w123, central locking, suspension, electric window, oil filter
 

I meant to say electric MIRROR! Not electric window....

Hi there,

Just bought a w123, 230e and I have a few questions hopefully someone can help me with....

- The electric passenger mirror does not work. Any pointers to how to fix this? The fuses all look OK. No sound of motor.

- The central locking system does not work. Any good guide somewhere to try and sort this out?

- Something is not quite right with the suspension. There is a knocking sound which sounds like metal knocking into the chassis when going over bumps. I can't see anything wrong, but was wondering if some out of view 'part' that should be between either springs or shocks could be missing or worn out...?

- Looking at Eurocarparts website, there are two oil filters, with different inner diameter that comes up when I type in my registration plate. How do I know which one is the right one? Do I have to measure it or is the information written somewhere? I have the 102.980 engine.

Well I can't find anything on two different sizes of oil filter. I checked here on the Forum at "Buy Parts" at top of page and then I checked the Eastern
European EPC and don't see it either. What is the model year of your car? Was it built for the American market or is considered a Euro. Here is the EPC listing. Mercedes Benz EPC 123.000 Chassis Information | Everything Benz

OK so found the correct oil filter.
The Eurocarparts website was just not detailed enough. When I went into the shop the could tell me which one I needed. :)
