Random coverage, 27 Dec 2006
By M. McGee - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mercedes-Benz Technical Companion (Bently Automotive Reference) (Paperback)
I would have given this 1 star but they did a good job organizing and presenting this collection of articles. The articles cover specific procedures for specific models, with some summary information and tables for a range of years and models. It is hit or miss (mostly miss in my case) that your vehicle will have a repair procedure that you need. If you don't happen to have the vehicle that they have covered in an article provided in the book, it is not much use to you. Example: cruise control problem? They cover the repair of a cruise control actuator for a '85 300SD. That's it. No other info on cruise controls. Just the repair of a specific component for one model.
I think you would do better to spend the money on joining the Mercedes Benz Club of America and using the technical forums and database of technical articles.
Good, well written articles. There is some value to the chapter summaries but not worth the price for the chance that a procedure you want to read about is going to be included.

Almost Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Your Benz, 3 Aug 2005
By William R. Chermak "Lone Star Bill" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mercedes-Benz Technical Companion (Bently Automotive Reference) (Paperback)
Over the last year I became a Mercedes enthusiast, buying four older Benz. This book was a godsend to me. It has already paid for itself in guiding me through simple repairs that would have been rather expensive had I gone to a shop or, heaven forbid, a MB dealer.
The book is essentially a compilation of how-to and informative articles from Star Magazine. All classes are covered with emphasis on the more classic and popular classes, i.e. the older 190's, the diesels, and all the SL's.
The book is divided into various segments, such as chassis, engines, accessories. There are more finite divisions within each category. The downside is you have to scan the first page of each section to find your model, as all models are covered within each segment.
The book is well illustrated and very thorough. You can learn about simple maintenance or you can be guided through an engine rebuild.
If you're serious about being on top of maintenance and repair of your Benz, or just plain curious about German engineering, this book will serve you well.

Okay collection of odds and ends..., 9 Aug 2007
By Eric B. Haulenbeek "mac guy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mercedes-Benz Technical Companion (Bently Automotive Reference) (Paperback)
Lots of information here, especially for diesel owners, though nothing of any real value for a 560 SL guy. There doesn't seem to be any logic to the way this book was catalogued/organized.
Listmania!
