Re: [MBZ] SRS Light
Do you have a good charge in your battery? I know some cars start showing different warning lights if the charge is low. ABS will do this sometimes.

Re: [MBZ] SRS Replacement
I uploaded the airbag TSB to my website. It's a 7kb PDF file: http://www.w124performance.com/docs/mb/other/airbag_service_life.pdf It's short but worth reading if you own a Mercedes with an airbag. It's dated September 2002 so it's pretty recent information. :-) -Dave M. > -- > Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2006 16:45:34 -0600 > From: "Dave M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] SRS Replacement > > > Airbags up to 1991 are supposed to be replaced when they are 15 years > old, but I've not yet heard of "old" bags not firing.

Re: [MBZ] SRS Replacement
Airbags up to 1991 are supposed to be replaced when they are 15 years old, but I've not yet heard of "old" bags not firing. Airbags from 1992 up are designed to last the lifetime of the car - there's a TSB You mean like 'sealed-for-life' bearings? Translation: once they _do_ go bad, replacement is so expensive (or even impossible) that the car is scrap! -- Jim

First time I've seen a sticker like this - and it looked to be official MB stuff. Any thoughts? BTW, when we start the car the SRS self test light comes on - so I assume the system is armed and operable ;-) The bags have been extended twice, they are good for 20 years now (last time I checked).

The car would have been ~10 years old at that time. Does that mean the air bag *should* have been replaced then or *was* replaced then? I believe that is a _should_ sticker. Our '86 SL's have them, with a date of 96. Later DBAG revised the good lifetime estimate to be 15 years, not 10. Given the price of a replacement I'm going to operate on the 'better than nothing' principle, and assume it's still good. And continue wearing the belt! -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] SRS Replacement
Sounds like the car was in a front-end collision and the airbag was
replaced. 10 years is the recommended SRS check time, and at some point MB
USA extended the check to 15 years in the 124. Marshall will correct me if
I'm wrong.

Re: [MBZ] SRS brake fluid change
The 1987 190D-T has standard ABS brakes. Just pressure bleed as normal. The only special procedures are for cars with ASR (electronic traction control), which was only offered on gas engines from the early 90's and up. :) -dm > -- > Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 10:29:02 -0400 > From: Ron Dwelle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [MBZ] SRS brake fluid change > > My "new" 190DT has SRS brakes.
