I have a similar era Mercedes C220. My key does not turn the ignition tumbler. I guess you drilled into where the keyhole was? How deep did you drill? How did you remove the ignition tumbler after that? Thanks for taking time to help a desperate Mercedes owner.

You deserve more likes on this people are ridiculous. Many cases where this is indeed the last resort for a DIYer or even locksmith. Derpy people, great video and cool drill!
My boss at the shop says his dewalt 1/2" drive high torque impact wrench lasted longer through rigorous use than makita and milwaukee which pissed me off because they're all I ever bought lol I do think they're normally better tho just Dewalt has a few killer killer products

I had to do the same thing to a 2010 Chevy Equinox. Some lowlife tried to steal my sister's car screwed up the ignition lock cylinder so I had to drill it out replaced it working like new.

Thanks Derek, this is an old vid and in hind-sight I would have went back in an edited them all together but... it has helped a few people do a rather odd job. Yeah, that drill is a work-horse. Cheers man!

[weeverob]

all i see is drill drilling with no lock removed. what did you end up doing, taking it to your local Mercedes dealer?

[Josepadillamondragon]

For all the dislikes they obviously never had their cars stolen where the ignition gets messed up this is only way to fix it lol

[poopsicle]

I accidentally went to deep and now the end won’t fit in

[macfarland]

Sorry, never edited this one...however all info is good and it worked. I am driving this car today.

You didn't finish the job I guess it didn't work

[reckless]
