  • The notorious Mercedes nasty plastic issue - simple cheap replacement of the steering wheel buttons (new ones from AliExpress).
    Makes such a difference - makes the car showroom fresh :)
    REMEMBER !!! ................ DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT (PREFERABLY OVERNIGHT) BEFORE TOUCHING AN AIRBAG !!
    .........
    At Drivenmad, we repair, maintain and upgrade vehicles in our workshop, here in the sunny Algarve, Portugal.
    Having hundreds of kilometres of dirt roads, dirt tracks and various hills with ruts on our doorstep, we venture out and test our 4x4’s to the limit (our limit, not theirs  )
    When we can get one, we will slip in a vehicle review, along with some product testing - who does not want to know which tyre stops the best ?
    So subscribe and join our journey as we modify, test and improve our cars in as many ways as possible.

    Thanks for the video, Mercedes puts everything together quite strangely,,, I also had sticky control buttons. Ordered 2 new ones, I was able to disassemble everything without breaking anything using pliers... Finally I placed my new buttons and tried to clean the old and sticky buttons with TINNER on a cloth and wiped everything off neatly received, the old buttons are also as new and usable again.

      It seems an odd plastic blend in those years :)

    Great to hear it’s not just me with sticky buttons! My 2007 R320CDI buttons have almost melted.

    Good to see the old boy has still got enough back pressure to sticky up his buttons. The days of Mrs S's milk monsters getting a good spraying of man moisturiser is long gone.

    I would be rich if I had a cent for every time Nataniel said it was sticky 😂😂

      @@DrivenMadShow lol....
      Yes that would definitely not have been a good idea especially as Naths head was right next to the airbag and they inflate around
      200 MPH!
      A good job still though guys, well done.
      Stefano

    我的B170停放了4年之久,这种类肤材质非常烦人,非常黏糊,采纳了其视频的清洁方法(橄榄油+酒精),成功去除了表面的黏稠物质,同时也去除了个别按键上的功能标识,可能是用了高浓度酒精造成的,看到这个视频可以考虑自己动手更换一组新的按键了。感谢。

    My sprinter was just like this, if only I had known - where did you get the buttons (or did I miss that)

    Hate working with the airbag, no clue why, just makes me nervous.

    You would think the replacement would be complete so you don't have to muck around taking the plastic backing plate of the old one..... Bloody plastic Rubbish...

      Now the sunroof has gone tits up 😭 I love the car, but for a full Merc serviced car, its riddled with faults
