5 out of 5 stars Mercedes Benz Technical Companion   November 16, 2008
Excellent companion for your stock manual if you are capable of doing work in your car. Talks about all types of Benz models including older cars.


5 out of 5 stars Great Book   September 30, 2008
This is a great book to have while working on my 1969 280. This book comes in handy quite a few times.


2 out of 5 stars Mercedes-Benz Technical Companion   August 7, 2008
This is truly a hit or miss bunch of articles for all Mercedes cars. Don't buy if you want absolute information on what your working on. It has how to's specific to different models on many issues. Then it has tons of forum questions and answers. It's the cheapest book with any real info, they should rewrite it per model.


4 out of 5 stars Mercedes-Benz Technical Companion   April 7, 2008
I recommend this book to Mercedes owners that do DIY work or to those who want to know how their Mercedes works.I found Mercedes-Benz Technical Companion to be a good wealth of helpful DIY information on many aspects of the Mercedes car. The book deals with various popular Mercedes models
The book appears to cover those areas and car component that commonly fail, need attention or service, and provides information that helps a mercedes owner to better understand, maintain and repair his Mercedes.

This manual has been very helpful for general task involved in maintaining and restoring my Mercedes. I own a 1987 300 SDL Turbo Diesel and this manual deals with certain common problems and solutions for my car needs. I do wish it was more targeted at the specific car I have, which is the only reason it gets four stars.
