Ok, then I will just put it inside the antenna ring like the rest of you guy and move it away from the actual cylinder so my new key doesn't interfere.

It's not enough to have it on the same keyring as the new key?

Re: Mounting start button on old S70?

I have another problem in my S70, the immobilizer never sleeps, so my antenna ring is always illuminated. That might be the cause of my IMMOB fault and start/fail cycle, and Im pretty confident of that. In my car, its start, stall. Count to three, start again, and drive away. Sounds odd but yeah, i...

Re: Mounting start button on old S70?

On a 1999, the ECM will not like having the key in constant proximity to the antenna, and might give a code for this. Its a non CEL code, so you won't see it, but you might get a start stall cycle, followed by a successful start and run cycle after that. There is no other reason to think you new ke...

Mounting start button on old S70?

So I recently swapped my lock cylinder to one I got at the scrap. I taped my old key behind the antenna so I didn't have to program my "new" keys. Now I'm thinking, would it be possible to hook up a start button in case my new key starts having problem starting the car. Do anyone have a sc...

Re: DIY: 1998 S70 GLT Ignition Tumbler FREE Fix!

Funny story. About two years ago I seeked help in this thread regarding the lock. I never ended up replacing it, instead I opened the "lock box" with a dremel like this thread suggested. The Wheel lock was disabled, but it solved my "key spinning 360 degrees" issue. In Sweden we ...

Re: 1998 S70 Which Manual Transmission [gear] Oil to use?

Hi, I happen to have this oil: http://www.mpmoil.nl/products/index.php?id=2,35&product=16000MB7&language=en as I was about to change the oil on my Mercedes automatic gearbox. Then I sold the car before I did it, so I have about 10 liters of this stuff. Now I need to replace the oil in my Vol...

Re: SRS Light On S70 t5

Borrowing this thread. On my S70 -99 the SRS light tends to light on for a few seconds when I start the car and then it turns off again. Is this some indicator that something is wrong? I have checked error codes but haven't found anything.
