Hi all, I have printed service manuals, the CD-ROM, and also the WIS. I was looking up and printing out information for my W124 sunroof repair. I've found that sometimes the CD & WIS have newer info than the older printed manuals, which is why I was checking. Anyway, I discovered something very disappointing. The CD-ROM is missing information in some jobs. Two examples - one minor, one MAJOR:
Job 77-050, removal of sunroof lining panel. In the printed manual, and WIS, there are 10 steps and 3 photos. In the CD-ROM, the last step - and photo - are left out. It's not a big deal in this case, but it made me look closer at all the others. Job 77-100, removal of sunroof lid/cover. In the printed manual and WIS, there are 10 steps and 5 photos. In the CD-ROM, there are 3 steps and 1 photo! Almost the whole procedure is missing!! If you only had the CD-ROM, you'd be totally screwed for this job. I'm shocked - this is unacceptable. I uploaded a PDF from the WIS for 77-100 here, if you want to compare your CD-ROM PDF file with what's on the WIS. I can't imagine that my CD-ROM is somehow messed up, but if y'all have the full 10-step monty, it must just be me. Basically the CD only shows page 1, while the paper manual and WIS have pages 1+2.
