Hey I know this is an old video but can I speak with you about a few things. I also need a couple of parts. THanks, Dave

Great video, thanks for this.

Looking for 1988 mercedes sec grill

Cool video Bob I have wanted to take my door panel off to service my windows and thanks for this video I will give it a go keeping in mind the clips along to top. thumbs up man good video.

Do you have a C126 grille for 560sec 1987?

Nice video of the basics on this grill. Liked it! Now, how do you repair it? In my spare parts pile (1-car garage with full shelves!), I have several SEC grills. One is reasonable, the rest need repairs from just a little bit, to broken in pieces. Any idea how to glue/melt the plastic slats back together? Can the "chrome" surround be repaired? Again - nice video!

You forgot to mention replacing the o rings 😮

Are you selling it ?

Can you do video on how to put the entire third light assembly please.

Hello bob, do you still have 2 door panels with the speaker cutouts available. In the colour grey.

Thanks, Bob - a very clear, concise step-by-step guide, with practical warnings to be noted and tips along the way.

Hello I am looking at white face gauge covers for my 1987 300d. But they all have unleaded printed or economy meter. The w126 over lay doesn't have this. My question is are the w126 gauge faces the same as w124. Thank you for your time.

❤ أحسنت ...شكرااا لك من ليبيا ❤

I have the same burlwood piece (gen2) from Turkey but have not tried to fit it yet. Lucky i have plenty of original faded spares with cracks in clearcoat to swap parts out There pricing as way better than your local Madera Wood in US who are super expensive for any of the wood trims so that is the trade-off i suppose

Bob, How do you repair the digital display for the exterior temperature readout? I can only see the first digit of the temperature. I found your channel a couple of days ago; I subscribed and hit the notification button so I know when you post new videos.

Amazing it's still available. Minor modifications are expected

I was close to ordering a set for my c126, this was helpful thanks - Tre's cameo :)

This is a great video, thnx! I want to repair the sender unit if my Mercedes W108 (1966). Can i ask you: 1) what type of Nichrome wite do I need? And should it be type Ni80? 2) Is it true that if the resistance wires are not tense enough, the sender unit won’t work?

Perdón el mío es el 280 s año 1981 y nececito saber dónde va

Is This senders are similar for 126 and 123 🧐🧐🧐🧐or not?

What about the lens, particularly the left? Original is discontinued. Have you found an aftermarket manufacturer for the left lens on these SEC fog lights? Thanks.

Ok guys before you purchase a new fuel sending unit try and clean the electrical connection on top of the unit first. Don't make the same mistake I did, and purchase a new VDO sending unit which didn't solve the gauge Fluctuating issue. I took the old one apart, and cleaned it up well put it back together and used a 220 grit sand paper to clean the electrical connection on the sending unit. It works perfectly fine now.BTW it's a 1995 E320

Thanks..

Can you swap a gen 1 headlight with a gen 2 or european one?…not that crazy with the gen one headlight look vs the other two

Great video, just found your channel, and your doing a great job, very informative,,thank you from Canada,,,

Very thorough, thank you. New subscriber.

Hi Bob👋Thanks for the video! Steel wool, emory, soldering kit, swabs, alcohol, compressed air, Patience, a lot of TLC and you’re good to go! All rebuildable VDOs!!! That’s the Beauty of Mercedes Benz… MOST EVERYTHING IS REBUILDABLE 😎! I had to rebuild 2 of these a short while ago…A used spare that was sitting in a parts box when I got my Gwagen…(The Ni/Cr wire was broken and kinked in places) and the one in the vehicle. (The fuel gauge was jumping all over the place😱!) The outcome was good…they both work excellent; no more erratic gauges… The socket for this item is a 46mm shallow (at least on mine). And I believe that they’re mostly typical on these old Benz… Thanks again for the vid👍🏼Keep doing what you do. And keep sharing! A humble grease🐒

THANK YOU for this very informative video. Greetings from South Africa

Off-topic, how often have you encountered a manual antenna, no power? Code 534

I have a 1988, 560 SEC, having issue with drivers side power headrest. Goes up but will not go down without helping it by manually pushing down on it while holding button down. Would appreciate any guidance if you know anything about this issue. Thanks for your helpful videos.

Thanks for doing this series on the antenna repair, currently having issues with mine. Will be watching intently.

Thanks Bob, this was exactly what I needed to see and I greatly appreciate you taking the time and careful explination to show how to do this properly. 😊
