The best non-manufacturer issued manual for your Benz
2011/7/17
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
Don't bother with less expensive manuals for your vehicle servicing - just get a Haynes. For owner-performed maintenance, and even some major repairs, this is the best commercial manual available for the money. Want to get into it a little deeper (as in electrical schematics and fault diagnosis)? Then put out $400 or more for the dealer's manual set. Otherwise, Haynes always come through for the gal or guy with some mechanical ability and who is willing to get their hands dirty.

Haynes equals Chilton. And they're not as good as they used to be

This manual is identical in content to the Chilton manual for the same car. Apparently one of them bought the other, which is too bad. I bought both, hoping to have two different takes on the same car, but unlike the old days when Chilton and Haynes were independent, all it got me was the same content in two different layouts.
As with most of these manuals these days, it's a lot better than nothing, but still lacking in detail. The Haynes manuals' trademark "Based on a complete teardown and rebuild" is either a lie, or true for someone other than the people who actually wrote the manual, or true, but they didn't take very good notes when they did it.
Would have been nice, for example, if this manual had pointed out prominently that to work on this car you need a set of inverse torx (by inverse, I mean that the bolt head looks like the business end of a giant torx screwdriver) sockets and, if they exist, wrenches. This car uses those fastener heads rather than standard hex heads. Worse than annoying.
The only repair I've attempted so far was to remove the EGR valve, and I abandoned the effort partly for lack of a standard wrench to get on some of those fasteners. My socket didn't have clearance to fit.
While I'm at it, avoid these cars if you want to work on it yourself. Besides using those reverse torx bolt heads, it seems like they deliberately put things around the EGR valve to prevent access, including a bracket for the transmission filler tube that didn't need to be where it was. ALSO, when you remove the air intake housing, the cap for that filler tube falls off. I think the manual may say to remove the cap before removing the housing, but they don't show you where it is: it's a small red cap, about a half inch diameter, hiding up against the firewall behind the air intake assembly.

Best $20 I ever spent.

Upon its first day of arrival the book saved me over $1200 in dealer fees by assisting me in a belt change, spark plug change, fuel filter change, and brake change. Its got tons of information in it. I would consider myself pretty handy, Im not a certified mechanic or anything, but handy none-the-less, and this book gives me the extra confidence I need to get any job done on my mercedes. After all, to most of us, these german engineered vehicles can be a bit intimidating when it comes to working on them, but this book gets you over that pretty quick. Hell, its nice to have just for the bolt torque ratings alone. The book has all steps written out fairly clearly if your somewhat handy, and pictures to assist. The pictures arent exactly exhaustive, but they are enough to get the job done. There is always room for improvement, and this book certainly isnt for experienced mechanics, but for a DIYer looking to save a serious amount of money servicing their own benz, then Buy it, you wont be dissapointed.
