Hello Allan I dunno about the W116, but I do know about the W123 valet lock.
It is a keyway and a key - nothing else. The valet key will not unlock the trunk. Will unlock the driver's door and the ignition key switch. Keyway on driver's door and ignition lock are wedge-shaped, wider at the entry than at the tip, and may appear quite worn. They're not. They're made that way. Keyway on trunk is narrow and fits the regular key. Valet key will not enter it. Lock the trunk with the regular key, give the valet the valet key. He can't unlock the trunk. He can of course break in. He can lock/unlock the driver's door and the ignition key switch. Hope this is of some use. It is all true. I found out by doing my homework the hard way. I have a valet key for my car, bought from the Benzes, and it wasn't easy to do that. It's somewhere.
