Hi
Another Mercedes door lock behaving crazy...
A common problem on this cars and cars from the same era and family...
I tackle this in the past, but felt I could make a better video this time...
First time I had this issue:
• Mercedes C220 W203 fau...

Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions or comments put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching! - Авто та транспорт
I did this exact repair on the same model car, and again in a few months, the spring was not broken on either occasion, but a simple repair has lasted longer than anything, which is to wrap a couple of turns of insulating tape around the locking knob, the extra resistance means it works just fine.
This is better episode I have been watched for repairing lock machine ever
😊
👍👍👍
I miss the 'spring' also....😀. Thank you for the video. What a nightmare to get the door lock assembly out...
Yes... it is a bit of a pain...
😊
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Loved the title machine gun effect door locks. As a mechanic one of my pet hates is removing door cards and faffing about inside of doors that was a quality repair that you carried out and certainly worth knowing thank you.
I confess I don't like to remove door cards either...
You always scared that you are going to break the plastic clips etc... which often it happens... lol
Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Fantastic job as always :) Many of people would replace whole door lock, you managed to fix it, much cheaper then replacing whole part :)
Very true...
Thank you for watching!
👍👍👍
Great job Luis!!!
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Good stuff, my favorite Sunday morning watch :)
If you're a BMW owner with alarm/lock issues, Lloyds BMW ebay store selling new lock mechanism for only £39 at the moment, substancial saving. I've fitted a few to solve the alarm going off randomly issue. ISTA fault code typically references drivers door, have seen passenger lock fail once but usually drivers side only.
Thanks for the tip...

Great video, thanks: My friends Merc just started doing this, now I can order the bits and get it sorted 👍.
😊

Either way for the ESP, you will need a scan... otherwise will be most likely pure guess work...
And that, can become very expensive, very quickly...😊
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Top repair as always mate good to know 👍👍👍🙌
👍👍👍
Thanks!
Nice repair video 👍
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Great video!
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Note to self: Buy rivet gun.
What a nuisance having to deal with rivets to dissemble the door. Good thing you had them to hand Luis.
😊
I bought it years ago... only used it a few times... 😋
Thanks, for watching and for your comment!
Excellent
Thanks!
Nice fix Luis. I bet you can't just buy the spring separately at Merc spares. Thousand + quid repair at the dealer lol.
Never asked... but doubt...
They will most certainly sell the lock itself...
👍👍👍
The spring offers no resistance so the door module doesn't know if it is locked or not. Hence the lock bouncing.
Hello, thanks for the video, what type of grease do u use for lubricating plastic parts like that? Thanks
Usually white lithium based grease...
Thank you for watching!
Hi, I only recently found your channel. Is there also a way to repair a right rear lock on the more recent W204 2008 door lock? So far I haven't found any information but to replace the complete lock. Which does require a lot of work. ( on the inside the door has a riveted panel that one has to remove )
Not sure... As I can't remember working on one of those... either way you need to remove the lock...
Thank you for watching!
👍👍👍
Thanks for the vid helped as other vids are way to dark to see and don't point out easy like you did on the spring. It is very silly you have to drill out the rivet to get it out what a silly design Choice to make on Mercedes part. I got away with the only the 2 rivets holding the runner and pulling on it to just make room for it to slip out and back in as don't have a rivet gun to put it back so will need to get 1 to make sure it not brake it over time being lose as don't want to do it to the airbag rivet's.
☺️
👍👍👍
Hej dear sir please tel me what is thik problem in 1.8 Grand picasso C4.the message on code Reader.
Incoherence between the stoplamp switch and pressure
Sensor. Coherence.
Thanks alot. Which thing i check ABS light esp light come.
Check your live data for the pressure in the ESP unit...
Possibly a bad sensor...
Thank you for watching!
I had the same problem on a Citroen Saxo, but replaced the whole lock assembly. It was a nightmare to replace it. It's amazing that a Mercedes and Citroen share the same problems. Is it a Valeo part?
Pass... can't remember now...
👍👍👍
Wo kann ich die Zange mit den Federn bestellen?
Vielen Dank für das Video.
Great repair as always!! Any ideas what has happened to Car Exposed?
Not sure... he might be editing his videos...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I will forward your concerns to him...
👍👍👍
Hey John holiday is over 😊 video coming out soon , I hope you and the family are well see you soon 👍🙌
I tried for two hours and still unable to put the spring back, its really hard....
Hello Luis, I heard that this spring set is of much lower quailty than the original ones. Do you have any experience with this spring set?
Well, this was the first time I used it...
This video was recorded about 1 year ago... and it still working...
So, all can say, is that is good for at least 1 year...😋
👍👍👍
Would would they use rivet's instead of bolt's.
Another great "fix" most people can swap parts not so many can repair
😊
Thank you!
👍👍👍
How did you put the spring back?????????
It was tricky...
But there is a away to do it...
Some kits come with some scissors to put the spring back, which makes things a bit easier...
👍👍👍
А где можно заказать эти пружинки с щипчиками?
Спасибо за видео.
How do I contact you
👍

Le Mercedes hanno TUTTE una serie di difetti congeniti che potrebbero essere eliminati con solo particolari di materiali piu' resistenti :
i cavi elettrici degli specchietti , i tetti lamellari delle classe A , le molle delle serrature .
Tutte rotture da pochi centesimi che alla casa richiedono ricambi per centinaia se non migliaia di euro .
Dopo la terza Mercedes con tali problemi , credo che passerò ad altra marca !
Quase o 1 😅
😊
👍👍👍
that should never happen, there is no reason to use poor quality spring steel for such a tiny item in view of all the work involved to replace it .. that's a black mark for Mercedes. well done, I suppose no one else wanted to do that, what a faffing job.
😊
True... very faffing... lol
👍👍
MB lost it's quality.Doorlocks working as a renault clio.what a pitty that.
🤣
Kinda true... lol
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
On Renault Clio doorlock work like a charm! Take this in consideration!
Mercedes made in China
😊🤣
