignition lock tumbler
Message-ID: <738318.77790.qm@web31308.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Anyone out there have any ideas on how to re & re an ignition lock tumbler. The below info tells me to to put the key into the number "1" position, problem is the reason I'm changing it is because it won't turn at all, if I could put into the number 1 position, I wouldn't be changing it....lol.




	* On model(s) 124 or 201, turn lock cylinder (36) into position "1" with key. 
	* Press disengaging wire (0100) into the bores (arrows) and unlock the locking detents by overcoming the spring resistance. 
	* Remove lock cylinder (36) with cap (36b) from steering lock (37). 
	* Remove key and disengaging wire (0100) from lock cylinder (36), remove cap (36b).

Message-ID: <BAY112-W19879F4B36F4B96EA4D7E583340@phx.gbl>


hi there - i'm hoping to get some help with an overheating issue (i'veread lots of posts but not sure if any match my issue...). i'm drivinga 1993 w124 (300ce).

i replaced a stuck thermostat about 2 months ago to fix a previous cooling issue and it worked like a charm..

now it seems like the issue is back again, so yesterday i popped thehood open and noticed that the pipe that goes from the radiator to thethermostat (circle in pic) was pinched shut, obviously from some kindof vacuum created internally!!!

after about 30 mins the vacuum went away but i also turn the car on (not the engine just to the first key stop).

appreciate to hear your ideas on what this could be!     


b.t.w. in case anyone has a squeaky HVAC blower motor and wants to replace it let me know... I just did a cleaning / inspection of it last night and can help out!  :)

Keep jiggling the key and the steering wheel until you can get that puppy to
turn. If you can turn it as described, R&R is fairly straightforward. If
not, it's a major PITA that involves careful drilling. That's pretty much
the whole story.

I would suggest pressure testing the system. My 92 had an o ring under the intake that leaked but you could never see a leak.

Why not  post the lower motor fix  so we can all read or send it to me alone as I wil be doing the same on my 500E this fall..

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone can share insights on converting the original MB car phone which is analogue to a digital model?  I still want all (at least most) of the factory features to be functional but have the availability of the car phone.

I only found a single source of info but it's from 8 years ago!   http://www.mercedesshop.com/shopforum/archive/index.php/t-5787.html

I also tried searching the Motorola part #'s provided with no luck...

Thoughts?

Actually if you got national laws against using your cellular phone while
driving, you may use the cars original phone legally. 

So it is in Norway though, dunno about other countries. 

Anyway we all should do as Jay says, cos phone conversations are the reason
for many accidents.

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone can share insights on converting the original MB car
phone which is analogue to a digital model?  I still want all (at least
most) of the factory features to be functional but have the availability of
the car phone.

I only found a single source of info but it's from 8 years ago!

I also tried searching the Motorola part #'s provided with no luck...

Thoughts?

Jay - also nothing personal, but if someone takes your reference to the extreme, people would bring their ipods into cars and listen on headphones, rather than trying to find ways to seamlessly integrate (aesthetically and functionally).  I just want my original carphone setup to be functional in modern times, that's all.  :-)

anyway, do I use my cell and drive?  no.  actually, I typically keep my cell phone in my bag, which I keep in the trunk since it also has my laptop.  so why would I want the in-car phone working?  why not? if its possible with some effort and $$...

so i'm hoping to get some technical knowledge / advice since as our cars get older, coming across technical know-how will get harder and it'd be nice to preserve it somewhere!  :)
