headlight wipers

Post by brad360 »

Are the headlight wipers unique to the 340/360?

Or can you use ones from a 240 or something?

Not just the wiper blades, the whole thing I mean, motor, wiper arm etc.

Mine doesn't have them and is missing one black plastic thing on the hole where they would go.

Are the black plastic hole stoppers the same as a 240 or anything else?

How about the heated seats?

Can you upgrade non-heated to be heated?

erm seats will probably need replacing if they aren't heated, but they probably were heated (never seen a 300 without) - they just break. alot.

wiper - probably not, but i've not seen the 240 one - the 300 one is attatched to the headlight - common as muck over here :)

The only ever non heated seat I've seen is in my car! It's a GLT trim drivers seat, no lumbar support or heated seat element! Who knows why it was probably replaced?!

Yeah the wiper arms in the UK were standard I believe, however I've noticed in the different country specs many countries left them off and they were an extra.

The motors are standard on almost all the models, but I'm fairly sure the arms and blades are unique. They're certainly different on 240s and 940s.

The seats probably are heated, but before a certain date there was no switch (only a thermal switch), and they probably don't work any more. Is there a wire linking the drivers seat to the loom? If so, you've got heated seats. The passenger side has a sensor for the seatbelt warning too, but the drivers one only has the heater wires (if fitted).

I suspect a seat swap (and retrim?!) Pete...

cheers
