Youtube how to videos for W202!!

So I am sure some of you have seen the youtube videos I found for our W202's so I figured I would post them all here. Not everything on these videos is 100% correct as they are working on a C280 or something but they are close enough that I have been able to do it all with a couple extra steps (extra bolt here or there type of thing).

Removal of steering wheel & gauge cluster - http://www.youtube.com/user/lucabert.../0/K7z_AUGY4z0

Ignition tumbler removal - http://www.youtube.com/user/lucabert.../1/nkM-Z1vuaJw

radio removal, ash tray housing, climate control, crash sensor SRS - http://www.youtube.com/user/lucabert.../2/6ihdHqIISk0

central console ,cigarette light ,mirror button - http://www.youtube.com/user/lucabert.../3/LM0YOUHZJnA

Sun Roof removal PT.2 - http://www.youtube.com/user/lucabert.../5/MvsjIr4e93o

sun roof motor - http://www.youtube.com/user/lucabert.../6/Ecff3kBX02M

reassembly of the sun roof - http://www.youtube.com/user/lucabert.../4/1HuA0JW3UC8

door handle - http://www.youtube.com/user/lucabert.../7/gvDE4tcotUU

Door protector moldings - http://www.youtube.com/user/lucabert.../8/KYsr6OiDMkc

Mirror removal - http://www.youtube.com/user/lucabert.../9/aMKxea8j7E8

Door interior panel removal - http://www.youtube.com/user/lucabert...10/7J32Vl6AU6g

More helpful stuff

I found a bunch more useful info:

http://kropf.net/w202/

http://www.202tech.com/howtos.html

All of this stuff pertains to W202's the Kropf is '99 C43 specific


FINALLY!!!!! I an across a thread that detailed how to get at the gear selector display and such, between this and the WIS I was able to do it. I am posting pics in the "shift knob and selector light thread"

Here is the thread I ran across, pretty helpful.... Note: THIS IS NOT FOR THE NOVICE, IT IS DIFFICULT!!

This guy is a bot or something.... This is not the first time he has posted something that had nothing to do with the thread or even made sense.

I stole this one from another forum and think it is a good addition to the existing DIY and How Does. This one is for spark plugs and looks relatively simple albeit time consuming

Hijacked also these tips :
http://www.202tech.com/howtos.html
There is an excellent one in there regarding 'How To' read codes...
