Hi

Will an interior (seats, door panels and armrest) from a facelift 210 wagon fit in a pre-facelift 210 wagon?

A guy with a 97 model may be interested in my old 01 model interior.

for the most part, no, they're not interchangeable (ie PnP) but!.....

note this effort

Semikolon

pnp?

what differences are there?

I know steering wheels are different due to controls in the post face lift models starting in 06/99 and same is true with the gauge cluster being different. The shifters are also different. I am sure there is more.

I have owned both 98 model and 01 model and know the visual and technical upgrades, but I just want to know if the door panels, seats and center armrest will fit, as I stated in the first post, without problems..

you know who might know is SteveK, since he specializes in OEM upgrades
and retrofits. email him on this. let us know what he says as this may come
up again. (sorry, PnP meant "plug and play" computer term)

I just emailed Wanda about some parts last week and haven't got an answer about that yet, so they are probably busy at the moment.. I'll ask her when I get an answer if noone have answered it here by then

but now i'm tired.. good night everybody

LOL...i was thinking "hey!.....shouldn't he be in bed by now ??"

raymond aren't the seats you added to your car from a post-facelift 210?

I would think the door cards and seats should be pretty similar.

raymond g-

omg!....am I the ultimate idiot or what?! i may have confused 'facelift' 210
with w211 !! illest may have just picked up a 2x4 and whacked
me upside the head. well, we'll wait to see what Wanda/Steve says.

doc has been prescribing new heart meds but it's making me woozy more
than i like. dosage cut in half so hopefully i'll not post stoopid advice

model update - pre modelupdate...as long as it is W210 it fits in any W210...same goes for S210...

the rear seats for S and W are different but besides that you can swap around whatever you want to swap around...and you can even install the MF steering wheel with IC in a pre modelupdated 210 without too much hassle.

greetingz,

raymond g-

sweeet, tnx for confirming, Steve

here are facelift seats from E55 stuffed into my 99 E320

(aplogies to semi for giving him whiplash)

Hello,

I'm looking for advice regarding my 1996 W210 E320 Petrol, I would like to know what is required as part of a strip and fit process to enable and facilitate heated memory seats, rear blind and automatic boot from a 1998 E300 Turbo Diesel.

Any guidance is sincerely appreciated please.

Thanking you,

Ravinder

Not easy to say since you've not identified the features on the car you're trying to fit the parts into.

Memory/heated seats require new console trim, locate heater button, electrical wiring to fit the heated seats (if not already on your car)

Rear blind is an electric, I believe. I dont have experience with that

The boot/trunk remote open is air operated. The pump is the 'pneumatic systems equipment' pump which fits under the rear seat.
Mercedes systems computer must be docked with your car via the round electric communications port in the engine bay and set
for it to recognize this feature. Piping will need to be routed from the pump into the trunk and it is possible a new, latch system
will need to be fitted in order to operate via the air system.

Not having done any of these projects, I'm not a good person to assist other than in a very general fashion. Additionally, it is
possible that since you have a first year w210 model, it may or may not be possible. There may be model specific differences
which make these modifications more challenging.

wishing you success

Having the whole donor car will make this easier.

Dear Raymond,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have decided to keep my early pre-facelift W210 as original, and just enjoy it for what it it.

I have since purchased a facelift W210 Year 2000 E320, without heated memory seats.



As per the Pdf file to retrofit the rear blind, are you aware of a similar document available to retro fit heated memory seats.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Very best wishes,

Ravinder

I did check the MB WIS/EPC dvd disk earlier and did NOT find anything under "retrofit". That one is a little
trickier and will need someone with a little more insight as to whether the w210 harness to the front seats
already come with the wiring (but unconnected). With some features, this is the case and it would be a
relatively easy modification, for example, adding CD player, adding rear window blind, adding analog
cellular phone. I believe the existing wiring is already in place when the w210 left the factory.

What I don't know is whether front seat heater wiring is already there...making it less difficult, though you
would still face the challenge of wiring in the console switch, finding the console wood paneling, locating
the seats, etc. Those are important questions for the owner wishing to add heated seats.

Separately, I only had standard heated seats but wanted the MB seats with air bladder pillows. That
required replumbing with additional air hoses, air control switch module and car system reprogramming
to introduce the PSE pump to the control/feature. So this is one example of knowing what is in the car
or what is needed.

The folks who specialized in this haven't been around MBWorld in some time (SteveNL and Sunil). They
were EXPERTS in retrofitting MB with MB parts. If anyone knows of another brain or resource out there
let us know and we'll see if we can put folks in touch with them through this forum.

Thank you Raymond,

The vehicle that I am now upgrading is a year 2000 facelift E320 Elegance which currently has grey cloth interior with semi electric seats.

I also have the donor Car which is a 1998 E300 TurboDiesel with heated memory seats and rear blind.

If there is any guidance available regarding the installation of heated memory seats, and the associated modification to the ECU's in order to function as required that would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanking you.

Yours sincerely,

Ravinder

Dear Ravinder,
Did you manage to solve it?
I’m in a similar situation where I wish to put my full memory leather interior from a pre-facelift in my facelifted E320cdi.
thanks,
