Both our cars are ODB1 so I had a Snap On 2500 scanner, sold it when I got the Mercedes DAS software for a spare laptop. You can pull the same codes with a Led light and some wires it's just that I suck at counting led flashes, pretty good at reading GUI interfaces. ;) The Dvd is a digital copy of the paper manuals.

I do all my own work on our cars, even after my back operation. Our 1991 500SL is easier to work on than our 1992 600SEL. Our 500SL doesn't have traction control (ASR) which is perfect for that chassis. On the 500SL the major problems are the oil tubes in the engine, hydraulic latches in the "A" pillar fot the convertible top and the wiring harness's. The 500SL is a piece of cake to work on compared to the 600SEL. So I guess it's all relative. To work on either buy the Dvd from the dealer for that particular chassis, a decent set of tools and a code scanner.

Ahh Hurst had I not spent 6 weeks in the hospital last fall I would have liked taking that Route 66 Mercedes Drive with you like you mentioned. Your wit is always appreciated. Yeah somehow folks just don't want 20 year old warranty information although the OnTrack stuff is pretty cool. It does direct comparisons with Mercedes and all other competing makes.

I also am a book junkie. I am a technical writer with a degree in Professional Writing (Yes, they have those). You are absolutely correct in that folks have no appreciation of the work that goes into writing a technical manual. I estimate that each Haynes manual costs approximately $250,000.00 to produce, if not more. Thomas E.

Then yesterday I happened to be looking at the Mercedessource site and found http://www.mercedessource.com/store/item.php?item=4%20Cylinder%20Diesel%20Va lve%20Stem%20Replacement%20Kit this kit to replace the seals. Hammie does consume a fair amount of oil without leaking it and does blow a bit of black smoke first thing in the morning. Is this likely worth doing? -Curt '83 240D "Hammie" 242kmi -- Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page
