It's mad funny that I was gonna replace the whole actuator for 100 bucks on my E55 W211 and realized that I could spend 10 bucks on a spring to fix it. Then I saw the duct tape fix and tried it and I fixed it for free. Thank you for the ghetto fix🤣

Thanks for this video, it really helped me with the spring replacement in the actuators on my S211 E55

I think I'll just get a replacement door 😂

glad I found this video. Was about to drop $60 on a new actuator for my e class

Thank you very much! Your video was a great help!!

Thank you - helped me a lot *.*

Thank you very much! Your video was a great help for me.

Thanks for the video! I am having the same issue with a SLK R171 2004. Do you know if the same kit works for SLK as well? Looking online there is no kit directly for SLK. Thank you very much :)

have you done this on a SL ? same era?> would it be the same procedure more or less? do you need to drill and destroy rivets holding the regulator?

In the description can you please add the seller's info to buy the springs. Thx

Cool men 🗽🇰🇿

Very detail video, T Q

still looking for the springs!!

Would this also work for an ML 320? Also, I have tried to do the repair on the door lock switch you showed as an example at the beginning of your video. The problem is my locks don't unscrew, or I can't get them and screw can you give me any suggestions?

You dont need to unscrew it

I went to this nightmare on my ML 320 3 times 3 locks got problem with bouncing lock and now I have #4 to do but your tape trick works so I will leave it be. I actually had problem with vacuum and not the spring so need to replace the hole actuator

exelente muchas gracias

Nuthin 2 it but to DO it, right? Strong work! It is similar assembly on E320-CDI. Car D ologist did a YT video on complete replacement of passenger door lock actuator with a new unit due to suspected electrical failure on his but this will be much more cost-effective if unit can actually be repaired with just a spring & put back in-service. I have seen passenger door do this machine-gun effect a couple times so setup fob to only unlock driver door on 1st button tap & other 3 stay put unless I tap it again.

on my W211 all 4 springs died within one month -.- cost me 150 EURO / door to repair

It's possible to get it out without cutting the car, I've just done it.

Care to share with the class how?

More moving parts = more problems. Mercedes = more expensive. Mercedes + more moving parts = more problems + more expensive. Not worth it. Especially for a product that claims to be superior to others.

deezynar Mercedes built in Germany are different from Mercedes in America. American Mercedes are shit. Mercedes built and used in Germany are of a higher quality.

I used the following video to resolve my issue on an A Class: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWVh2MqNctLMlag.html
