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.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Mercedes-Benz Technical Companion
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.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Mercedes-Benz Technical Companion
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.




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Okay collection of odds and ends...
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.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Mercedes Benz Technical Companion
this book is good for older model. no tech information about MB 2001 SL 500.
