Negative Positive
Title: Pretty useless for the average owner
Review: I have a 1989 300TE and had bought this book quite a few years back for reference information if anything went amiss in my car. It turns out the book recycles a lot of technical information about the car and its various systems (engine, electrical, lubrication, etc., available probably through the user's manual or books on the history of the Benz). There is little useful information or tips beyond that. My engine started overheating about 2 years ago and there is no information in the book on what the reasons may be and what steps to take. I also had my suspension changed recently, but it still feels a little rough; the book has no information of any reason why this is so, and what places to check.The scope of the book seems to be aimed at the professional mechanic, but the level of details is very skimpy. If you are a weekend do-it-yourself and want to do your own maintenance on your Benz, this "bible" would be a very uninformative and incomplete guide indeed.
Is the review positive or negative?
