S500 W220 Help

Okay, I’ll start somewhere, now I’ve been reading other post about my issues, and it seems that the w220 has its fair share of the same issues,PSE PUMP, Air leaks, and air shocks, are a few.

So I’ll give my issues; (I really need some help)

1.Doors will not lock
2. back head rest will not go down
3. cluster went out -completely
4. the trunk will not open, via key fob or key or
door switch
5. Battery dead- ( I’ve learned from YouTube
How to jump from the passenger….)
6. before I could start the car and it would rise up.
Now I start it and it stays lowered. (This has
baffled me)
7. I ordered aftermarket headlights was working
Fine now only onside works.
8. (last one) need to do head gaskets, what are
the specs for the torque wrench?

Get yourself an installation of WIS/EPC. You'll need it. It has the torque specs for every single bolt inside of the car, next to all the part numbers for every single part of this car

Let's not ruin the joy of the TS by telling that it's impossible to fix it.
