RE: MB Sevice Library CD Index

Hi MLB,

I just bought a 2-CD "copy" of the manuals. The first disk works fine, but the second stalls my system and seems to have the exact same content as the first. What is the difference between disks one and two?

thanks,

Andrew

I have copies I bought and copies that were given to me, among the four disks I manage to get some info. It does sound like a good deal.

the first disc containts information for some of the 126s the 2nd for the rest. I think the 1st is for 1st gen and 2nd for 2nd...I think

RE: MB Sevice Library CD Index

Hi Andrew,

Sounds like some of the data on the second CD is corrupted? That was true of some bootleg copies I purchased off an ebay seller.

As I'm sure you are aware, I got a second set from MB Classic Center.

One of the differences between Disc 1 & Disc 2 is the Inline engine PDFs reside in CD1, while the V engines are on CD 2. I've not devoted much time comparing the two discs though..

Cheers, MBL

MBL,

I probably bought the same corrupted discs - get what you paid for. Anyway, it looks like disc 1 covers most of the day to day issues.

RE: MB Sevice Library CD Index

I have my own thread wrt to the 500 SE W126 repair manual I'm seeking...thought I'd share this info with you all, and ask for your opinion as to whether or not the sky is being offered with this repair manual on CD, and whether it's a reasonable price.

It's located at Ebay.com...I'm following this item.

RE: MB Sevice Library CD Index

If you cant get the WIS to work, its a good reference manual.

I bought mine for $20 (AUD) which is substantially less than what they want.

I had problems installing it on my old computer but it went on OK on my new computer (both running XP so go figure!).

It is what the MB workshops use and is pretty comprehensive but takes a while to learn to use.

I've also got the MBUSA service manuals and find myself going to them first usually (MBL got them for me - thanks).

Cheers

RE: MB Sevice Library CD Index

I bought copies from Ebay UK ( 2 CD's) They are the same as the one Kingorcus posted on this fourm 8/24/2005 - http://mb.braingears.com
You don't have to buy the Service Libary. Just cut & paste the above website - alls there.
I also have 2 DVD's spare parts, but having problems installing them on the computer. Anyone have these?

I checked the website, but no 500 SE model. (That's my problem here....always 500 SEL listed in manuals, but nothing on 500 SE....)

What do you suggest? Naturally, I only wanna buy it if the engine numbers are the same for the 500 SEL? (My engine number is 11796512027455.)

The good thing about the ebay listed sale for the CD-Rom is that 500 SE is listed, although, yes, I agree, it's a little pricey.

Any thoughts, folks?

[?][?]

(While writing, I'll e-mail Braingears.com and ask them whether the 500 SEL CD manual is compatible -- my one hang up with contacting such companies is their snail-pace speed in replying -- I have yet to receive a reply from MBUSA -- asked last week. [:(!][V]

RE: MB Sevice Library CD Index

I just checked the braingears.com site and it seems the link is a lemon...no downloads available (It's a dead link. [:0]) The other prob is that the first few digits of the engine numbers for the 500 SEL and 500 SEC listed are 117963, and not 117965. [:0], and my 1989 500 SE is the latter.

All there is is a link to MBUSA. OK, I'm back to having to get a response from them. I really hope I can get this sorted out. [:(]

Peeps, any views on the Ebay purchase I might indulge in?
