Noticed yesterday that the soft close mechanism for the boot on our 03 SL350 no longer works. Central locking works as it should.
There is a good tutorial on tinterweb showing how to repair if leaking, but a bit confusing is the fact that the red button boot closer has also packed in.
Am I correct in thinking that the soft close operated by the pse pump is entirely separate from the button closer and that the latter is operated by a hydraulic pump? If so are there 2 different problems here?
Any advice where the pump for the button closer is and what it looks like would be very much appreciated.
