[MBZ] 124 Ignition Lock Cylinder
Eldest son says ignition is getting sketchy, whereas he has to jiggle the key to get the cylinder to turn. I wasn't aware that lock cylinders acted up in the 124s. Should we be ordering a replacement from the Q before it totally fails?

Re: [MBZ] 124 Ignition Lock Cylinder
I replaced mine last year - the good news is, it's not a difficult job - everything went exactly like the directions said. I made a tool from an old metal coat hanger and that did the trick - I had tried using a jumbo paper clip but it must not have been strong enough as the coat hanger worked easily. Got mine from Rusty with a new key to match the original key after I provided my title and photo ID. Price was very reasonable as usual...

Re: [MBZ] 124 Ignition Lock Cylinder
I have done them on 123s and 126s, but never had a 124 that required one. I suspect that's because most of the 124s I owned were fairly new and low mileage. That's why I asked, since my memory did not have me recalling ever doing it on a 124... I already printed out the "cartoon" from the manual just to be sure I remembered how to do it. I may even have the wire in my tool box - I kept all the special tools I made for my various cars over the years.

Re: [MBZ] 124 Ignition Lock Cylinder
I will say that according to him it went downhill rapidly. I moved his car yesterday to install a new stereo and used the valet key. I didn't seem to have any problems with it, but then again, I don't drive it that often so my point of reference might not be that good. He seemed to think I did something to the car when I replaced the stereo as it started acting up on him yesterday. He says that he has the "touch" down already to the point where it's not giving him any problems. Rusty suggested leaving the key in the ignition whenever possible to cut down on any movement of the pins. Since he has the valet key he's going to do that. I don't see someone breaking into his car around here (it's parked on a quiet residential street) or at work where it's in clear view of the employees and their security cameras. I'm sure it will last until the "package" arrives, and he's been told to be as gentle with it as possible.

If you can, pull the cylinder and look at the projection on the back of the cylinder that activates the mechanism and look down into the hole to see what is activated. You should be able to tell easily if a screwdriver would work. You can even try one. That said, the problems with had with our W123 was the actual lock cylinder. Getting a new one from Rusty fixed the problem.

Re: [MBZ] 124 Ignition Lock Cylinder
It's the lock cylinder -- mine went from catching one day to immobile the next, and fortunately I was able to shake it to turn that one last time. Swapped in the one from the wrecked car, it's a very easy job when the key turns. A real hassle (four hours when you know what you are doing and a couple hundred dollars in parts) if it won't turn.

Re: [MBZ] 124 Ignition Lock Cylinder
Indy said keep ignition in first notch (where radio will play) since just keeping key in lock won't gaurantee that it will turn. Not sure about newer cars.

Re: [MBZ] 124 Ignition Lock Cylinder
I'd say pull the lock cylinder now, and then _I think_ you can use a screw driver to operate the car.

Re: [MBZ] 124 Ignition Lock Cylinder
I did. Works great!THey all wear out... Eldest son says ignition is getting sketchy, whereas he has to jiggle the key to get the cylinder to turn. I wasn't aware that lock cylinders acted up in the 124s. Should we be ordering a replacement from the Q before it totally fails?

Re: [MBZ] 124 Ignition Lock Cylinder
I used a small allen out of my balldriver set of allen wrenches. (bondhus) A few seconds job with the right tool and if you catch it before it really hangs up. Then, if you can't get lucky and have a tool such as a vibrating sander work its "magic," it could be an $800-$900 stealer cutting job.

I made a tool from an old metal coat hanger and that did the trick - I had tried using a jumbo paper clip but it must not have been strong enough as the coat hanger worked easily. Got mine from Rusty with a new key to match the original key after I provided my title and photo ID. Price was very reasonable as usual...
