Product Description:
Technical insights on service, repair, maintenance and procedures compiled from over 45 years of The Star, the magazine of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America

Since 1956, informed Mercedes-Benz owners have relied upon The Star, the magazine of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America, for advice about maintenance, service and repair of their cars. Bentley Publishers has collected some of the best of these do-it-yourself articles and tech tips into the Mercedes-Benz Technical Companion™. No matter which Mercedes-Benz model you drive or desire, this compilation will serve as a valuable technical reference to help you understand and care for your Mercedes-Benz.

This insightful and informed technical compilation has something for the Mercedes-Benz owner, service professional and enthusiast. You will also find useful technical guidance that pertains to Mercedes-Benz vehicles in general, based on the contributors' long-time dedication to Mercedes-Benz service and ownership.

Article topics collected in the Mercedes-Benz Technical Companion™ include:

* Maintenance and preservation procedures—from resetting the service indicator lights to washing and waxing your car.

* Heating and air-conditioning system repair including rebuilding the automatic climate control push button unit and converting from R-12 to R-134a.

* Driving tips, including the difference between torque and horsepower, and tire selection. You will even find informative diagrams showing oversteer, understeer and vehicle dynamics.

* Step-by-step instructions on how to replace shock absorbers and air suspension bellows.

* How to choose a repair shop, as well as extensive model, chassis and engine number comparison charts.

* Fixes for vacuum door locks, mechanical clocks and trip odometers.

* Detailed electronic component repairs, such as the Becker Electronic Grand Prix radio and W210 E-Class seat control switch.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Do not judge a book by its cover.
This book is full of excerpts from magazines published by The Star from various years. Good for general knowledge but this is not the book for you if you are looking for a detailed repair manual for a specific model.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mercedes Benz Technical Companion
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
This is a great book to have while working on my 1969 280. This book comes in handy quite a few times.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Mercedes-Benz Technical Companion
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.
