Factory Service Manual?

[jh225]

Anyone know where I can find a HARD COPY of the factory service manuals for a 2000 E430?

I searched this forum and online and can only find the CD/DVD versions. I want the actual paper books as I have had for all of my cars.

I have some of them in paper form, like the diagnostic manuals for the 606 engine and the climate control system, but most of them are just not available.

Get the DVD from the factory.

Bently had the contracting rights for MB manuals after MB stopped publishing
their own. Right about 1998, Bently dropped out when MB went exclusively
to DVD. Thereafter, you're left to flip through Chilton, Clymer, Haynes, etc
....which naturally, do not contain nearly the detail the factory manuals do.

So the DVD is just like the paper version?

Do those DVD's seen on Egay have identical info as the factory or are they crap?

[Matt L]

They might have identical information. They are likely to be pirated disks.

You can order the factory DVD by calling 1-800-FOR-MERC.
