Left: Oversized German helmet I'll call the bezel
Center: Old ignition lock
Right: New ignition lock
Got in my car and key won't turn. Check forums and tried everything short of the vibrating sander trick. Walk over to my MB dealer and order the part.
You'll notice the same part #'s. Upon installation discovered that the circular washer like tab at the end of the old lock makes it slightly longer than the new part. New lock works without the bezel but not with. Key won't turn at all. Has anyone else encountered this?
