Disconnect and check the battery negative first, located in the trunk,"it's the accessory battery" if it's NOT giving a minimum 12 volts the convertible top will malfunction, and please DO NOT JUMP START OR RECHARGE at 12 volts WHILE CONNECTED TO THE CAR, if you choose to recharge it while in the car use a trickle charger at 2 amp over night. If the red battery light remain present and the battery shows fully charged 12 volts, check the big fuse 100 under the 200 amp located under passenger side foot wall behind the black circle cover, remove foot wall carpet, foam, metal plate the 10 mm nuts to see the fuse cover. Good luck.

I think the M130 engine uses a timing chain. To get you timing marks set up correctly you mignt have to take the top rocker cover off to see the Cam timing marks. The Crank should be set up to the centre 'OT' mark for Top Dead Centre, (TDC). there is a set of numbered marks either side of it. The pulley is marked for both Top Dead Centre and Bottom Dead Centre, (BDC). Being a Mercedes the marks are in German. OT for TDC and UT for BDC.

I think your fuel tank vent may be plugged. When this happens again, unscrew the fuel cap on the tank and see if the car re-starts and runs. Not sure what year your 202 is...

I am not familiar with the model so I can't accurately answer your question. There has been a number of European transmissions that weren't fitted with an oil filler/level plug, some were fitted with a level plug in the integral differential/final drive housing but the transmission shouldn't be filled through these. There have also been transmissions with no drain plug. Many of these had to be drained and then refilled from the top of the casing by removing the breather or speedo drive and if no level plug was provided filling was by a measured quantity. It is advisable to obtain good model specific information before you proceed.

They have a problem with the froward gear brake drums cracking and there is a replacement/updated drum available but you would need an auto trans repairer to rebuild the transmission.

Not brake sensor but brake switch can cause that, its located behind the brake booster in the engine compartment, make when you apply brake your lights comes on, if they don't come on then you have a bad switch or a blown brake fuse and this will cause the gear lever locked in park

Hi, from what I have read, Mercedes Benz have their power steering reservoir under a plastic plenum. So you will need to remove this plenum to access the power steering reservoir. Best of luck!
