The topic is mega old, so I will write a minor update ... due to the fact that I have a w211, a faulty flap and a love for DIY, once I dismantled the lock as in the topic (I do not have a serial number at hand, but more precisely the one with two yellow and red lines) and after a few h shaking the teeth and looking at them, I understood the principle of operation of this lock, and thanks to this I found the cause of the lock breaking down and I am able to help in repair.
