More About the Author

Since 1950, Bentley Publishers has helped professionals and do-it-yourself mechanics by publishing highly detailed automotive manuals and time-saving service guides. We started by reprinting and distributing hard-to-find British car manuals, such as Austin-Healey, MG, and Triumph. Today we offer a full line of technical automotive reference information for Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen and many other vehicles.

Everything that goes into a Bentley manual - from developing the outline, tearing down a car, authoring the repair information, taking our own photography, to meticulously disassembling the vehicle (and putting it back together again!) - is done by our team of Technical Editors right here in our Cambridge, Massachusetts office.

In authoring our manuals, our approach has been to go for the details, resulting in books that may look intimidating, but are easy to use. More detail and less "averaging of facts" leads to less guess work when you are working on a car.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great DIY resource for your C-class., January 28, 2009

This review is from: Mercedes-Benz C-Class Service Manual: 1994-2000: (W202) C 220, C 230, C 230 Kompressor, C 280, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 (Paperback)

A serious repair manual (1244 pages) for anyone interested in DIY service on their 202 C-Class! The step-by-step maintenance chapter alone is worth the price of entry. Everything's covered from basic oil change to spark plugs, filters and fluid changes. With shop labor rates these days, it will pay for itself the first time you use it. There's also a great section on the electrical component locations and tons of wiring diagrams, if you're so inclined to dig in that deep. If you have any inclination to service your car yourself, this is a no brainer must-have.

This review is from: Mercedes-Benz C-Class Service Manual: 1994-2000: (W202) C 220, C 230, C 230 Kompressor, C 280, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 (Paperback)

Like any Bentley Manual, is the best service manual you can get, but this manual is not as complete as my other Bentley manuals (other cars)do I have. I also have the Haynes manual. You should buy both to have a complete information.

Item as described, I like this better than the WIS CD/DVD you find online. Having a hard copy service manual always made my job easier.
