Mercedes-Benz Car Parts Forum / A140 Rear Door Lock

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply, and no the latch won't lock itself up at all, hence the piece of rope temporarily holding the rear doors shut by the inner handles !!

My neighbour has ventured off to work today, so haven't had chance to talk to her since the last attempt to get the lock out.

A diagram would be great if you can get one on here.

Cheers

Dave

Mercedes-Benz Car Parts Forum / A140 Rear Door Lock

Hi There,

Need some help on a MERC if anyone can assist?

My neighbour has a Mercedes A140, and I came home to find her trying to get the rear passenger door to shut.
The actual latching mechanism would not 'latch' on the bar in the door opening.
I tried WD-40 on the lock, and manually operating it, but still no attempt to latch, it's like it's sprung open??
I tried to get the lock out of the door, but found I couldn't detach the bar that goes from the outer door handle, to the latching mechanism itself.
Does this bar disengauge from the hande end, or the lock end?
I think the handle end, and should be forced sideways, but can anyone help please?

A diagram of the assembly would be great, or at least a description on how to get the thing out of the door. (It was completely loose)

As far as I can tell the bellows for the central locking seemed to be fine - I have been told these tend to play up.

Cheers

Dave
