[valenciancellars]

Hi, I need to change the seat sensor in the w210 cloth seat , its a classic with lift and tilt electrics. I need to remove the seat apparently but need advice how to go about this procedure as I´m frightened where to start.Can someone give me a diagram or explain how to go about this task please. My srs light is lit and Mercedes said it was the seat sensor , so I´ve bought it from Nick mercedes as getting the job done in Mercedes is 400quid and for 2002 car its not happening.

thks Tony

I have sent them both, one for removing the seat, and the other for taking off the cover.


Its a shame that no one gives this info on the your other forum, but I am nice and kind

Super Malcolm , got the messages with diagrams .When the sensor arrives I´ll get to it .

cheers Tony

Just a tip,olly uses tie cables to re attach the cover then using the round twist rods, gives a better finish he says!

Thanks again for the instructions on how to remove the seat cushion ,the first thing I have to do is remove the seat adjustment mechanism, but there are no detailed instructions how to do this and I am worried about how many screws and were to remove them from.
It says AR91.10-P1450F beside the 1.REMOVE SEAT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM .

Incidentally my sensor has only arrived a few days ago after a long wait on emails from Euromerc, maybe they were on holiday but that was the delay in getting the part.I have the sensor now so I´m happy .

Hi,
On the subject of seats i,m going to have to remove my drivers seat as the right hand side Orthopedic bladder has become dislodged and has slipped around cushion, whilst i was doing this i was gonna replace the lower seat cushioning as well (as i am rather on the large size), is this a straight forward job or is it worth taking it to a trimmer, any thoughts?

Many thanks fantastic , I´ll try to do the job now with the aid of the diagrams ,

Well, started dismantling the seat , the base doesn´t seem to want to come apart from the seat adjuster mechanism despite removing the 2 torx bolts at the rear and the 2 smaller torx at the front .Its like there´s another thing stopping them separate .

Also looking at the sensor I have from Nick, it looks bigger than than the seat cushion area ,like a matt of small sensors .Can anyone confirm that there is only one sensor and it does go in the cushion not the seat back.

thks Tony

only on the squab

I have got to the sensor to discover its not the same as the one I ordered from Nick, Mine has a white plastic box attached with 3 wires, blue red and brown and the new sensor doesnt with only 2 wires so obviously the connector wont just plug in either . Have I GOT THE WRONG SENSOR from Nick , I think I have and need clarification before putting it in the seat .Even if it could work the cable connector blocks pins will be incorrect .

CONFUSED !

 

[valenciancellars]

Checked with Mercedes directly ,the sensor is not for my car, its for chassis up to x012 and mine is chassis x075 ,they confirmed its the old type sensor and will not work so will have to post it pback tommorrow and hopw Nick Mercedes can issue refund .

Well bad luck this time .
