Ok, now... WHY? This seems odd to me, electric locks are very reliaable and easy to work on - why pneumatic? And where is the air pump for them?
This REALLY bugs me - why???? Seems like the "long way around the mountain" to me. Running wires is so much easier, seems to me, anyway. But then, electronics is how I'v made a living for 28 years - so I WOULD think that.
'Cause it's a Benz. They are masters at pnuematics.
Your car was put together from Benz parts, mostly off the 320 SLK.
