I'll start with the disclaimer that I've never had to work on this 
system other than the fuse trick, but this doesn't sound right.


The close assist pump is in the trunk and retails for $760 and shouldn't 
be more than an hour's labor to replace if it went bad.  Inside the door 
there's nothing but an actuator and vacuum lines, no individual pumps. 
Keep investigating.

They are not hydraulic, they are vacuum.  There is a vacuum pump for all 
the doors, then each door has an actuator.  If this is the car you paid 
17K for, you paid WAY too much, especially since you are now finding 
things wrong with it.  For that kind of money, the car should have about 
40k miles, perfect paint and interior, and everything should work on it.

things wrong with it.  For that kind of money, the car should have about 
40k miles, perfect paint and interior, and everything should work on it.

You mean the actuator?  140 800 19 75, they're the same front and rear, 
from '92 to '99.  $87.84 from Rusty.  Door panel R&R is one area which 
is not an improvement over previous models.

Re: [MBZ] S320 LWB - ?? for Kaleb

[Bill R]

Thanks for the info Tom.  I've been tied up with my writing project and am a
few hundred emails behind once more.  I'm figuring out a few things on the
S320, though I don't get a lot of opportunity to drive it.  I'm just glad my
lead footed darling wife doesn't do distance driving anymore [she covered
Gainesville to Naples some years ago when she was doing medical case
management].  She has already commented that it seems to hit 80 with no
encouragement, and when she starts wondering why everyone else on the road
is going so slowly she has learned to check the speedometer.  I'm sure 140
would be next if she were on the freeway.  The activated carbon filter seems
to be working ok as I only caught a sniff of smoke once, and I doubt she has
stopped just to honor the car.  It is a great ride though, and the first car
that I would rather drive than my '81 300SD.  Each time it has been in for
some issue the dealer has filled the tank, also.  WE have yet to put any
fuel in it, and I suspect they fill it up in hopes that we will not be near
them when we first have to do so.  We might come back and pound on one of
them.  I'm not looking for this to save any fuel costs over her I30.  That
one was bad enough at near 20 MPG, and used regular.  I had them check on
the hydraulic pump on the driver's door, and that one seems to be dead.  I
wonder if the pump is the same for all four doors as a replacement might be
available from a donor car somewhere.  The other three and the trunk all
work fine.  She says she has noticed that people seem to give her a bit of
space when she approaches intersections in this one vs. the I30.  
KALEB - do you have a good hydraulic pump from a rear door that will fit
this thing?

There are three cabin filters on a W140.  The recirc filter is in the 
passenger footwell; the main filter is under the hood on top of the 
blower motor; and the pollen filter behind the evaporator, which is a 
huge PIA, costs $400, and is probably original and doesn't really work 
like it is supposed to at this point.  None of them are automatic, you 
have to push a button to turn on the super filter.  You should check and 
replace the two normal filters; "dealer service" is code for "we pretend

slam those heavy doors closed all the time.

My favorite of the new tricks (other than the multilink rear suspension 
and some semblance of rust protection) is the climate control 
diagnostics.  Start it up and hold the "rest" button for five or so 
seconds, and cycle through the options with the "auto" buttons.  You'll 
figure a few of them out, but I can dig up the whole list if you like.

Have fun,

Only one corner of it.  Nissan truck broke the headlight and turn signal 
lenses and slightly curled up the leading edge of the fender.  It is at 
the panelbeaters right now getting unsmashed.  I'm a rock magnet and the 
paint on the front of the car has gone from excellent to the surface of 
the moon in the two years I've had it, so a free respray is worth all 
the hassle and having to drive a Kia all week.

Re: [MBZ] S320 LWB

[Bill R]

Thanks Wilton, Dave and Ed.  Let's just say we own much of it.  Decided to
finance part of it rather than strip down savings that much.

We took the oft repeated advice from some on the list and paid top dollar
for a beautiful example of a 1997 S230 LWB.  The car was sold and 
serviced

at the dealer, and kept in wonderful condition by what seems an anal
retentive type.  Service records are up to date.  It has all options for
its

[WILTON]

A 230 or a 320?  The one with the 20" wheels?  Are you keeping those? 
Congrats and good luck.  ;<)

Is it really LWB?

We took the oft repeated advice from some on the list and paid top dollar
for a beautiful example of a 1997 S230 LWB.  The car was sold and serviced
at the dealer, and kept in wonderful condition by what seems an anal
retentive type.  Service records are up to date.  It has all options for 
its

year, including a phone in the arm rest, and was traded on a new E class.
Here's hoping that it is as good as we are led to believe.

Obviously I don't know much about it yet.  Make that a long wheel base S320,
not a 230.

We took the oft repeated advice from some on the list and paid top dollar
for a beautiful example of a 1997 S230 LWB.  The car was sold and serviced
at the dealer, and kept in wonderful condition by what seems an anal
retentive type.  Service records are up to date.  It has all options for its
year, including a phone in the arm rest, and was traded on a new E class.
Here's hoping that it is as good as we are led to believe.
