    Great video. Very good explanations. Thank you 🙏
    I have a S320 CDI and the same issues with the trunk.

    Amazing that some electrical tape fixed this. So many other videos show hot glue or epoxy to seal that air bladder. Its almost worth doing in advance as a maintenance item to prevent the failure of the device in the first place which is much easier to do as a planned task rather than an emergency fix

    That part is the exact opposite of the overbuilt cooling fan, shroud, and motor on the w220!

      Yeah... This feels like it should be a service item the way it's designed. Fine for years but definitely has an expiration date.

    What about the collapsible trunk handle over the license plate ? It is driven by vacuum and is not working on your car

    • @frenchineer

      Since this is a pre-facelift car, it doesn't have the retractable handle. They added it with the facelift (except on cars with the power closing trunk).

    clam it together and put epoxy quick setting from harbor freight tool and keep it to dry about 2 hours

      I think that would work too!
