The passenger window on my W124 coupe [should that be a C124:confused: ] doesn't close correctly and I have been told that a new motor is required and recommended to source one from a scrappy.

Will any electric window motor from a W124 work? Are they the same for all the doors? Are there any other models which share the same motor?

Thanks.

I went to the scrappy and pulled a motor out of an H Reg 230TE and it didn't fit. The bolt patern was different and a different amount of teeth on the cog.

It was for my 320CE.

I don't have a motor on that side at present and the window is giving a lot of wind noise.

It's quite difficult to remove window motor if you can't drop the window down a little.

I think the Coupe's are different from the 'normal' saloons. Added difficulty if I remember is they are riveted on, not bolted, makes it a bit of a curse to repair.
However I would think it's the teeth on the regulator quadrant which will be worn, and motor could be OK. The gear on the motor is a bit harder than the quadrant.

I think Merc have a few sources for window motors. My original window thing was all bolted together, so I could take it apart. The one I got from the scrapies was riveted, though I think you can drill this out and rebuild it.

The bolt pattern was different, so I couldn't fit it to the door, but it was still three bolts.

I'll do some pictures tomorrow.
