OK, that's just WEIRD. Apparently my copy of the CD-ROM must be partially corrupt, if everyone else can see the full PDF on their copies. I don't get that at all.
For those wondering, the WIS covers all models from the mid-80's up - 124, 126, 201 and newer, but NOT the 123, 116, etc. It has more information than the CD's (for example in includes the transmission service info), but is less user-friendly. Details, and screen shots, are here: http://vzone.virgin.net/titanium.34/kms/wis/wis.htm If you want a copy, they show up on eBay, or drop me a private email. On a side note, the sunroof repair is plodding along slowly... I got it torn apart without major problems, and I'm cleaning things up right now. Should attempt re-assembly this afternoon. I'm taking lots of photos, stay tuned for a report eventually. :) +dm™ > ------------------------------ > Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2006 13:20:06 -0600 > From: Hans Neureiter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] CD-ROM service manual missing information! > > > The CD for the 124 - E300D shows exactly what your pdf has. > MB did weird things on these CD's, mostly sloppy work. > Don't mind me asking: what is WIS? > > > On 1/25/06, Dave M. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > I have printed service manuals, the CD-ROM, and also the WIS.
