I just replaced the cylinder in my '83 300D, before I got to the point of no return. Everytime I look at the brass filings in the recess where the lock is I fear that the pins are nearly gone, after all, at nearly 250K miles it has had a lotta use!
Gave $70 to the dealer for peace of mind.
Man what a difference! Plus a new key! it's nice to have to NOT worry any more
Now I have to worry about the '71 220, and the '79 300TD and the other cars
