does anyone know why the boot of my b class wont open and also the rear washer does not work

 

The most likely problem is the hose has disconnected from the rear spray head, the solution then sprays inside the rear hatch onto the door electronics.

any idea how to get the boot open to fix it???

 

Sure enough today my boot would not open and low and behold the water pipe had become dislodged. Will let you know of the outcome

 

I'm having the same problem! Did anyone figure out a way to fix this?

 

Glue the washer hose to the spray pipe.

Thanks Bill

I should have been more specific though, the hose was the easy part, but now the boot is not opening. No response at all when trying to open it. I was wondering if anyone had experience with that part. Whether it is fried electronics, or is there some DIY job I can do on it?

Cheers

 

Opening it, dead easy, repairing it, costly. lower the back seats and climb in . at the base of the door there is a small "hole" that allows access to the catch,with a torch and a long thin screw driver look into the "hole" and you will see a small red catch. With the screw driver slide the catch to one side or the other and bingo. The downside is that the water hose has allowed water access to the electrics which will have become damaged and need replacing. No short cuts, cost £95 ish plus labour. Mercedes are aware of the problem and allowed me 50% discount but I still found it cheaper ( a lot cheaper ) by buying the parts and having it fitted elsewhere. A spot of super glue on the hose at point of contact will help it stay put. Hope all this helps. Mike

 

Thanks alot Mike, that's a great help

 

My boot is stuck also... Someone mentioned purchasing parts and then getting it fitted - Works out cheaper....
Any ideas what parts i need to buy?
Thanks
