Thanks for the tutorial, just did it and works great

[@bradleypetersen6871]

Glad I could assist. Mine still working 100%👍🏼

[@Bridscape]

Can you make a video tutorial on the rear door?

[@sc225]

What type of screw you use to screw in the blacket to hold that after actuator. Do you need to drill a hole thru.

[@iltown]

I’m having the same problem but passenger left side. Is it the same procedure. I have C180 CGI 2010 model.

[@garethbird4259]

Nice fix, going to do mine soon. Do you need to disconnect the battery before cutting any wires?

[@mercedesrepairs4833]

Hi, sorry for only responding now. Always good practice to disconnect the battery when working with your car electronics and stripping anything. I just made sure my key was out and not in ignition and not to use key while wires disconnected and open. Besides its only the 2 wires for door lock you'll be mending. If you feel safer disconnecting bat then I would suggest you do so. Let me know if you came right. Mine still working 100%

[@sramzurc8000]

Will it work at the rear too?

[@sc225]

will this work if my car have keyless entry ? (All I have to do is touch the door handle to open/lock instead using the key

[@parthik899]

Thanks. Very helpful. does the rear left door have enough room for this ?

[@bradleypetersen6871]

Sorry for only responding now, not sure as I did both front doors. Perhaps take the rear door panel off and have a look I'm sure you should be able to make a plan to get it to work on rear door also. Hope you come right👍🏼

[@martinz5322]

Hello, did you try to make the repair at the rear door? I have the same issue with my rear right door

[@mercedesrepairs4833]

Hi, unfortunately I didn't do a rear door. Sure you can remove panel and make a simular solution

[@user-og6jd8qi4e]

Rear door can modified ？？

[@praca0149]

Hi, do I have to code something with this diagnostic tool or is it enough to install a universal central locking actuator. greetings

[@mercedesrepairs4833]

Hi, no you don't have to code anything. It's just there to read and clear error codes. Basically just showed that once the fault is there you can clear the error message that's stored on cars computer. You can do the rest and should work fine. Always good practice to disconnect car bat before working on anny wiring Let me know if you came right. Couple of people did it also and works perfect. Hope you come right👍🏼

[@praca0149]

@@mercedesrepairs4833 Thanks for the answer. The actuator has already been replaced with a universal, everything was as it should be and money was saved.

Hi great video - my problem is with the passenger side rear door!! will the actuator still fit ok? thanks in advance

[@iltown]

Did you do the same procedure as the guy done in his video because I have the same problem like yourself. Did you buy off the market or the original part ?

[@sharol6336]

Hi.. Ive tried the driver side door.. Cut both wire and connect it but still not working.. It just open n not close.. I switch the wire it just close and can't open.. Only two wires for the driver side door? Or? Tnx

[@mercedesrepairs4833]

Hi Shahrol, sorry to hear you having trouble. All other people that did this and Followed the video came right. You might have other problems then. I would start by testing the individual door lock and apply 12V to it, should either lock or unlock. Then reverse polarity by swoping wires around it should then do the opposite (unlock or lock) this should confirm your door lock you baught is OK. If door lock you baught is fine make sure you connected to the exact same wires as I did on the video (gray black and gray blue) . If it still does the same then their might be an issue with the actual door controller. If you connect it and press close on your remote and it opens then just reverse wires and should work correct. Hope you come right

[@mercedesrepairs4833]

Just thinking now, your remote might also not be working properly. Try locking and unlocking your car from inside with the door panel connected and pressing on door lock and unlock. Just to eliminate issues on your remote if anny

[@sc225]

How long you have this actuator last ? Thanks

[@mercedesrepairs4833]

Hi there, both doors working still since I did it.

[@DannyM]

My driver door actuator stopped working does this kit work on driver side too?

[@mercedesrepairs4833]

Sorry for the late reply, yes I did both driver and passenger door. Driver door first then passenger door after few months as the same thing happened with that lock. Seems like a common problem with these W204's. Fix still works on both doors

[@tonyl3391]

The anti theft lock doesn't work with this fix. With the original actuator you hear that lock as a clunk after the button moves up or down.

[@chriscunningham1722]

Anti theft lock? Do you mean a deadlock?

Where to order ???

[@mercedesrepairs4833]

Hi, i bought mine locally, not sure where you from so you can buy from ebay or locally near you. check link below www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=uneversal+doorlock+motor&_sacat=0

[@TankaChin]

Where did buy locally in South Africa?

[@jenniferpazvivar2035]

At 12:43 what is that wire called?

[@bradleypetersen6871]

It's a cable to release the door handle. Just take care when removing this as there is a plastic part that can break that will prevent you from opening the door from inside.
