Do the front belts in a W124 have an explosive charge to tighten them
in
the event of an accident?
Yes, so far as I know. If they've got a bag they
have belt tensioners too.

Hmm, don't know. I know there's a date stamp inside the door saying when
the airbag should be serviced. Maybe they check and replace the belt
tensioners if required at the same time?

I'll have to double check, I haven't looked at the date stamp in some time

Is that what that stands for? I always wondered why the belts on both
