Re: R230 Central Locking

I am experiencing analogous problems with my R230 SL. The vehicle was functioning properly, with the central locking, boot soft shut, and roof operational, until a fuse blew.

Re: R230 Central Locking

The issue was the problematic 20-amp fuse located beneath the driver's seat; thank you. I have substituted it and will install a 25-amp fuse in the future as recommended by other members. To get this fuse, I had to open the locker lid, necessitating the application of brute force and a screwdriver. ...

Re: R230 Central Locking

I reconstructed and evaluated the pump approximately 12 months ago and encased it in plastic to maintain its dryness; therefore, I anticipate it will be functional. I am awaiting a slight improvement in the weather before commencing the disassembly, as it is quite cold in the North. I have observed ...

Re: R230 Central Locking

Inspected the varioroof; it is non-functional. The issue may be linked to the pump in the trunk. Is this fused or does it incorporate a relay? Kindly provide the fuse/relay number and its location.

R230 Central Locking

All was functioning properly with the central locking system until the onset of the cold snap. My SL350 was exposed to the elements for several days and became thoroughly frozen. Subsequently, when attempting to unlock with the key fob, there was no response. Utilised the emergency key to access the...

Re: The Vito W447 fails to start following a collision.

The vehicle fails to crank entirely; I am enquiring whether the fuel cut-off switch would allow it to crank or not.

The Vito W447 fails to start following a collision.

I sustained an accident in my 2015 Vito W447. The battery is functional, yet the vehicle does not start or attempt to power over; only the ignition lights illuminate. I have replaced the pyro fuse. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Should the vehicle start with the airbag lights activated?
