Based on being notified of an age extension on an older MB, I have to assume
that there is an Use By date for air bags. I have seen similar stickers on my
cars. That being said, I've never heard of anyone ever replacing all of their
air bags based on their age

For the past two years Frosch has had issues with misfires. I took it to one
shop because of a club event deal. Those bozos screwed the car up because they
were not qualified to work on a Djet system. They claimed to have adjusted it

They did a crap
The w220 is very korean. #2 boy is back in the house for the summer. He got

Wanted to drain and refill the differential on the W220 (S430) so I figured I
would do it after I got home, since the differential would be nice a toasty

Wasn't there one year where they tried a seat-belt

Those aren’t the ones that include shrapnel at no additional charge, are they?
The wife’s former Mazda 6 had one of these and it got swapped out by the
stealer a couple of months ago. I understood them to be the functional
equivalent of a Claymore or Bouncing Betty in your steering wheel.

I have not tried neutral yet. I did some tracing of the circuits and I think
the thing I undid was part of the start system. At least that is what the

The seat belt interlock was 1974 only. Bad idea, as everyone either
hot-wired it and still didn't wear seat belts, or people who did often
found it necessary to hot-wire the system so they could start their
cars when it failed.

I remember this being a big thing at one point where airbags were supposed to
stop working and we were all going to die in horrible crashes.Last I heard it
turns out that nobody really knows the effective lifespan of an airbag.
If you could use it as a negotiating tactic I'd say go for it.
