MB Quattro Central locking pump fitting

oliverjl · 22-09-18, 09:56 AM

Does anyone happen to have a diagram or photo of how the central locking pump and air reservoir (I assume that's what it is??) fits into the inner rear quarter on an MB Ur Quattro? Mine has been removed from the space and I can't work out how it should sit!
Many thanks in advance..

The pump sits in a tray that bolts into the inner wing space below the fuel filler neck. The vacuum reservoir just wedges in.

do you have a picture by any chance? I'd better dig through my parts and see where the bracket/tray is!

Thanks

Ironically, the one in the Rallycar looks different and is foam padded and wedged in the same as the reservoir.

Thanks very much for the picture, mine is different and I seem to have some wadding that goes in there somehow?!

yep, hang on, going for another photo...

Looks equally crappy... I'd guess around 1985 they gave up with the tray and just rapped it up in wadding.... You can't beat the quality can you?

That's great thanks, looks like I'm not missing anything, I'm amazed they just stuffed it in there with wadding!! One more job off the 'to-do list' now..!

That's pretty much how mine looks. Just been out to take a pic but Ian beat me to it.
I'd planned to tidy it up somehow, sometime, just not got round to deciding how.

They say some of these were parts bin cars - I guess there wasn't a bin with a solution for fixing this part down.
