Re: [MBZ] my wife did it!
The W115/W108/W109/W123/W116 cars all lock ONLY from the driver's door since that is the only place there is a valve. All cars with a single line system can be unlocked from either front door or the trunk. The key will unlock the PS and trunk on the earlier cars, but will not release the vac locks. There is a spring loaded override that will be VERY stiff with lack of use. I would suspect either the VIN got garbled or the lock set is not original (or the VIN isn't -- check the one on the radiator support vs the one on the door pillar!) Peter

FWIW, when we ordered the new lock cylinder from the local dealer (rusty couldn't get the vin coded ones at the time), the dealer did something stupid, and the car's key (which works for the glove box and trunk, as well as the doors) did not work. After finding someone with marginal intelligence behind the counter (wow, it doesn't work. are you sure this is the key that starts the car right now? yeah, car's in the parking lot, go check for yourself) the counter guy made some nasty phone calls and told me to come back in a couple of days.

Re: [MBZ] my wife did it!
All cars with a single line system can be unlocked from either front door or the trunk. Untrue, as there is an early 126 system that still only operated from the driver's door, yet was single-line. It's nasty, btw, that pump is poorly-designed and fragile. I don't know if this same system was ever in other cars of that vintage (107, 201), I do know it's _not_ in a 123. -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] my wife did it!
I tried unsuccessfully to lock/unlock all the doors from the passenger side on my '84 300D, but just thought something was defective. Are you saying that's normal? That's normal. And if you've ever been inside the doors of one of these cars (versus the later ones), _why_ will be instantly obvious. You are, however, supposed to be able to unlock the passenger side all by itself, unless the lock spring toggle mechanism is broken (as it was in the Chicken Wagon for a period of time). The advantages of the later system are legion. The only downside is when the pump fails. (Rare, unless we're talking about the evil early 126 system.) -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] my wife did it!
My 84 has a aftermarket alarm/remote lock-unlock system installed and I don't think I have ever used the key to unlock/lock it.

I'm not aware of any way to unlock from the trunk -- at least not in my W123. Locksmith?

At the same time, the central locking could be activated from BOTH sides, not just the driver's side. I don't know about 123/126s from that period (despite owning an '85 123 for several years - I simply have forgotten how many ways you could lock/unlock it).

Re: [MBZ] my wife did it!
Both of my '87 190Dt and '91 300D can unlock all the doors from the trunk. Does it work the same way on the W124 wagons?

And MY son's friend broke off his ONLY key in the door lock (1985 300D). He (son) obtained a replacement key from the dealer based on the VIN but it fits neither the front PS door (the broken key is still lodged in the driver's sdie door lock) nor the ignition. Suggestions, anyone? A tiny (!) drop of superglue on the stub, and try to fish out the original key piece. Obviously you want to be _really_ careful doing this, gluing the lock together is not the point of the exercise. From there you could get a copy cut from the piece. Does the VIN key fit the trunk? Glovebox? -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] my wife did it!
Some Mercedes (all of my 124/201s made after '84 on) can be locked/unlocked from the trunk. Not sure about a 123, but worth a try. 124/201, and later 126/107 all have the single-line unlocks-from-any-lock electric pump system. But not the 123. (Nor the 114, 115 or 116 either.) You may be able to open the trunk with the new VIN key and from there you can access the locking and unlocking vacuum hoses, but I'm not sure you can apply enough vacuum to one of them to actually open the locks due to the action of the vent orifice in the driver's-door vacuum switch. -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] my wife did it!
I tried unsuccessfully to lock/unlock all the doors from the passenger side on my '84 300D, but just thought something was defective. Are you saying that's normal?

Re: [MBZ] my wife did it!
It has a block heater installed at the factory. You just need to purchase and attach the cord.
