Need Help Broken Door Lock Cylinder On W202

[040mercedes]

Sorry, I ran a search but found nothing of this sort. The lock cylinder on my driverside door is broken. I was in a hurry to leave the car and I tried to lock it with the key (no keyless entry) but turned it to the unlock position. I then quickly turned it to the lock position and heard a pop. Didn't think anything of it because the doors locked. Then when I got back to the car to unlock it, I stuck the key in and turned the lock but nothing happened. The key just turned back and fourth without anything happening. Now I have to unlock and lock the car from the trunk or the passenger side like a damn loser. Car is a 95 c280 with no keyless entry as stated.

Does anyone no how to fix this problem or pop the door handle/lock cylinder out to look at it?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There is a 3mm allen at the end of the door that must be backed-off to remove that "tumbler"... Most of the time a small rolled split-pin falls out.

Thanks for the reply. That bolt is located just inside the door where the latch is? No need to take the door panal off correct?

I got home today to have a look at the car. I was searching for the allen screw, but could not find one at the end of the door for the tumbler. There are two screws however for the striker (latch I guess). I went ahead and took the door panel off (shockingly easy) to have a look but still cannot see anything.

Take a close look under the seal.
