Introduction
If, like mine, the key head is broken and the key is therefore somewhat impractical to use, these instructions can help you.
What you need
-
-
In my case, the original cast key head tore and is therefore no longer stable, which made it somewhat impractical to use.
-
-
-
In the first step we need to remove the old potted key head. This works best with a sharp knife (cutter knife)
-
-
-
-
Now we take the new key head and insert the key.
-
If it's a bit difficult to get in, you can press down with something flat, like a slotted screwdriver.
-
-
-
If your key, like mine, is not straight but semi-circular, the fastening wedge must be adjusted. See Figures 2 and 3 for this
-
-
-
Now we are at the last step and it is very simple. Because you only have to insert the fastening wedge and the key head renewal is complete

Hello, I just wanted to mention this for anyone who wants a more permanent solution for the key. I always have problems with this key blanks breaking so i ended up finding someone who mills out a Metal key blank for the w123. They started selling them on eBay and are solid. I've had one for about 4 years with no issues. I'll add the link as a comment for anyone who wants one. I apologize for the weird looking link. I had to use a link shortener in order to fit it all in one comment.
